The Hankook Optimo H725A tires will be fitted at the Volkswagen plant in Puebla, Mexico. The vehicles are sold in the U.S. and Canada.
"A high-profile fitment such as this is a great win for Hankook. Along with our ongoing business with Ford, GM and Chrysler, earning this fitment demonstrates that our brand equity is rising with automakers for the all-important North American market," said Greg Pae, president of Hankook Tire America Corp. "This OE business is very complementary with our replacement sales strategy, supplying dealers and consumers with high quality products that deliver a great return on investment." (Tire Review/Akron)
