Hankook H727 Luxury Tyre

Our first product launch for 2014 is Hankook’s latest new tyre, the Optimo H727, which has been especially formulated for modern Luxury Cars.

The Luxury Tyre category has been largely overlooked in recent years due to the markets concentration on performance and SUV tyres which simply do not offer the performance and handling characteristics needed by Luxury cars. But there are a huge number of Luxury cars on the road needing modern tyres  for city and touring purposes. And regular family cars have similar requirements too, and they equally benefit from the fitment of high quality tyres designed to meet the requirements of these vehicles.
