Hankook OPTIMO k415 is the tire used in the 2017 Lavida model, with the tire size being 205/55R16. Hankook Tire was established in 1941. After more than 70 years of development, Hankook Tire has expanded its business globally through continuous innovation and exploration. In addition to its global headquarters in Korea, Hankook Tire has three regional headquarters (China, Europe, and the Americas) and overseas subsidiaries and branches in 30 countries. Hankook Tire entered China in 1996 and established two production bases in Huaian, Jiangsu, and Jiaxing, Zhejiang. In 1998, Hankook Tire set up its China Technical R&D Center in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Hankook Tire has 15 sales branches and 4 logistics centers in China. Its consistently high-quality products have made Hankook Tire a leader in China's passenger car tire market, supplying tires to more than 30 automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, and Beijing Hyundai. When using Hankook tires in daily life, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread wears out completely, the tire will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Even small cracks can pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove stones stuck in the grooves; try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, do not turn the steering wheel, as this can accelerate tire wear; do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber; avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging on the road.
