Goodyear vs. Hankook Tyres

Comparing Goodyear and Hankook seems "unfair"; Goodyear has 120 years of tyre making history under its belt and is one of the most recognisable global brands the world over (remember the Goodyear Blimp?), versus Hankook who is still not as well known.

However, Hankook is an 80 -year-old Korean tyre company that is now 7th in the world, getting closer to Goodyear (ranked 3rd).

Their tyres have received critical acclaim from both regular drivers and car aficionados for producing high-performance tyres with affordable prices.

And as we know, Goodyear has always been at the forefront of tyre innovation and their exceptional designs are built for safety, comfort and long-lasting durability.

Both are solid choices for the Australian driver, and we at Tyroola will help break each option down for you.

Goodyear: More Driven

We don't have to try very hard to convince you that Goodyear is a big brand.

It makes some of the world's best tyres and also participates in motorsports, working with car constructors to develop winning tyres that can handle extreme driving conditions.

Constant R&D have set Goodyear apart, using creative designs & cutting edge technology so every tyre is state-of-the-art.

It's innovations include ArmorGrip, which incorporates Kevlar into each tyre to make them stronger and Active Corner Grip that improves handling during cornering.

Goodyear has also focused on developing eco-friendly solutions including discovering that soybean oil in tyres could increase tread life by 10%, reducing emissions and decreasing dependence on petroleum-based oils by almost 7 million gallons.
