Which country is Hankook Tire from?
2 Answers
Hankook Tire is a tire manufacturer from South Korea, established in 1941, and it is the first tire company in Korea. Here is some related information: 1. Many car brands use Hankook tires as their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires, and Hankook also sponsors some motorsport events. 2. Tires are very important for cars. Without a good set of tires, the car's handling cannot perform well. Tires are the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground, so they are crucial for the car's driving stability and safety. 3. When using your car daily, regularly check the tire pressure. The tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the pressure is too high, it will reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground, affecting the tire's grip. Poor grip can lead to worse handling of the car.
I've been using Hankook tires for several years and find them quite durable, especially performing stably on long-distance trips. Later, I learned from research that it's a Korean brand with its headquarters in Seoul. Although many tires are now produced in China, including Hankook's factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the core technology and R&D still come from Korea. I chose it mainly for its high cost-performance ratio—not as expensive as some European and American brands, yet it performs well in wet grip, making it worth recommending to friends who drive frequently. Daily maintenance is also hassle-free; just regular tire pressure checks can help them last longer.
