[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] SK Networks is introducing an online service that provides tire sizes by entering vehicle license plate numbers for the first time in Korea.


On the 11th, SK Networks announced that TirePick, its online tire shopping mall, will launch a 'license plate-based tire size lookup' service utilizing big data.


Through the newly offered license plate-based search service by TirePick, customers can check the tire size suitable for their vehicle simply by entering the license plate number and owner information, and also receive recommendations for various tires of that size sold by TirePick.

A TirePick representative stated, "It has been pointed out that the biggest inconvenience in the online tire purchasing process so far is that general drivers do not properly know their vehicle's tire size," adding, "This service will reduce the effort customers need to check tire sizes themselves and significantly decrease cases of returns due to size ordering errors and the associated return shipping costs."


To commemorate the launch of the license plate-based tire size lookup feature, TirePick will give KakaoTalk TirePick character emoticons to customers who use the service. Furthermore, TirePick plans to continuously discover new services to lower the entry barriers for online tire purchases and strive to offer a variety of products at competitive prices.



TirePick is an online tire shopping mall that debuted in July last year with the slogan "TirePick when you're tired." It has gained positive responses by providing a user-friendly purchasing process that allows customers to easily and enjoyably select and replace tires, along with additional benefits such as 30-day free exchanges and maintenance discounts.
