Hankook Tire Reviews

My wife & I brought our new Hyundai Sonata with only 14,000 miles into service dept. at Hyundai to inspect tires & brakes & oil change before leaving on our long trip to Miami vacation. Everything checked out ok!! We drove 2/3 of way on I-75 highway & stopped for gas before the long 100-mile alligator alley ride to Miami. About halfway across, we noticed a thumping sound & our car started "pulling to the right". We thought it was a flat tire & stopped at the next rest area to inspect tires & proper PSI inflation. All tires checked out ok?? There was no "warning lights on " so we got back onto I-75 & we really got nervous as the shaking really got worse as we drove on. We had to slow down to 40 m.p.h. on highway with flashers on. We called roadside assistance for directions to nearest Hyundai dealership.

I did not even get 30,000 miles out of my tires! Worst of all Hankook does not stand behind their warranty. I was told today that because I couldn't show my last tire rotation my warranty was void. However all my other tire rotations are in the computer (NTB Athens Ga). Maybe I had to go somewhere different to get an oil change/ tire rotation last time. No I didn't carry the receipt into NTB with me. I shouldn't have to! Come on! Less than 30k!! STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!!! HORRIBLE TIRES AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Most tire companies bend over backwards for their customers. Hankook can't even honor a warranty of 100,000 mile tires when I got less than 30,000 out of them! The one star is only because I had to out at least one!!

Our 2017 CRV car with 70k mile Hankook tires. They lasted 22k miles. We put on the same tires and these ones lasted 32k miles. Hankook refuses any compensation for tires that obviously wear much sooner than their advertised miles. We were trying to support local business since Hankook has a plant here in Clarksville TN but we will NEVER put another Hankook product on any of the four cars in our household. Shame on you, Hankook, for not standing by your product guarantee.

Just finished 1 year (15,000km check) with only 13,400 Km on my 2018 Tiguan VW R line. "SIR YOUR TIRES Are Toast and need immediate replacement!" Stay away from any new cars with these tires. Where is the corporate VW liability for even thinking they can put a tire (one of the most important safety items on a vehicle) on the road knowing it is outright crap. They are enablers and party to any death or injuries as result of allowing their vehicles to leave the factory with DEATH TIRES! VW has spend millions trying to rebrand themselves over the TDI issues and then knowingly put low quality crap tires on brand new vehicles? Corporate profits and bonuses over customer service and responsibility.

My 2018 Honda CR-V came with Hankook Kinergy tires. They were supposed to be good for up to 70,000 miles, but shortly after the year long tire warranty expired, with only 24,000 miles, I was told that there was not enough tread left on the tires, and I needed new ones. Tire warranty is separate from car warranty. Honda should not be equipping new cars with these tires. When I called Honda headquarters to complain, they said it was up to the dealership to decide what tires to put on, so be warned that dealerships are not equipping their new cars with the best tires.

I have a 2017 Honda CRV that came with these tires at 20,000 miles I had a blow ou and there was excessive wear on the other back tire. Bought 2 new tires. Now at 35,000 miles and other blow out in a Hankook tire. I will never buy these tires again! I have been driving for over 50 years and never had a tire blow out. Now I have had 2 in one year. These are BAD tires.

My brand new 2017 Ford Explorer came with Hankook tires on it. During a routine oil change I was told that my car would need new tires ASAP! I was informed by Ford that day that Hankook released a bad batch of tires and that they would assist with financial assistance for a new set. At 30,031 miles I was told by Hankook that they would not assist in purchase or provide any support for new tires, because my car was over their 30,000 mile limit. 31 miles over....not a happy customer! I was not looking for a new set of tires, I was looking for respect and a little assistance due to their bad error and never informing their customers of their mistake.

I have bought 4 Winter tires of Hankook company a year ago in October 2018 with a $60 mail-in rebate. Hankook has no respect for the customer and their time. It has been a year wasting hours on telephone lines (855.242.1199, 888.371.2109, 833.835.5039) and chats, they just verify your address and pass it on to another phone line with loud music. I think, they have no intention to send rebates.

