Does anyone have experience with this brand tire. I found a 750R16 G that would fit my 5th wheel. They are the same diameter as the LT235R85 16. They are narrower than the LT235's but have the same load rating.
They are made in Korea.

If you do a search on these tires, most if not all of our members would buy them again. Boils down to price, and ride.

Our company Ford E-250 vans have Hankook 16" LT tires. The Hankook sidewalls say they're made in Korea. They last about 30k miles before the company puts on more of the cheepest tires they can find of any brand made anywhere. I'm aware of only one that has popped on the interstate but the guys don't keep up on air pressure like they should and routinely overload their vans. Since all the talk about Chinese tires, I've noticed a lot of Chinese tires on work trucks and family cars. I saw Hankook tires on an 18-wheeler today. Les Schwab seems to embrace them. I'm having a hard time accepting the Chinese Nankangs on our new 5th wheel even though they've given us no reason to not trust them yet.

I run them (not that size) as drive tires on my TV and have had good experience with them.

My daughter runs them on her Mustang and has had very good service from them.

A lot of the smart owners in Canada speak highly of the Hankook Ice Bears for winter use.

very simple...if it's made it china..insist that your dealer replace them..otherwise you may be OK...folks it's no secret that chinese bombs are like walking the plank with a blindfold so if your tires come from china tell your dealer..or better yet DEMAND that your dealer put on legitimate tires prior to you making the deal..
