It’s the ‘MO’ label on the sidewall that Hankook says it is particularly proud of. The two letters stand for ‘Mercedes Original’, and only tyres that match the strict quality criteria are approved as original equipment for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Hankook has been an original equipment supplier to Volkswagen for many years, and is now equipping three further vehicles from the German car maker with its tyres.
Safe handling, low wear, high comfort, low tyre noise and reduced rolling resistance are key performance criteria when it comes to tyres for the discerning frequent driver.
Hankook is currently showcasing its non-pneumatic tyre (NPT) ‘i-Flex’ in a joint entry with Hyundai Motor Company at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 in Las Vegas.
