A Korean tyre company that started life in Korea under a different name - "Chosun Tire Company" – Hankook tyres literally translates to ‘Korean Tyres’. The company was first founded in 1941 and then renamed in 1968, to reflect the brand it still exists as today.

With headquarters and manufacturing facilities all over the world, Hankook Tyres boasts a global presence, and is known for its balance between high turnover and quality testing results. Despite being regarded for a long time as a mid-range company against other tyre manufacturers, Hankook has risen to become a premium radial tyre manufacturer in the last ten years or so, owing to its vast sales and incredible approach to innovation through research and development.

As of now, Hankook is the preferred car tyres supplier for several vehicle makes and models with OE (original equipment) marking, including Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche vehicles. This, combined with Hankook’s varied range of tyres and promise of reliability on the road makes Hankook tyres a good option for drivers across the UK and beyond.
