Hankook is a Korean Company that does not build tires in the United States. I just checked their web site to be sure of this. They make tires in Korea and China. In my humble opinion if you can buy tires made in the USA by US workers it is better to try to do that then send more dollars to Asia. Korea sends millions of cars to the USA every year. The number of US cars made in the USA bought by Korea is miniscule.

If and when Hankook starts making tires in the USA I would consider them. But not until. I would prefer that the US does not become a third World country where we do not make any industrial product. There are many USA made tires that are no more expensive than Hankook. On the other hand there are lots of China tires that are dirt cheap. I would not put China tires on my motorhome if they were free. At this time.

This tire bashing is getting old. It's a world economy. Do you have a wide screen T.V.? There is a 90% chance it's made in China, Taiwain, or Korea. Get over it.

Stop the madness!

ROTFLMAO

Hankook is breaking ground later this year with a 800 million dollar plant in Tenn. that will employ about 1800 people.
Goodyear closed a plant in Tenn. losing 1800 jobs.

Good for you guys. But even when they get production up and running with AMERICAN WORKERS they will still be bashed here on this forum. You know, for the same reasons the Tundra gets bashed even though it's made in Texas.

Let's collectively STOP THE MADNESS! If you haven't been a user of a particular tire don't contribute-don't bash. If you want to contribute about YOUR EXPERIENCE about a particular tire-go right ahead we would all like to hear it.

I was sticking up for them. I currently have Hankook AH11's on my rv and running 22inch Hankooks on my Suburban. I will continue to purchase them. I'm also running three sets of General Grabber a/t 2 for snow tires on plow trucks. Another awesome tire.
