The Hankook Optimo H426B tire is a run flat version of the all-season Hankook Optima H426 which is designed for added safety on sporty sedans. This is a grand touring all-season tire with a performance tire feel thanks to a blend of touring tire characteristics like a smooth quiet ride, with performance tire attributes like super grippy tread rubber. This allows the driver to push the vehicle to really enjoy spirited sport driving on twisting roads, but also a quiet comfortable ride on the highway. Vibration and noise are minimized by the unique rib and block tread pattern. The super grippy silica tread compound offers excellent all season performance, better tread wear and low rolling resistance for improved fuel economy in a run flat version.
Remember to always replace OE run flat tires with run flats and ensure correct maintenance of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System during the tire changeover. This is because vehicles that come from the factory on run flats do not have a spare tire.
