I couldn't find much info on these tires since they are new to the market. I couldn't even find a tire dealer that had them in stock or a floor model to look at in any size. So, I took a chance and ordered 4 in 305/45R22. I know from research the AT2 was nothing special, but from the extremely limited info I could find on the AT2 Extremes, they are supposed to be much better with much better compounds used and better tread pattern. 

I only put about 100mls on them so far, but I have to say so far I am impressed. I used these to replace my Michelin Defender LTX MS tires which are basically the gold standard for quietness, smoothness, and all around great traction. I have to say, the Hankooks are just as smooth riding as the Michelins with just a slight, and I mean slight amount of more noise. Which really impresses me because the Hankooks are an AT tread pattern with 3 peak snowflake rating. I also nead to mention the tread pattern on the Hankooks looks way more aggressive than I thought based at looking at the limited pictures on line vs in person, pictures don't do them justice.

My truck is a 21 RST, 4x4, CC, SB, stock suspension, factory 22's, and the tries fit with no issues at all. I did use 3/8" spacers on the front and 1/2" spacer on the driver side rear to get them flush with the wheel wells, just for looks. I did change the wheel studs to longer studs for proper fit and I did a thread on that a few months ago.

One disappointment so far is that a video review I saw on these tires said they were stamped "Made In America", mine say "Made in Korea". 

 

Edit Update:

First time in the rainy weather here in the northeast. Drove in a light drizzle to heavy downpours today. The tires performed excellent in the wet weather. No slippage, no spinning, hydroplaning was almost non existent, and confident cornering at highway speeds. I'm really happy about this because it was a toss-up between these tires and the Toyo Open Country 3's, but the wet traction reviews of the Toyo's really steered me away from them (pun intended). 

 

Edit Update:

About 1500 miles on these tires now and I find I lost about .5mpg as compared to the Michelin Defenders I had. Not bad for an AT tire. And did I mention just how quite these tires are? I really can't believe it.

I'm starting to think this thing would look great with the 2" factory Trail Boss lift. Hmmmm.....

Did these fit prior to the spacers? I am looking to do the same tires without spacers if they fit.

Yes, they fit without the spacers.

How have these tires held up?? 

20,000mls now and they are still solid. Still quite, still smooth, still have great traction in all weather conditions. Wear is nice and even, and they are still in balance. I'd buy them again.

Great looking tires!  Hankook makes excellent tires.  Often overlooked and underrated.

On the recommendation of Diamond817 I also got the Hankook Dynapro in 305/40r22.  Great looking tire tread, not a lot of road noise, and the extra tire width suits the truck well.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
