Hankook Tire Co. has been selected as OE supplier for the 2016 Lincoln MKX. The vehicle will be fitted with Hankook’s 20-inch UHP all-season tire, the Ventus S1 Noble 2.
The Ventus S1 Noble 2 was developed for drivers who want a comfortable drive, Hankook said. The tire features an asymmetric four-channel rib design to evacuate water and the tire’s advanced silica rubber compound offers wet and dry handling, braking and lower rolling resistance, plus higher durability for increased performance and control, the tiremaker adds.
This deal is Hankook’s fourth OE fitment with Ford’s premium Lincoln brand. Hankook tires are on the MKT, MKZ and Navigator.
