Hankook Tire today introduced a new all-season tire, the Optimo H724, to the U.S. market at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The Hankook Optimo H724 delivers performance benefits such as improved h&ling, noise control & a comfortable ride at a competitive price that today’s value conscious consumers will appreciate. Additionally, the Optimo H724 provides an environmentally responsible option for consumers, offering longer mileage performance.

The Optimo H724 has been developed utilizing Hankook’s Kontrol Technology with improved durability that allows it to last for a longer period of time. This is achieved through a new carcass construction & wear resistant tread compound designed to improve longevity.
