Hankook is completing its high-end original equipment range with Bayerische Motoren Werke by providing the tyres for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo. Among other models, #hankook already provides both UHP summer and winter tyres for the BMW 7 Series. The BMW group’s new Gran Turismo will now also be delivered with Ventus S1 evo 2 ultra-high performance (UHP) run-flat #summertyres. The tyres were developed in Hanover and are produced at the company’s sophisticated European factory in Hungary.

Neu-Isenburg/Germany, September 26, 2018 – A comfortable driving experience combined with dynamic, sporty characteristics are the key features of the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, combining both functionality and luxury. Its outstanding features are supported, among others, by factory-fitted #hankook UHP Ventus S1 evo 2 tyres. With special run-flat sizes of 245/45 R19 98Y RSC for the front axle and 275/40 R19 101Y RSC for the rear axle, the multiple award-winning #summertyres provide the right grip on dry as well as wet roads. The exceptional combination of a coupé silhouette with the space and equipment of a luxury-class saloon sedan means that the tyres not only have to provide adequate comfort, but must also be able to carry high loads, should the maximum trunk volume of up to 1,800 liters be used.

In addition to the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo and the luxury sedan BMW 7 Series, #hankook currently supplies a total of 11 models of the long-established Bavarian company. Some of the BMW X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 cars, the BMW 2 series Active Tourer as well as the BMW 4 and 5 series, also roll off the assembly line on #hankook tyres. #hankook has, thus, been able to significantly expand its original equipment business when compared to previous years. The cooperation with the BMW Group has been in place since 2011. It includes the supply of passenger car and SUV tyres, from the summer, winter and all-weather segment to sports tyres.
