Hankook Tire Supplies New Tires for '2020 Ford Super Duty Chassis Cab'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Tire & Technology (hereinafter Hankook Tire) announced on the 18th that it will supply the ‘Smart Flex’ AH35 and DH35 tires as original equipment tires for the F450 and F550 models of the ‘2020 Ford Super Duty Chassis Cab,’ a commercial truck from the American automaker Ford.

The Smart Flex AH35 and DH35 are truck and bus tires featuring specially designed treads that provide low rolling resistance and excellent driving performance. Both products have proven their outstanding design value by winning the main prize in the Product Design category at the 'Red Dot Design Award 2016,' one of the world's top three design awards.

The Smart Flex AH35 is characterized by the application of multi 3D sipes on the tread to enhance grip. To improve drainage performance and minimize hydroplaning, a wave-shaped groove is placed in the center of the tread, while straight grooves are arranged on the outer sides. The high-rigidity tread blocks increase fuel efficiency, and a special tread pattern ensures even tire wear. The Smart Flex DH35 is designed with zigzag grooves crossing the entire surface of the wide tread, improving mileage and providing excellent driving performance across various road conditions.

Hankook Tire, which has maintained a cooperative relationship with Ford since 1999, supplies original equipment tires for Ford’s large pickup truck ‘F-150,’ mid-size pickup truck ‘All-New Ranger,’ CUV ‘Focus Active,’ and commercial wagon ‘Econoline.’ Hankook Tire plans to further strengthen its premium brand status by continuously enhancing quality competitiveness through ongoing R&D technological innovation.
