Hankook truck and commercial tyres
Hankook truck and commercial tyres for long-haul, regional, urban and mixed-service work. Available from GB Tyres alongside premium and value options for trade customers.
Who Hankook are
Hankook is a Korean manufacturer founded in 1941 and now one of the largest tyre makers in the world by revenue. It runs plants in South Korea and China, in Hungary, in Indonesia and in the United States, with a research operation split between Korea, Germany and the United States.
Manufacturing location varies by product and market. The country of manufacture is shown on the tyre sidewall.
Hankook’s Smart commercial tyre family covers long-haul, regional, urban bus and mixed on/off road applications, alongside light truck products. Hankook also supplies original equipment tyres to vehicle manufacturers.
GB Tyres and Hankook
We stock Hankook within our mid-range truck offer, alongside premium, value and own-brand options.
Practically, that means a dealer can quote premium, Hankook and a value tyre on the same vehicle, from one supplier, on one delivery — see truck, bus and coach for the available applications.
Sectors and ranges
The commercial line-up follows the standard split by axle position and duty cycle. Specify by position, then check the load index against the plated axle weight with the axle load calculator when checking a proposed fitment.
