I'm looking at the same tire myself. I'm running a Dynapro (not the MT) on my Ram 1500 and I like them, the tread has worn very minimally after 3+ years and they do real well on the trails.
I am running the same Hankooks tires and love them. I was actually going to get the Kelly TSRs but they were out of stock. The TSR is built on the same casing as the Goodyear Duratrac for substantially less money.
I'm running LT285/70R17Ds, they're 33". Rain? I'm in SoCal, so I haven't seen much before putting on the Hankooks. It was the siping and large tread blocks that had me interested in the Kellys in the first place. I had a similar Kelly tire years ago and loved them.
I ran the Kelly TSR's on a 07' Silverado, crew cab, 1500 and on a 07' Jeep Commander XK with a 2" lift. Both ran 265/70/17.
I put 10k or so on the TSR's on the Commander before trading it in. They were great in the snow.
(I used to live in NE Ohio)
I had 20k on the TSR's on the Chevrolet before selling it. I never had any issues with the tires. Although, I did not have them all that long.
Just my $.02
Thanks for the pics and input. I think I'll go with the Hankook Dynapro MT. I like the aggressive look and I have no complaints with my current HD's on the pick up.
Well, since you said daily driver I'd go Kelly. They will be quieter, better in rain/snow, and will wear better on the pavement while still looking very aggressive.
I'm on my second Wrangler and have run the Hankooks on both. These have done great both on road and off road, a lot of forest roads, desert trails and some tough trails. I have the 315/70R-17 on the JKUR and had 295/75R-16 on the LJ.
My 315s are on AEV Pintler wheels, so far so good. I'm not really a rock crawler but have done some interesting trails and traction has been no problem. I air down to 15 psi and that seems to work fine. I would not hesitate to take my Jeep on any trail because of tires.
If you are still wondering--I have had the Dynapro MT's for 15,000 + miles in every thing except high temperatures (Alaska), they are a great tire.
Not as noisy as you would think, and out standing off road traction, mud, sand, rocks, ice, snow whatever.
I had Cooper SST's good tire but stone bruises and cuts shortened their life considerably( and pricey as heck). and they size out at a true 35'' tire
DynaPro MT for sure. I'm running 35x12.50 and love them. A couple guys I ride with bought them after watching video of me. My tires always cleared mud better than GY MTRs or BFG KM2s.
Having owned the Kelly TSR and run them all over the South West US and a few of the big name trails up in NoCal. I would say go with the TSRs. Great on frwy, rain, snow, rocks and sand. Good enough in mud but not great. I no longer run them because of they are only a 2ply side wall and I was in constant fear of damaging them on rocks (which never happened by the way). I now run Mickey Thompson ATZ P3s (3ply sidewall) which like the TSR are a hybrid design. So far they are doing great.
