Question Anybody had experience with HANKOOK tires?

I've located some reasonably priced tires for my 5th wheel. They are "HANKOOK Dynamic RH03" Load range E. Anyone had any experience with these particular tires? They are OE on a lot of new Ford automobiles today, but I had never heard of them..

Thanks

never heard of them either but would assume they would have to be built "Ford Tough"

So were Firestones.....

It's your 5th wheel and your money, but having gone through a tread separation failure on a previous 5th wheel that did $2500 in damage, tires are one place I won't economize or try the unknown product. I'll let someone else do the R&D and field trials, thanks.

JMHO, of course....

We've run Hankook 245/75r19.5 hwy tires on our trucks and they are a nice tire, they don't last as long as Toyo's but they cost less, and we end us having more tread depth average over the trucks life. In other words cost averages out over time cause you have to replace the less expensive tires more often, but you have new tires with deeper tread for more miles of use. Hopefully this helps.

I ran Hankook Dynamics LT235/85R16's on all 4 corners of my truck for a while. 45000 miles on the drives, 74000 on the steer. No problems. They wore evenly, and I used 'em all.

I just put 2 on my 35' 5th wheel to replace the Goodyear Wranglers that came apart.
Haven't run them yet but hope that they do fine.

Hancook is what all the semis (trailer, too) run where I used to work, never any complaints from them.
