Hankook Tire Reviews

These tires are junk. My 2026 Toyota Corolla that I purchased on April 9 came with Hankook tires. This morning, I found a flat tire on the car - car has 660 miles on it. I had AAA put the mini tire on and I took the car and tire to the dealer and got rude lip. I took the tire to a tire service dealer who tested the tire. It is cracking and deteriorating. The tire was produced in week 45 of 2025 and, after 6 months (3 months on the car) and 660 miles of use, it is deteriorating. Who buys a new car with the anticipation of buying new tires every 600 miles? I paid the tire dealer for 4 new Goodyear Assurance all weather tires and will fight Toyota to pay me for the cost of the new tires.

I bought a new 2025 car last year with Hankook tires. I have 7500 miles on the car and one of the tires has a huge bubble. My dealership and Hankook would not replace the tire. In fact, Hankook would not reply to my messages. I would never buy a Hankook tire. Ridiculous.

I bought a 2025 Honda HR-V new with 13 miles on it at purchase. The car had Hankook Tires and at 17,000 miles two tires were at a 3-4 and needed changed out. This is ridiculous! I went to SUNSET HONDA in San Luis Obispo in hopes they would honor my purchase and take care of this with two new tires. After FOUR months of trying between sales, service and the GM they said they will pay for ONE tire. Well, shame on them and shame on Hankook for the shotty tires. Sadly, my daughter went to SUNSET HONDA and purchased a car there before this mess. That will be the last and as far as Hankook, SHAME on them for not honoring a warranty of 70K miles when they are worthless at 17K! BUYER BEWARE!!!

I took my Nissan Altima Platinum 2021 with 29,800 miles to a my dealer ship where I originally bought the vehicle new off the lot. During my yearly inspection they advise me that the tires was starting to crack and dry rot and would not pass the inspection and recommend to reach out to the mfr. I spoke to a representative at Hankook and provided my tire model# 235/40R19/92V and ask him how tires that are suppose to last from 40,000-70,000 that still is showing a lot of tread but are now starting to crack and dry rot with such low mileage. He wasn't able to really give me a good answer just talking in riddles about the warranty expires. Good Customer service would have at least attempt to make it right by offer any kind of resolution on getting the customer issue resolve.

I bought 4 run flat tires 225/50R18 in December 2025 and today 4/27/26 I blew a tire on the freeway. Did not run over anything!! Went to where I bought the tires and they said the tire has no warranty!!! No one told me this. I paid $1200.00 for 4 tires. How can that be??? Then I called Hankook customer service. What a horrible experience. He said, "Well you could have bought regular tire from us and just not have a spare!!" How messed up is that! I will write reviews wherever I can regarding my experience. Can't believe manufacturers are allowed to do this! Very upset in California. Dora

I purchased a new 2021 GMC Terrain SLE (5 miles on odometer) on 6-30-2021 and it was equipped with 19" Hankook Kinergy GT H436 all-season passenger tires with a 70,000 mile warranty. In the spring of 2025, during a regular tire rotation at a local tire shop, I was advised my tires were down to about 6/32 and I needed to start thinking about new tires. I assumed it was a sales tactic because I didn't think I would need new tires when my mileage was a little over 30,000 and my tires were warrantied to 70,000 miles. On 1-6-26 while receiving regular service at my dealership, the technician informed me that my tires were down to 5/32 and I needed to start thinking about buying new tires by the time of my next oil change. My mileage, according to the service record, was 36,045! I had the 70,000 mile warrantied Hankook Kinergy GT tires replaced on 3-31-26 at 36,973 mileage. I did not replace with another set of Hankook tires.

Bought this set of 4 tires (Kinergy PT H737) because they came with the 90k mile warranty, while currently sitting at 65291 since install I am now at 3/32nds across all 4 tires. As a diesel mechanic, I do all rotations myself, and due to the mileage I put on my vehicle (about 108 miles a day) I typically did my rotations monthly as a preventive maintenance. Well lo and behold because there was no shop paperwork showing them as completed, Hankook refused all warranty coverage as well as installing retailer. When talking to their customer service line, I was pretty much informed they won’t accept a mechanic doing work on their own so I was out of luck on getting any participation. I would stay far away as possible from Hankook Tire, they do not last anywhere near what they say and the warranty is worthless.

