Hankook Tires Quick Bio and Tires for Sale
Initially founded in 1941 as the Chosun Tire Company, Hankook Tires is now the world’s 7th largest tire manufacturer. Based in South Korea, Hankook Tires has methodically fueled expansion of its international operations by opening a combination of corporate offices, R&D centers, and production plants in North America, China and Europe. A strategic partnership in 1999 with Ford Motor Company gave Hankook Tires the increased recognition they were looking for in the US and North American markets.
Hankook continues to grow by focusing on tires made with the highest quality, the latest (innovative) technology, and tires for every major segment. Hankook’s full line of Ventus tires deliver high performance and ultra-high performance tires for your performance coupe, sedan and SUV.
The Ventus R-S4 tire delivers on Hankook’s promise to bring its race-tested technology to the street. Created for performance car enthusiasts, this extreme performance summer tire was designed and produced with the same technology and materials used to construct Hankook’s champion Ventus Z214 racing tire. This results in tremendous grip from greater contact with the road.
The Ventus V2 Concept 2 introduces a shift in high performance all-season tire design. Hankook created a unique “Twister System” groove design to forcibly evacuate water beneath the tire, optimizing/increasing wet weather traction. To ensure the Ventus V2 Concept 2 tire maintains its pristine appearance, Hankook added a stylized serrated band, raised lettering and a rim protection bar to protect your wheel’s lip against curb damage. The inclusion of kerf density across the tread supports winter traction without sacrificing wet and dry handling.
Hankook’s line of Optimo tires combines the best in luxury comfort and high performance. The Optimo H426 uses Hankook’s advanced silica compound to improve performance, increase wet traction, and increases fuel efficiency by lowering rolling resistance. As an excellent replacement tire for your touring sports car or luxury performance sedan, the Optimo H724 all-season tire sees improvements throughout. A solid center rib, high angle diagonal grooves and an interlocking solid shoulder rib increase handling. The high kerf density tread increases traction and closed shoulder slots with radial shoulder angles reduce road noise, making it the perfect complement for all-season driving.
The highly rated Hankook Dynapro multi-terrain tires provide excellent traction on every imaginable road and surface your truck or SUV encounters. The Dynapro AT-M gives you the best in highway grip and off-road traction, while a wraparound tread provides rugged puncture resistance. The Dynapro HT, a Consumers Digest “Best Buy”, is a premium all-season highway tire that offers enhanced snow traction, a longer treadwear life, and increased fuel efficiency.
