Hankook Tire Reviews

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.

I bought a 2023 Nissan brand new off the lot, it had Hankook tires from the manufacturer, I never drive over 55 mph, 20,000 miles later the tires were slick, and you could see the cord showing, I would not ever purchase HANKOOK tires again, and I would not recommend them to anyone?