If you ever drive in the rain, do not buy these tires. There is no traction in the rain while accelerating, cornering or braking. They came on my new Equinox and had I known how bad they were I would have bought a different car.

4 tires were installed. Gas mileage started down immediately. Car has 40,000 miles and runs perfect till now. Mileage was down the very first tank full. My car keeps tract so it's easy to see the drop-off.

I just purchased a brand new 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid from the Capistrano Toyota in San Juan Capistrano. I mention them because they have not been helpful and have dodged responsibility as well as Hankook has. The Camry came stock with the Hankook Kinergy GT tires. I went in for the first services check at 5,000 miles and nothing was noticed in the tire rotation. right around a 1,000 miles later driving late on the 22 freeway entering the onramp to the 55 Riverside, slowing down about 45-50 miles an hour the back left tire interior wall blew out! Only 6k miles on the car, luckily there were no cars around us because we started to drift and swerve violently almost crashing into the on ramp wall. We were very lucky, my brother the passenger and I the driver that we weren't seriously injured or killed.

April 2018 I purchased a set of 4 Hankook Optimo tires size P175/70R14 for my 2000 Toyota Echo with 96,873 miles on odometer. Tires came with a 70,000 mile warranty. Today, Aug. 31, 2019 with 117,400 miles on odometer I replaced these tires. Tires had been rotated and balanced at 6,000-8,000 mile intervals. At last rotation at 113,000 miles all tires had less than 2/32nds tread depth.

My 2018 Explorer XLT came with these tires 255/50R20. At 11000 miles I had to replace them. They were chunking apart. There are thousands of complaints on these tires. Why Ford still puts them on their cars is insane. I will never buy another car with these tires on them.

I bought a 2018 Honda Accord, that came with Hankook Tires. I was driving I65, coming home from work and my rear tire separated from the rim. I could have caused a horrible accident or been in one. These tires are death rubber. Stop making these tires. Replace the defects, get them off the road! Recall!!! One life saved is worth it.

I purchased a new 2018 F-150 platinum with Hankook Dynapro ATM 275/55/20 tires. At 5,000 miles the rear driver tire developed a bulge in the sidewall approximately 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide from center of sidewall to the tread. At 7,500 miles a similar bulge developed in the front driver tire. Frontier Ford in Santa Clara, CA service department told me to call Hankook and Hankook told me it was the dealer's responsibility to warranty the tire. These tires are defective and unsafe to drive on and I need help to get someone to take action. There are several reports online regarding Hankook tire sidewall and tread defects.

Son was driving to work and the RR tire's entire sidewall blew out. In my 40+ years of driving, I have never seen a tire do this, especially ones that have less than 15,000 miles on them. I see a recall for the larger tires (245 and up), but these are 205/55ZR16. Discount Tire (vendor) will replace @$58, stating this is the cost of the 'deductible'. Called and LVM with Hankook and am awaiting their return call. I'm concerned for his safety and worry about the other three tires on the car. Not happy with the sidewall-trends with Hankook tires.

I bought a new car which has Hankook tire. It went bad in 6 month and Hankook Tire warranty department told that, "If you bought the tire separately we cover it but it is coming with the car so we will not cover it."

While travelling on interstate, we had a sidewall blowout. Following roadside assistance info provided in manual resulted in inability to make connection leaving no alternative but to use AAA towing to repair shop where we were informed tire was not reparable due to sidewall blowout leaving us no other choice than to buy a tire from the shop. Warranty states you have to present tire for warranty decision. When you are broke down on interstate and are out of options but to do as described above, compensation from manufacturer should be a no brainer! I hope Mr. Hankook uses Bridgestone tires when on the interstate and has no alternatives but to call Uber or Lyft.

On December 4, 2018 I bought 4 brand new Hankook winter tires which came with $40 rebate that was supposed to be paid out in 6-8 weeks. Today is April 10 and still big ZERO, NOTHING of the rebate!! Calling their customer service was less than useless, people are completely incompetent and unprofessional. Needless to say - I will NEVER ever touch anything that has Hankook name on it!!! STAY AWAY!!!!

