Hankook Tire Supplies Original Equipment Tires for GM Pickup Trucks

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Tire & Technology (hereinafter Hankook Tire) announced on the 23rd that it will supply the off-road dedicated tire with optimal driving power, ‘Dynapro MT2,’ as original equipment tires for GM’s 2021 pickup truck models ‘Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty’ and ‘GMC Sierra Heavy Duty.’

GM’s flagship pickup trucks, the ‘Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty’ and the ‘GMC Sierra Heavy Duty,’ are sibling models sharing the same platform. They are traditional pickup trucks that have been loved in North America for a long time, based on powerful engine performance and durability.

The ‘Dynapro MT2’ from the ‘Dynapro Extreme Terrain’ product line, supplied as original equipment tires this time, delivers outstanding grip performance and excellent driving power, demonstrating top performance off-road by powerfully conquering steep rough roads. In particular, V-shaped protruding rubber blocks are applied at the junction between the tread edges and the sidewalls, providing a robust and striking exterior design along with powerful driving performance.

Additionally, bumper protectors are applied to the sidewalls to further enhance resistance to external impacts during driving, and grooves are designed to quickly discharge mud and stones. Moreover, the optimized tread block design offers a stable ride not only off-road but also on-road.

Meanwhile, Hankook Tire has maintained a cooperative relationship with GM since 2002. It supplies original equipment tires for Chevrolet models such as ‘Malibu,’ ‘Equinox,’ ‘Spark,’ ‘Sonic,’ and ‘Trailblazer,’ GMC’s ‘Terrain,’ and Buick’s ‘Encore.’ Hankook Tire plans to further strengthen its premium brand status by continuously improving quality competitiveness through ongoing R&D technological innovation.
