We used them in a series (Hankook sponsored) with our Formula 1600 race car a few years ago and they were a pretty good tire; stood up to a lot of punishment.

Had them on my motorhome, not one problem. Hankook tires where made for large commercial trucks and then they started making them for non-commercial vehicles. Good tire for the price.

I run that brand on my mustang... they have held up to a lot of abuse on the street and drag strip. I would buy them again.

Just to get the facts straight! I double checked my brothers tires (I made the original post) & these Korean tires were made in china just like most everything else!!!!

I guess there are some good Chinese (or Korean) tires out there by the response from owners. Seems like the Chinese get a lot of bad rap on their tires. Thats one reason why I went with the expensive Michelin tires for my 5th wheel. Heard a LOT of good reports about them and wanted to at least feel better after damaging blowout recently.

I am on the third set of HanKooks on my 1997 Dakota. I have never had a flat for any reason. I have pushed them beyond specs a little and delayed replacing them until the first rain in the fall. I have no complaints.
I like the HanKooks on my Dakota better than the Marathons that *WERE* on my TT.

F150s to busses, they are good tires. I just put 4 RF10s on my F250. E rated , nice tred, nice ride. No miles with the camper yet.

To clear up any misgivings about where Hankook manufacture tires, check this; it lists their production facilities which do indeed include China.
