I had Hancook tires on a previous vehicle and they were excellent.

Funny. State that pretty much has no snow will be making tires famous for winter ones. Irony. I reckon, they will be flying them to Dakotas to test drive?

TN has a very strong base for automotive manufacturing. With Nissan, Volkswagen & GM they are in for a long ride.
Kudos to them!

I believe there is/was another big tire plant in NW TN, also.

I purchased Kuhmo's for a previous car, and have OE Nexen's on my current car. The Kuhmo's were only fair, the Nexen's are absolutely sh*t. Just garbage. I'll stay away from the Hankook family of tires, thanks.

I'm trying Hankooks on two of mine. We'll see how they hold up. Mine were built in their new plant in Indonesia.
