Hankook Tire Reviews

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.
