I've never used those, but they are listed as a commercial truck tire. Those usually are rock hard (14 ply????), thick tread for long life, and nothing in the way of "performance" (wet or dry grip). Hankook does make some good tires and even in the USA, but I don't think that is a great looking tire. See the thread BobJ started on tires.

I have used Hankook tires for many years and have had excellent luck with them . I started out using them on my ranch trucks because they are a very heavy tire with excellent puncture resistance and hold up well on rough roads . Now I use them on my wifes SUV as well as my trucks . When the tread wears down to nothing I still use them as trailer tires .

I have Hankook that came on my '07 F150 and my son had them on his '06 F150 I only have 45K miles on mine but the son ran his 70 plus K miles and they just then got into the wear bars. Of course the type tire I mention is not what you are looking at but the brand is same.

I had a set of 225-75 R-15 whitewall Hankooks on my 48 F-3 when I sold it. Never had any problem with them and the new owner is still running them...

Since my top speed is 45 and my max range is 50 miles and the truck rattles my teeth going over a leaf I don't know how much worse 14 ply could be - I am wondering about the traction part as we get a foot of snow 4/5 times a winter and I get 3 ft drifts in my driveway - I'll recheck Bobj's thread I kind of stopped following it for some reason - No Bob I wasn't bored with your quest - I forget so much I'm like a dog - Different room, different day
