Hankook Launches Laufenn X FIT HP Tire

Hankook Tire has launched an all-season SUV tire to its Laufenn brand portfolio. Hankook says the Laufenn X FIT HP tire offers SUVs and CUVs a comfortable ride without sacrificing performance across wet, dry and winter driving conditions.

The company’s research team introduced new tread and compound technologies specifically for this tire. Thanks to stiffness distribution and a wide square tread profile, Hankook says the X FIT HP will help reduce road noise. The tire manufacturer also says it features an updated tread pattern – four circumferential grooves with lateral and multi-layer patterns. This could prevent potential surface hazards such as hydroplaning.

With a Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) rating of 640, Hankook says the X FIT HP offers durability and accommodates various popular fitments across the SUV and CUV segments.

At this year's Mint 400, Team Falken drivers Cole and Sky Johnson secured a victory in the 4400 Unlimited Class and Josh Atteberry earned second place in the 4600 Stock Class. Cole and Sky Johnson equipped their 4482 IFS SXOR Motorsports Car with the new 40” Falken Wildpeak M/T tires.

“The Wildpeak M/T tire wear was phenomenal over that rocky terrain even with a ton of wheel spin from running 2WD,” Sky Johnson said. “These are super tough tires, I was not nice to them and didn’t have a flat, and if there’s ever a race to get a bunch of flat tires, the Mint 400 is one of them.”
