Hankook Tire & Technology won the 2021 Good Design® Award, for their SUV/LT tire Dynapro AT2 Xtreme and Dynapro XT.

Both tires were unveiled in the North American market last October and have been well received by the consumer market.

As Hankook’s first Rugged Terrain product, the Dynapro XT features high-rigidity polygonal blocks and wide zig-zag grooves that offer excellent off-road traction in rugged conditions as well as an aggressive saw-toothed sidewall design that provides protection against punctures. The Dynapro XT also comes equipped with a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, posting excellent performance in severe snow conditions.

Additionally, the optimized pattern provides a quiet and comfortable ride using arranged pitch variation technology, chamfered edges that minimize road impact, and shoulder block cushions that absorb road noise.

The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme, with an aggressive shoulder design, features enhanced noise reduction technology and longer mileage with a 60k mileage warranty. Its aggressive high-depth sidewall blocks and cross-combined shoulder scoops strengthen off-road traction and help prevent cuts and abrasions.

The Dynapro AT2 Xtreme is also 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rated, built with multi-directional grooves and sipes as well as biting block edges that provide added traction in wet and severe snow conditions. Additionally, the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme provides quiet and comfortable on-road performance with its noise-reducing tie-bars and staged block edges.

“We are truly honoured to receive the Good Design® Award with our Dynapro products. This award proves not only that our design extends to performance and quality but the safety of our passengers as well,” says Jimmy Kwon, Vice President of Hankook Tire’s Brand Lab. “We will continue advancing our design capabilities through continuous R&D investments and joint projects to lead the future mobility.”
