    WAYNE, N.J. (Nov. 23, 2015) — Hankook Tire Co. Ltd. has been selected as an original equipment supplier for the 2016 Lincoln MKX.

    The tire maker's 20-inch ultra-high-performance all season Ventus S1 noble2 supplied for the MKX, in size 245/50R20, was developed for drivers seeking a comfortable driving experience, according to the company's Wayne-based Hankook Tire America Corp. subsidiary.

    The tire features an asymmetric four channel rib design to provide efficient water evacuation while an advanced silica rubber compound offers enhanced wet and dry handling, braking and lower rolling resistance along with higher durability for increased performance and control.

    “The consistent and solid growth of Hankook Tire's increasing presence in OE supply for premium brands such as Lincoln demonstrates the confidence in product quality and leading technologies of our products,” said Seung Hwa Suh, vice chairman and CEO for Hankook Tire Co.

    “We are pleased with our most recent OE contract for the MKX and look forward to consolidating further partnership with the Lincoln brand going forward — a relationship that began in 2008 with Hankook Tire supplying OE products for Lincoln vehicles.”

    Hankook's new OE pact marks its fourth fitment for Ford's premium Lincoln brand following previous Hankook fitments for the MKT, MKZ and Navigator.
