How Long Do Hankook Tires Generally Last?
2 Answers
Hankook tires generally last about 3 years. Below is relevant information about Hankook tires: 1. Introduction: Hankook Tire, founded in 1941, is Korea's first tire company, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and specialized racing vehicles. Hankook has five R&D centers worldwide to ensure its tires meet the needs of consumers in each region and enhance customer satisfaction. 2. Technological Philosophy: Kontrol Technology is a technological philosophy. The 'K' stands for 'Kinetic,' representing 'motion,' which reflects Hankook Tire's technological philosophy. It is widely applied in all areas of product research, development, and production to ensure a top-tier driving experience, achieving excellence in environmental protection, safety, performance, and comfort.
I've been using Hankook tires for several years. As an urban commuter driving daily, they typically last around 5 to 6 years on average. Potholes on city roads accelerate wear, and my habit of abrupt braking makes the wear more noticeable. The last time I changed tires was when the tread became shallow, prioritizing safety. Many factors affect tire lifespan—frequent highway driving can reduce it to about 4 years, and parking under direct sunlight speeds up aging. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and tread depth; a visual inspection once a month is sufficient. Cost-wise, moderate usage helps save money. Don’t just focus on time—when tread depth drops to 1.6mm, it’s time to replace them to avoid slipping in rainy conditions.
