Our take

The Rocky Mountain HT is a practical choice for truck owners prioritizing budget over high performance. Its 50,000-mile treadwear warranty is reasonable, though it falls short of the category average of 61,048 miles. With a dry grip score of 7.5, it performs adequately in dry conditions, but its wet grip score of 5 is a significant drawback, especially in regions with frequent rain. In the highway all-season truck category, treadlife and comfort are key, and while the HT's comfort and noise levels match the average, its treadwear rating of 400 is slightly below the category benchmark of 625. This suggests it may wear faster than competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3, which also offers superior wet grip performance. For those who drive primarily on dry highways and are looking for a cost-effective option, the Rocky Mountain HT could suffice. However, if wet weather performance is a priority, the Firestone Destination LE3 or Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 might be better alternatives. Avoid the HT if you frequently encounter wet roads, as its lower wet grip could compromise safety.

Pros

  • 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, though below the category average of 61,048 miles, offers a decent lifespan for moderate use.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 is close to the category average of 7.7, providing reliable performance in dry conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 suggests confident on-road performance for highway driving.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is notably below average, which could be a safety concern in rainy conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 5 significantly trails the category average of 6.1, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • Treadwear rating of 400 is slightly below the category average of 625, suggesting faster wear compared to competitors.
  • The Firestone Destination LE3 offers better wet grip, making it a more suitable choice for wet climates.
