Re: Hankook Tires?
That's the one with the diamonds on the sidewall. Looking at the company profile I suspect manufacturing is done in Korea since there is no mention of stateside manufacturing facilities but "R&D" in Korea.
The rubber compound on the tires on display looked like dark graphite instead of pure black and the tread blocks were drilled for studs (per the salesman).
I've seen some very low prices- like $150 to $170 each for 315/70/R17 online for these.

They look pretty mean. At that price, it would be worth a try.

Re: Hankook Tires?
Just to close out this thread- I ended up buying the Toyo Open Country M/Ts. After reading all the positive post here about them and liking the look of them over the BFG TA/KO's it was a simple choice.
My local dealer is just down the road from home and accepted a good used pair of TA/KO's in trade for mounting, balancing, and lifetime road hazard putting my per tire price at $285.00 for 35/12.5/17.

You are either getting Toyo MTs or TRXUS MTs. |

Re: Hankook Tires?
Go with Toyo M/T's. You'll be very happy with them.
