Hankook Gains OE Fitment on 2016 Tacoma

2016 Toyota Tacoma_SR5_frontHankook’s premium highway all-season Dynapro HT tires will come as original equipment on the 2016 Toyota Tacoma.

The tires, in size P245/75R16S, will come on the steel wheels standard on the SR and SR5 versions, two of five trim levels of the latest generation of the pickup.

The Dynapro HT provides drivers with improved snow traction, lower rolling resistance for improved vehicle fuel economy, and an extended product lifespan, according to the tiremaker. While its 3.5% wider tread offers better driving comfort as well as longer mileage, the Dynapro HT also utilizes a stiff center block and an advanced multi kerf design to provide better handling and noise performance all year round, Hankook added.

“We believe that this new agreement with Toyota is a meaningful step forward for Hankook Tire as we seek to improve our presence in the North American OE business, particularly in the pickup truck segment,” said Seung Hwa Suh, vice chairman and CEO of Hankook Tire. “Our long-term partnership with Toyota once again demonstrates that Hankook Tire’s continued investment in R&D to develop cutting-edge tires meets the demands of one of the automotive market’s most significant players.”
