The new Laufenn S Fit 2 is set to feature as original equipment (OE) on the new Skoda Octavia, the brand’s highest-volume model, and will be factory-fitted in the popular 205/55 R17 91 V size on the model.
With the recent introduction of the Smart Work AM11+, Hankook has introduced a tyre specifically developed for commercial vehicles used in regional and local distribution transport.
Hankook Tire has received the ‘2025 QR Zero Award’ from Ford, presented exclusively to global partners that have demonstrated “flawless performance over the past year based on outstanding quality competitiveness”, including achieving zero quality rejections in parts supply and zero warranty claims.
This spring, three independent tyre tests have confirmed the quality of Hankook’s range of summer tyres. In the Auto Bild major summer tyre test (10/2026 issue dated 5 March), the Ventus evo outperformed 19 other finalists in the popular 245/45 R19 size, taking overall victory with a score of 1.1 and the rating “Exemplary”.
Hankook Tyre UK has donated 12 Laufenn tyres to Festival Medical Services (FMS), a volunteer-run, non-profit charity delivering professional medical support at major public events across the UK and supporting medical charities worldwide.
Hankook has been named as the new global partner of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the world governing body for motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations.
