What are the English letters on Hankook tires?
2 Answers
The English letters on Hankook tires are HANKOOK. Below is an introduction to Hankook tires: 1. Company: Hankook is the first tire company in Korea, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and special racing cars. Founded in 1941, Hankook Tire has five R&D centers worldwide to ensure it meets the needs of consumers in each region and enhances customer satisfaction. 2. Pros and Cons: Hankook tires are currently a brand with a high market share, chosen by FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, and Beijing Hyundai. The advantages lie in their relatively low cost, long service life, and high cost-performance ratio. However, the sidewalls of the tires are relatively thin and can be easily punctured by hard objects.
When I changed my tires, I noticed the word "Hankook" on the Hankook tires, which is the brand name, prominently printed in uppercase letters, looking quite bold. There was also a string of smaller letters on the side, such as KINERGY or OPTIMO series, representing different purposes, like energy-saving or comfort series. More detailed codes like 205/55R16, where R refers to the radial structure, and the numbers indicate the size, are very user-friendly for beginners to avoid installing the wrong wheels. Remember these letters, and you won’t get confused when choosing tires. My experience is, before buying tires, take a closer look at the specification letters to save trouble, especially when going on long trips—these markings become clear only when the tire pressure is stable.
