This tire brand was launched as the Chosun Tire Company in South Korea in 1941. Hankook – the native pronunciation of “Korean” – was rebranded in 1968, and really only began selling tires here in the 1990s.
However, Hankook has become a tire-making force to be reckoned with, delivering a slate of 42 different models, broken into the Ventus high performance line, the Optimo and Kinergy all-season and touring tires, and lately, the Dynapro all-terrain and mud-terrain line.
This company offers all-season tires, high-performance tires, touring tires, ultra-high-performance tires, mud-terrain tires, and all-terrain tires. With it comes an outstanding performance lineup and a broadline of all-season/touring tires.
