Hankook Tire is known and respected around the globe for superior racing tires that stand up against the toughest competition.

With many years of very successful global Motorsports competition on the Hankook resume, Hankook race tires were officially brought to America in 2003 with the introduction of the Ventus RSS Z211 R-Compound Racing Tire. Since this introduction, Hankook’s involvement and investment in motorsports has steadily increased, as have appearances on the podium and in the winner’s circle.

In 2007 Hankook Tire will have a strong presence in both Professional Drifting and Time Attack Competition throughout the US. Hankook will also support some of the best teams in Professional Rally, SCCA and NASA Club Racing as well as many different categories of open wheel racing.

And, for the 5th consecutive year, Hankook Tire will once again offer one of the most complete and inclusive Motorsports Contingency Programs in all of racing, thus making Hankook the go-to tire company from the grassroots level to the ultimate competitors.

As Hankook Tire expands its motorsports activities in all areas of open tire competition, the focus will remain on developing technology and performance that keeps Hankook-equipped vehicles in the winner’s circle. Developed with special compounds for grip on wet and dry tracks, on road and off, Hankook proudly offers a complete line of race tires designed to excel in a wide range of Motorsports competition.