The tires came with a $40 rebate but they don't give it to you there. You got 10 days to submit the rebate and I've been going for 4 days now back and forth saying I didn't send them the receipt which I did doublecheck. They said they didn't receive it. Send it again. Now they're saying it's only four tires on the receipt. It doesn't give me enough information. Please receipt I got from the garage. If you really wanted to pay the rebate to get people to buy your tires tell me why there's a time limit on it and why there's so much trouble to get it. Why don't I get the rebate with the tires. Why do you have to pay full price for the tires and then fight for the rebate that they promised you. Good question nobody has the answer to. That's how these big businesses survived. By being a bunch of crooks. Rebate is an excuse to get you looking their way.

It’s amazing, how one customer service representative can destroy a brand reputation in the eyes of a customer by not doing the right thing. In this case, all the representative needed to do was re-issue an expired date rebate card and make a customer happy. Unknowingly I lost sight of the date on my rebate card. It expired and I requested a re-issue. I was told, "Unfortunately, we aren’t able to reissue your expired card."

The tires are great. However, a good part of the reason that I purchased these tires is because there was a $50 rebate for every two purchased. I purchased the tires in October and it took 3 months of going back and forth to get them to accept the invoice for the rebate. Upon acceptance I was told it will take 8 to 10 weeks to get an email to choose how I would like to receive my rebate and it will be sent out, I imagine, a week or two after that. So by the end of the ordeal, I will have waited almost 6 months for my rebate. Had I known, I probably would have gone with a different brand. Their customer service could use some help.

Don't get duped in the tire rebate world. Hankook a foreign company will rip you off. It is very shameful that foreign companies are still allowed to rip Americans off daily. Stay away from Hankook tires. Buy American products from American company.

I purchased 80,000 mile warranty Hankook tires. 75% of the tread life has been used up after 30,000 miles. Hankook would not honor the warranty because I rotate my own tires every 6000 miles with an oil change. Hankook denied it because I needed to have a shop documented date each time the tires were rotated.

Do not buy these junk tires. I spent 500 bucks to keep trying to balance one of them, brand new. 3 shops. Last was a road force balance. Total wobble junk. Sent in to the rep, and bought another one, which was not much better. They even stated it was out of whack. No refund. Returned me my junk tire. Never again will I buy Junk Hankook tires.

7/25/2025 Purchased 4 tires for a 2023 Expedition from Ford. Family trip to Virginia rear tire tread separated. One side of the tire was 3' higher than the inside. Had to go 25 miles to Savana to replace that tire. $300.00. Made it back to Florida and the remaining tires were running rough like you were riding on the edge of a grooved road. Tried having them balance to make sure that wasn't the problem $106.95. Replaced the remaining 3 tires with the same make as they installed in Savanna 1,010.09. Mavis stated the tread had separated. Have been emailing and calling Hankook Tires for 4 months. They said to have the place were we purchased the tires make the claim. Company said We have to make the claim. Hankook Tire company is the worst corporation I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. CROOKED!!!!

I bought a set of 4 Hankook tires from my local Ford dealer. Within a few weeks of purchase, I started getting a shake while the tires were cold. Once they got up to temperature, the shake went away. I took the car back to Ford and they called Hankook Tires' warranty department and Hankook refused to do anything. The Ford dealer made things right, but I will never have another Hankook tire on any of my vehicles. I emailed all the North American Hankook tire team, and there has been no response. Hankook does not stand behind their tires. This cost me $614.

I own a 2023 Nissan Rouge. After 15,000 miles the factory installed tires needed replaced. The dealership recommended Hankook Dyna Pro. 65,000 mile warranty. Fast forward 13 months, I have less than 16,000 miles on the new set of tires and they are shot. Mind you, I have my vehicle serviced regularly, I drive approximately 1,000 miles a month on my tires and I'm not a race car driver. So to say I was shocked that I needed new tires was an understatement. I surely thought Hankook would honor the warranty. NOPE. THEY WON'T. Their product is trash and their customer service is even worse. Well done standing behind your product and honoring your warranty. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THIS COMPANY AND I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW TO STEER CLEAR OF THEM AS WELL.

I will never again own any vehicle with Hankook tires. I have a 2020 Ford Edge with only 37,812 miles on it. It came with Hankook tires and this week (Oct 2025) I had to replace all 4 tires because they had developed leaks due to dry rot of the tires. The vehicle was garaged its entire life and tires were rotated per manufacturer's recommendations. The tires were never over or under inflated. Never again.

