Hankook Tire America

My problem is with the Hankook Rebate offer which is a scam. Beware of them sending you an email saying «Submission Approved» and then not sending you the rebate.

I purchased four Hankook Ventus V12 Evo «Ultra High Performance» tires for my Mustang GT and boy was I dissapointed. These tires are not Ultra High Performance. I’ve had other major name brand tires Pirelli being the latest and have not had any problems. The Hankooks are falling apart. The center rib is peeling away and chunks of rubber are coming off. They wouldn’t warrant the tires and suggested I buy the next tire up. These tires are ok to go to work and back, but not for high performance driving. You would do better by going to another major name brand. At least they will back up their tires. This was a $ 1,200 lesson, I’ll never by Hankooks again. My friends in the Mustang club don’t have Hankooks, but they now know about them. Too bad, I thought a little competition for the other major tire companies would have been good, but looks like Hankooks are no competition. Buy Hankooks, but cross your fingers and hopefully nothing happens because they don’t back up their products. I do have to say the Customer Service rep was nice and courteous.

«Hankook»? I thought the technician at Sears Auto was trying to put one over on me, and sell me a cheap brand I had never heard of before. Buying tires is something one does maybe every 5 – 6 years, at best, and Hankook isn’t exactly buying up ads during the Super Bowl…
But upon researching the recommended Hankook brand over Michelin and Goodyear, the online reviews showed they stacked up against the «Big Boys», and performed even better. (Of course, this review does not trump any future performance problems, should they arise…).
I found a $ 40/​off coupon online after I had purchased a set of 4-​tires, which do perform great in the rain, snow and cornering. My Scion was riding on air! I mailed off the coupon and forgot about it. Until two weeks later when Hankook sent me an email saying my refund was in processing. Nice touch! And then another two weeks I received a cold hard check in the mail! Not a stupid debit card, a check, that I didn’t have to spend.
I’ve got two words for you when buying new tires: Hankook. Oh, I mean, one word, two syllables!
