Hankook now provides fitments for the Optimo H426 tire on Ford Fiesta 2011, Kia Soul 2010 and Forte 2010 models. The Optimo H426 is a newly-developed tire with a focus on providing the optimal balance of quality, performance and value.

In addition, Hankook is expanding its fitment of the Optimo H725 OE tire to the 2010 Ford Taurus 2010 -the first fitment of Hankook on a Ford family sedan. Drivers of the 2010 Volkswagen Golf will also be experiencing Hankook with the OE fitment of the Optimo H725A.

This includes a broad range of models, including the Ford F-150 and Edge 2010, Ford Flex 2011, GM Chevrolet Equinox 2010, Dodge Journey 2010, Hyundai Sonata 2011 and Kia Sedona and Borrego 2010.