We purchased a new Toyota Camry with Hancook Kinergy GT tires. We got 26k miles out of them before the rear one got a bubble in the sidewall. These tires have a 70k miles warranty which Hancook customer service has denied saying “we don’t know what the tire has been through.” I would not recommend this company. Garbage tires.

These tires came on our 2025 Honda CR-V when we bought it new. We only got 17,000 miles from them. They didn't wear properly right from the start and started cupping even though we rotated them every 6,000 miles. Also, they do not warranty stock tires from the dealer. I would never purchase or recommend these tires.

Just bought a set of four Hankook Tires last weekend, after reading all these terrible reviews on the brand and almost no warranty honoring their products. I'm head back to the same tire dealer that recommended Hankook instead of my usual Goodyear brand. I definitely don't need these dangerous, poor quality tires on my Dodge Avenger.

New car 2024 Nissan Sentra 70 k. Tire only made it to 17262 and have to be replaced. Junk tires. Called customer service. Will warranty 72% only if I go back to the same junk tires that they offer....

Hancock's rebate program is nothing but a SCAM!!!! I submitted for the 2025 Hankook Spring Rebate rebate which advertises the rebate within 8-10 weeks later. It has been 16 weeks and no rebate has been issued. There has been zero communication, zero accountability and zero respect for the customer. Customers deserve better than empty words and false commitments. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HANCOCK!

I bought a set of Hankook tires for my Nissan Sentra. They are 75k rated tires. I replaced the first at 29,500 due to banding tread unravelling. Tire 2 replaced at 31,679 due to a large pimple on the side wall. Was discover tire was unravelling from the inside. At 35k miles I go in for a tire balance and rotation and am notified that the tread is to minimal for rotation. So all four tires are trashed by 35k. Contact Hankook and they didn't do anything to fix the issue. Only coming up with excuses each time as to why my warranty can't be honored. Not only am I done with this tire brand, but I'm also going to replace the Hankook tires on my truck even though they've given me no problems. Hankook just lost a customer with their lack of concern over some trash tires.

The Hankook tires that came from the factory on our 2025 Honda CRV began cupping at 15,000 miles and as time went on they became noisier and noisier despite our staying up to date with maintenance rotations etc. We are now replacing them at 19,000 miles as we are concerned about a safety issue happening while driving. Avoid at all costs!

Purchased these Hankook tires and they are complete "JUNK". My tire installer sent them back to "Hancooked" for a price refund because they didn't make the 70k they are rated for. Now the company questions whether they have been rotated and demand paper work for proof of rotation. I do my own tire rotation and the tires tread wear shows 2/32nds front and 4/32nds rear. Anyone with a brain and who measured the tires thread depth should know that these tires were rotated. WHAT A SCAM FROM THIS COMPANY!! ADMIT THAT YOUR TIRES FAILED AND COUGH UP THE MONEY!! I WILL NEVER BUY "HANCOOKS" AGAIN AND WILL SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPANY AND THEIR INTEGRITY.

Made 44k on our motorhome. Dynapro H2 separated the tread yet having excellent treadwear remaining. I maintained these tires thru rotation and tire pressure. I never expected this pitiful performance! I sent pictures of the replaced tire, remaining tread, mileage. Customer service (or the lack there of) wants me to bring the tire to a dealer locally… Tires came on the RV. The last person CS wanted on the phone was me! I got Nothing but the blues from Hankook… Finished with that after replacing all the trash!

Wow, what is going on with these tires? My 2023 has no tread left at 14K? Come on Honda, treat your customers better than this! Get rid of these Hankook tires. The tread and the feel of the ride have been my biggest complaints. I cannot wait to remove these. I have 3 other vehicles that do NOT have Hankook tires. My Prius tires currently have 66K on the tires. I believe my husband's Nissan hit 89K before he needed new ones. So disappointed!

