About Hankook Tyres

Hankook is one of the world's leading tyre manufacturers, founded in Seoul, South Korea in 1941. With over 80 years of engineering expertise, Hankook has grown from a regional manufacturer to a global premium brand trusted by some of the world's most prestigious car makers. Since 2023, Hankook has been the exclusive tyre supplier to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship — the pinnacle of electric motorsport.

What sets Hankook apart in the mid-tier segment is their extensive OEM partnerships with premium European car manufacturers. BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen all fit Hankook tyres as original equipment on select models. This means Hankook tyres are engineered to the same exacting standards as the premium brands, but at a more accessible price point.

Hankook is also a proud global partner of Real Madrid CF, one of the world's most successful football clubs. For New Zealand drivers, Hankook represents the sweet spot between premium quality and smart value — you get OEM-grade engineering without the premium price tag.

Hankook is rapidly becoming one of the most popular tyre brands in New Zealand, particularly among drivers of European vehicles. Their Ventus and Kinergy ranges offer excellent wet weather performance — crucial for New Zealand's frequent rain — at prices that represent genuine value for money.
