Do US Spec Hankooks got a ECE Sign?
Since nobody answered @ the Tire Section... Maybe a User here ordered a Pair of Hankooks over Tirerack and would take a look at their Tires if they got the E / ECE Sign. That would help me a lot! Thanks!!

I don't know Marco. But when visiting a buddy of mine last month back in the states... he was raving about his Conti all season tires on his Audi RS4. When I looked at the sidewall... I had a good laugh.... "made in Czech Republic"!!! So the US Conti Sport Contact 3(?) tires are rebadged "Barum" tires - Conti's (cheaper) sister company!
I think a lot of stuff sold in the US isn't the same as things sold and made in Germany. The product might look the same, but it is not the same product! Sometimes that really cheap US market product - there IS a reason why its cheaper in the US market vs German market. And sometimes not. You just have to be careful when buying things.

Hey comar, I hope I'm not too late. I got a set of Hankook V12s by mail last year not from tire rack but some shop in California. I just checked and they do have the K and E4 symbols like in the image u posted. BTW, mine are made in Korea! |

Just because something is made in Mexico or CZ doesn't automatically mean the quality is bad. A well run company can manufacture good parts in any country.

Very true. They also have some of the best medical schools in the world. That is where my former brother in law went to finish his medical school at.
