Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12
Take on highways and back roads with the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12. This all-terrain tire blends confident traction with everyday comfort, using a robust tread that grips on gravel, dirt, and wet pavement while keeping road manners composed. Full-depth sipes and staggered shoulders aid braking and bite into loose surfaces, and wide channels move water to cut hydroplaning risk. A variable-pitch pattern helps keep highway hum in check, making it a smart pick when you want one set for daily driving and weekend detours.
Why Choose the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12
The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12 suits drivers who want strong on-road stability, dependable wet traction, and confident bite on light to moderate trails, without the harsh ride or drone of a mud-terrain. Its balanced tread design delivers predictable handling and long wear when rotations stay on schedule. It is not a specialist for deep mud or severe winter ice, but as a do-most, year-round all-terrain it hits a sweet spot of traction, comfort, and durability at a compelling price.
Key Features and Tread Technology
An aggressive, multi-angle tread pattern boosts forward bite on loose surfaces, and staggered shoulders help claw through ruts and uneven terrain. Full-depth 3D-style siping supports wet and light-snow grip throughout the tire's life, not just when new. A cut- and chip-resistant compound resists abrasion on rough gravel, and stone ejectors in the grooves help clear debris to protect the casing. Wide circumferential channels move water for better hydroplaning resistance, and a variable-pitch block layout is tuned to reduce pattern noise at highway speeds.
On‑Road, Wet, and Snow Performance
On pavement, stabilized center blocks support straight-line tracking and confident braking. In the wet, wide channels and dense siping move water from the contact patch and add biting edges for grip. In light snow, those same features help traction and clearing, though a dedicated winter tire remains the safer choice for frequent ice or severe cold. Off-road, staggered shoulders and rugged edges provide reliable traction on dirt, gravel, and forest roads while maintaining ride comfort and precise steering feel.
Sizes, Fitment & Load Options
Match size, load index, and speed rating to your vehicle's door-jamb placard or owner's manual. The AT2 Xtreme comes in popular all-terrain sizes for many modern fitments, with options for daily commuting and weekend adventures, and select sizes offer higher load capacities for heavier builds or towing. Avoid changing overall diameter without checking clearance and calibration needs, and always torque lugs to spec after installation. If you're unsure, our fitment team can confirm the right size before you buy.
Popular sizes shoppers search
Shoppers often search for the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12 in 275/60R20 and 265/70R17, along with fitments like 265/75R16, 265/65R18, and 265/60R18. Availability, load rating, and speed symbol vary by size. Confirm your exact OE specification before ordering to ensure proper clearance, ride height, and speedometer accuracy.
Warranty, Road Noise & Ride Comfort
Select sizes of the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme RF12 carry a limited treadwear warranty up to 70,000 miles. Coverage varies by size and application, so review the size-specific warranty before purchase. The variable-pitch tread helps keep highway hum in check for an all-terrain, and stabilized blocks limit squirm for a composed ride. Expect a slight increase in noise and firmness versus a pure highway tire, which is normal for this category. To maximize life and comfort, maintain proper inflation, rotate every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, and keep alignment within spec.
Dynapro AT2 Xtreme vs Alternatives
Compared with more road-biased all-terrains, the AT2 Xtreme adds more aggressive shoulders and extra off-pavement bite, with a small trade-off in ride softness. Versus dedicated mud-terrains, it runs quieter, uses less fuel, and performs better on wet pavement. If you are choosing between the AT2 Xtreme (RF12) and milder all-terrain options, pick the Xtreme when you often see gravel, ruts, or light trails, and choose a smoother highway-leaning design if you rarely leave pavement. For frequent heavy towing or severe winter use, verify size-specific load ratings and consider a purpose-built tire for those conditions.