After buying a brand new 2018 Explorer in Jan 2018, today, at 15,000 miles on the tires, my inspection was failed due to ALL FOUR TIRES needing replacement. Worst tires ever... Stay away from Hankook tires!

I purchased 2018 CRV in Jan 2018, which HANKOOK Tires were on car. I had car serviced regularly, which included Oil/Filter and rotated tires. At my last service at 24,000 miles I was told that as many as Three tires were worn enough that the tires should be replaced. The Dealer agreed the wear was Excessive. After Hankook Tires was contacted, by the Dealer, since Hankook would not discuss with me, Hankook offered to provide a 50% discount on 3 tires and none on the 4th tire. Dealer said if I replaced 3 tires, with discount the tires would cost me $341.61 and for 4 tires I would pay $509.31. I have decided to purchase another Brand of tire since I don’t want to buy another Hankook tire.

With a snow storm rolling in within two days my front passenger tire decides to blow out. Now these tires were mounted, balanced, and studded on 2/2/19 so less than a month ago. These tires are brand new. I paid over $500 for all 4 then over $150 to have them put on. Now I'm paying $170 for a new tire to be mounted, balance, and studded. I'm a older college student and I dont have time or the ability to afford to take time off of work or have the extra money to spend on things that I've saved up for. I work hard for the things I have. The tires came highly recommended. I'm extremely disappointed in the tires.

I put a set of Hankook Tires on a Cadillac SRX and it sounds like a truck from the inside with all the road noise. Stay from any Hankook tires if you're looking for a quiet ride. These are the worst tires I've ran a car on.

I purchased Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 P245/70R17 for my 2008 Dodge RAM. These tires are awesome - smooth ride, no vibrations in the steering and are quiet, great traction on wet road. Love these tires. I did purchase Goodrich, Cooper, Yokohama, and Goodyear tires in the past. I have had problems for years with small vibration in steering wheel from day one, I have had road balance done in past to try and smooth out the vibration. These tires make the truck ride and handle like new. I am very impressed with these tires and hope that Hankook will not try to improve on an already perfect product. I will purchase these again when it comes time to replace them.

I drive a 1993 Geo Tracker, four and a half years ago I put four new Hankook Optimo all season tires on it. I have never had such good traction in snow or rain. They wear like iron and ride good. Two months ago I decided it was time for new tires, went to the same shop but they didn't have the Hankooks, and the tire manager sold me on some Customs (that is a brand name), 145 tires they claimed were just as good and $15.00 less per tire than I had paid four years ago. Well, after two months and the first snow I am looking for Hankook tires again, will change these out and never buy anything but Hankook again.

These tires came on brand new 2018 Honda CR-V. I have had them rotated and balanced at each service, inflated properly. Now at 27,000 miles they show “abnormal wear” on 2 of them and have to be replaced. Hankook customer service offered discount on 2 new tires but I still have to BUY 2 new tires. At this low mileage, they should have proactively been replaced at no charge. After all, there was absolutely nothing wrong on my car to cause this wear and no erratic driving behavior that accelerated wear. Something defective in the production of these tires and I get to pay for that. Probably would not go with Hankook again basically because they didn’t own this problem themselves but put it on the unsuspecting customer.

Live on gravel roads and they stand up well to gravel with the rubber compounds they use. I have them on my Rav4 and they are pretty quiet as well good in snow.

Love the tires - grab enough to make the ride fun without plowing or skidding. Ride is quiet and smooth - will stay by this brand. Best as an all weather tire too - good for snow and rain grip - with confidence.

The Hankook Ventus Noble S1 came OEM on my Elantra Sport. They are wearing evenly after almost 20,000 miles; regular rotations; proper inflation. They're a tad bit noisy on non black-top surfaces; handle/corner well; great wet/dry traction/rolling resistance, and braking performance.

One of my tires had a flat, don't know why. My mechanic recommended Hankook tires are more durable for less money. They have a 70,000 mile warranty.

The Hankook tires are a middle priced tire, good ride, traction and life. Maybe a little more slippery but that’s hard to tell with full time four wheel drive.
