Hankook warranty for tires
The short version
Hankook covers tires in full for 1 year, then keeps tire (workmanship and materials) covered to 6 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Hankook's published warranty, checked October 2026.