"Zero stars" - sold a customer set of the "runflat" Hankook Kinergy GT tires in a p225/60r18 h436, less then 2 years later they were all at 3/32nds life left and evenly worn across each tread, tires had just under 27k miles on them and they were rated at 70k - customer kept all thier invoices with proof they had been rotated well under hankooks guidlines of under 7500 mile intervals as well as customer having the alignment performed twice - after 3 months of my company going back and forth with hankook they denied giving our customer any sort of credit - run flat tires are extremely expensive, customer paid about $1200.00 for them - I know what tires never to sell again and will let every customer know this before they consider purchashing them

Hankook tires came standard on my Honda CRV Hybrid but only lasted 19K miles. I called Hankook Tires and they agreed with me that the mileage was low and gave me a claim number so that when I took the car into Honda to have the tires replaced, the mechanic was to call Hankook with measurements and Hankook would allow some accommodations. I did what they asked and Honda called Hankook and Hankook denied their own claim. I tell you what, Hankook tire company and Hankook tires ARE THE PITS. Wasted my time calling the company and getting my hopes up that they would actually make the tires right. They won't even honor their own tire.

They keep ripping and exploding from the sides!! My agency bought Toyota came with these awful tires, and within a year the first year one of them started leaking on the side and then exploded on my way to repair it. They charged me $200 at Toyota to replace it for the same brand and model, now 6 months later, the tire has a hole on the sides AGAIN!! It's the sides that collapse with anything! So again I'm having to replace another one of these awful tires! But this time I'm buying a different brand.

Got Hankook tires on a brand new 2023 Honda HR-V. Fast forward two years later, and 14,000 miles, and they need replaced. Hankook does not warranty tires that come on a car brand new. Go figure. Definitely won’t ever be buying Hankook tires again. But definitely will tell others to stay away as well. Customer service told me, "Yep there’s nothing we can do. If you buy another set, THEN we may help you." Well, since you’ve already got me distrusting you, why would I believe that?

Bought a new Toyota Camry with Hankook Tires. Had all services done on a timely manner and tires went bad well before the mileage warranty. Hankook refused to honor warranty. I will tell everyone to buy a different brand of tire, unless you don’t care about a warranty. Bad tires and bad customer service!!

I purchased four Hankook tires with a 70,000 mi warranty. I have 16,400 miles on them as of now. Maybe a drop less. I was just told that the rumbling and bouncing is due to flat spots on all four tires. They sent me into a certain tire store. I had them look at them and they said yes they are bad. I have 6/32 of an inch left on them per Hankook Alonzo and Tyler. I was told that, "Sorry we will not do anything for the tires. They will not warranty them out." I can drive them until I get to 4/32 of an inch or they blow either way but they are no longer standing behind their tires and they do not stand behind flat spots.

I bought a new 2025 Camry with Hankook tires, I had a sidewall failure at 5000 miles, looked like something small pierced it. Toyota should be embarrassed for putting this junk on, but maybe it is the future of Toyota. This is my first sidewall failure in over 1.5 million miles as a driver. I have always enjoyed my Michelins, long life, quiet rides, good handling.

I needed a set of tires on my Cadillac XT5. My local tire dealer offered me a full set of Hankooks, suggesting they have had great (positive) customer responses on these tires. He wasn't wrong! At 30,000 miles, they still look great and ride equally as well. I just ordered another set for my wife's car and I'm optimistic about the ride and wear.

We bought a brand new EV9 equipped with Hankook tires. 4 months later one of the tires literally exploded in 2 places and because there was a small nail we were told it was normal wear and tear. And the customer representative I spoke to could not care less.

This review partly falls on Nissan's continued use of Hankook, but they will get a separate review. I've been reading that OEM tires specifically used by dealers can be "softer" or have lower tread than "premium" tires... Well my new 2024 Nissan comes with 75,000 mile Hankook tires, too much shock and consternation two of said tires are now to be replaced with 4/32 tread at just under 15,000 driven in about 9 months of highway use. Absolutely despicable that there are not legalities involved with this practice of misstating average tread / mileage life for OE tires. Unfortunately, they won't change unless a class action lawsuit is filed. It's a shame the way these companies operate nowadays. Customer quality and service is dead. Bring back American Manufacturers!!

Second set of Hankook tires and only getting 25k out of a 75k tire. Complete junk! Warranty not covering them! Then why even have a warranty if you're not going to honor it! Absolutely ridiculous! I'll never buy another tire!

I bought these 70,000 (2 year) mile tires for my Lexus ES. They last 34,000 miles. I had them rotated 5x. However they will not uphold their warranty because I twice waited until 10,000 to rotate. Worst $1200 I’ve ever spent! Do NOT buy! They will not stand by their product or warranty. Buy Michelin instead.
