Looks good Rich, can't wait to hear how they are going in a few thousand kilometres, my AT3's are all but worn out and I have been considering the Hankooks.

I ran AT3's as my every day tyres on the vehicle that I had the second set of wheels with the Hankook RTO3's.
Chalk & cheese off road but closer in comparison on road.
The AT3's were better on road in the wet, but failed compared to the Hankook's off road.


Cheers, Craig

No problem I'll let you know how they perform, I'm heading bush the Anzac long weekend and also to Channel country in July.

Now the sun is back out here is a better shot of the tyres:

Gordon should be able to confirm / deny differences.

TuffRR has exactly that setup, read here:

Update on Hankook MT RT03

Open road - they do not get any noisier compared to the Atturos.
Handling tar - great but they will never be as sure footed as a high terrain.
Handling dirt - fantastic.
Rocky steps - no contest compared to the Atturos. One particular step I had to had 4 attempts getting up with the Atturos I went straight up with the Hankooks. The grip level is that much better.

Hi Rich

I can see you have a D3 with 275/65/18, I wanted the same tyre on my D4 but does anyone know if it will rub on my car?

I don't have the skill to be moving AC lines etc so if that is the case, what is the absolute biggest tyre I can fit?

side note: what is epoxy paint? you mentioned you did this to the 18" wheels, I have plasti dip but agree this would be pulled off the first sign of rocks.

thanks mate, Luke
