Hankook tyres go the extra 37,000 miles 11 June 2013

Fruit and vegetable wholesaler Robert Antcliffe is a convert to Hankook tyres since his RA08 front tyres, fitted as original equipment, notched up 87,000 miles on a Ford Transit Jumbo he bought in October 2009.

"The best mileage I've had before was around the 50,000 mile mark," states Antcliffe.

"I drive on motorways, on country lanes and in town, and fully loaded at least four days a week. So these tyres are fantastic. After 87,000 miles, these are still going strong and I'm hoping for another couple of thousand from them yet. I'll definitely be fitting more Hankook tyres when these finally wear out."

RA08 tyres has since been replaced with the new Vantra LT, designed, according to Hankook, to be even more robust than their predecessors.

The tyres' low rolling resistance is also claimed to increase fuel efficiency and minimise environmental impact, while they also offer high wet braking performance.
