Just because a particular Brand lasted well isn't really a testimonial to the Tires Performance. You could not possibly wear out any of the Tires originally installed unless You drive every Day and haul a large amount of weight. They will Age Out before they wear out!
Of course if there was uneven wear due to poor alignment or damaged components that would certainly affect the tires longevity.
The Manufacturer could also produce Defective Tires,that might cause premature wear,such as rivering ,which We saw a few Years ago on some American produced Tires!
Personally I have never had a Tire problem that I could blame on the Manufacturer. I have had a problem that was attributed to tampering with the Valves resulting in total loss of pressure on two Duals . I have a pretty good idea who did it but can't prove who it was!
I also had a Blow Out on a Fifth Wheel Tire which had been curbed during a Parking Lot Entry!
Getting back to Hankook ,I haven't personally used them ,but have read good reviews!
I'm running Double Coin, traction Tires on the rear and Continentals on the Steering axle !
They are just as quiet and Ride the same as the Michelins that came with Our Rig when We bought it!
