That's a very good mileage, I would be using the same unless I knew that the replacement will be a better/longer lasting tyre.![]()
47,000 km on the clock and time to replace the tyres. Has anybody else replaced the Hankook Dynapros and what with.

47k is quite good, if you have been happy with them, as others have suggested I'd be seriously considering the same. I had a series 2 liberty with Michelin MXV3's on it and got 80k out of those (mostly hwy though) and was pretty happy with them all round. Let a tyre guy convince me some yokohamas were every bit as good and cheaper and quite frankly they simply weren't as good. So my experience for all its worth. If you have been very happy with them, unless your needs/driving will change, think carefully before you try somethign else.

Hi Toner,
Stick with the Hankooks, unless you need better grip for offroad driving. They tend to "scrabble" a bit on the loose stuff.
Changed mine at 42000 km due to poor wheel alignment causing premature wear on one tyre, but the rear ones would easily have gone to 45000 km. This is better than I could ever achieve on at least 3 sets of Bridgestone Dueler HTs on my Forester.
Locally, its also the cheapest tyre available.
Got 4 new Hankooks yesterday. $190 each. Lets see how these go.
replaced my P6's with bridgestone dueller h/p sport at 55,000ks, now at 105,000ks and wondering what to try next - P6's are expensive here and don't know that I will be able to get the bridgestones for $150 ea. again...
I will be amazed if I get 47k out of the Dunlop Sport 01's I have, they have 21k on them and I think 30 k will pull them up. Might have to see how you go with the Hankooks

Just been through a tyre swap on my Tig and I must say I wish I'd stuck to the Hankooks,
I had the hankooks on there for 54,000k and was advised by the service manager to get Maxxis HP600 Bravos' and they were cheaper than the hankooks; unfortately I was in a bind as I had punctured a tyre with a roofing screw in the bunnings carpark; thankfully it sealed against the tyre but seeing I was close to needing new rubber I changed the lot otherwise the hankooks could have gone to 58-60k.
My biggest problem with the Maxxis tyres include visible sidewall bulge, poor wet grip & higher fuel consumption. The wet grip I've only found out today as it's rained for the first time in Brisbane since I got the tyres and on the flat taking off from the lights it spins the front wheels and traction control comes in; this is worse on a grade.
Anyway; looking at new tyres considering
