Hankook new off-road tyre, Dynapro MT2 for the European market
Off-road enthusiasts offered an all-access pass to adventure with Hankook’s Dynapro MT2, a tyre especially suited for difficult terrain. Successor of the off-road-focused Dynapro MT, the Dynapro MT2 is equipped with the latest innovations from Hankook’s Technodome R&D centre, making it the most capable and extreme off-road tyre #hankook has ever offered. The Dynapro MT2 is currenty available in over 19 popular dimensions from 15 to 20 inches from market launch.
Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 28th October 2021 – #hankook is expanding its off-road SUV range with the Dynapro MT2. With the POR (Professional Off-Road) identifier on the sidewall, the latest member of the Dynapro family has been developed with extreme off-road capabilities in mind. The tyre’s “MT” designation takes its name from mud terrain, and for good reason. 3D simulation software has been used to develop the Dynapro MT2’s Terrain Strike Tread Design to offer an aggressive, high-void tread pattern. As a result, the tyre’s traction on mud, dirt, rock, sand and gravel surfaces has been optimised.
Hankook's new split mould technology makes the tyre even more robust than its predecessor, the Dynapro MT, making it appear as if seamlessly cast from a single mould. The wraparound tread along with new Sidewall Protection Shields both work to provide extra biting edges when crawling over rocks as well as additional rubber gauge construction to protect against punctures. Interlocked tread blocks extending to the centre of the sidewall help to minimise damage to the tyre shoulder caused by off-road abrasions, whilst increasing overall rigidity and traction.
“We are delighted to offer off-road driving enthusiasts a purpose-built tyre designed to take on the toughest terrain, while still performing well on standard roads,” says Sanghoon Lee, President, #hankook Tire Europe.
The V-shaped shoulder blocks that interlock perfectly with the terrain further enhance the Dynrapro MT2’s high traction under extreme conditions. The self-cleaning cross grooves, with integrated stone ejectors, help to efficiently clear the tread of debris to increase grip and protect against stone drilling and puncturing.
The natural rubber content in the tyre compound of the Dynapro MT2 is not only produced sustainably, but also increases the elasticity of the rubber compound. This allows the tread to better adapt to smaller irregularities and offers maximum grip, whilst further reducing susceptibility to breakage and cuts. Thanks to their high surface density, the fillers used also increase the viscoelastic properties of the rubber compound and improve the grip on rough terrain as well as on standard roads. In combination, the tread design and tread compound reduce rolling noise on the road, offering a quieter, more comfortable ride.
The particularly robust carcass construction ensures off-road stability and precision as well as a comfortable driving experience on asphalt. The seamless high-performance bead wire helps to keep the tyre securely on the rim even when driving on difficult terrain with lower tyre pressures.
The latest addition to the Dynapro product line is available on the European market in over 19 sizes, some with the popular white "Dynapro" sidewall lettering. The latest addition to the Dynapro product line is available on the European market in over 19 sizes, some with the popular white "Dynapro" sidewall lettering and all with the POR identifier on the sidewall. POR stands for Professional Off-Road. These tyres are specially designed for rough terrain and have a special status because they do not fall under the EU label obligation. They may also be driven in winter in countries where winter tyres are compulsory, although they do not carry the 3PMSF symbol. The Dynapro MT2 includes the M+S marking on the sidewall.
Europe-specific (metric) sizes: from 15 to 17 inches, with tread widths from 215 to 315 mm in aspect ratios from 85 to 70, each with speed rating Q.
US-specific sizes: Tyre diameters from 28 to 35 inches with tread widths between 8.50 and 12.50 inches for rim diameters from 15 to 20 inches, each with speed rating Q.
