Hankook Tire Canada Launches Optimo H725 All-Season Tire

Hankook Tire Canada Corp. introduced a new all-season passenger vehicle tire – the Hankook Optimo H725. This tire offers consumers better handling, noise and braking performance while delivering significant mileage.

The Optimo H725 is a re-design of the Mileage Plus II, an all-season tire previously sold in Canada. The new tire features similar tread design as its predecessor, but an upgrade in the tire compound and structure has been made to satisfy the performance needs of today’s vehicles.

A speed-symbol upgrade from S to T, H or V and increase in tire mileage are two of the additional features in the re-designed tire, allowing drivers of the Standard Touring All-Season tire to experience long and regular wear. Streamlined symmetric patterns on the tread deliver several benefits over the conventional all-season tire, including:

• Enhanced wet and dry braking performance
• Superior handling
• Improved snow and ice traction

“Hankook believes in delivering tires that customers want and need, and our new all-season tire does just that,” said Bill Hume, vice-president of Hankook Tire Canada. “For drivers seeking value with improved performance, Optimo H725 is the perfect fit. This tire has an impressive set of features, is designed to meet Canadians needs better than its predecessor, and continues the Hankook model of delivering quality at a great price.”

The Optimo H725 is offered in 28 sizes from a 14” to 19” wheel diameter, including the five most popular tire sizes and nine of the top ten. Hankook Tire Canada is offering a 130,000 km limited treadwear mileage warranty on this product in Canada.

The newly-launched and re-designed Hankook Optimo H725 will be available through major distributors and retailers across Canada beginning in January of 2013. For more information, contact your local distributors or Hankook Tire Canada Corp. directly.
