Hankook Tires W419 I-Pike RS 205/55R16 94T XL BSW

Hankook Tire Company has gone through many changes and rebrandings in its time as a tire manufacturer. Founded in 1941 as the Chosun Tire Company, they were the first-ever tire manufacturers in Korea. The Korean War disrupted production for a time, but the company bounced back, taking on a broad rebranding effort that saw every department put in their best work. The result is a tire company that started forging its own identity across the world. Today, Hankook's tires are among the most recognizable in North America, Europe, and its home region of Asia. It maintains a healthy rivalry with other major tire companies that keep it striving for better performance. The beneficiaries of this in-depth research and development are the consumers. Hankook's development team has been instrumental in developing new technology such as iFlex, which allowed a vehicle to travel at high speeds without using air for tire inflation. With its technological edge allowing it to provide tires that other manufacturers are still trying to catch up to, Hankook's tires may be on the wheels of the future. If you've never used a Hankook tire, you might be missing out on an outstanding balance of value, performance, and affordability. There's no better time to experiment with these Korean-made tires than now.
