Hankook Optimo H725 Tire: Overview

The Hankook Optimo H725 is a popular choice for many drivers. It is an all-season tire that provides good traction in wet and dry conditions. The tire is also very quiet and has a comfortable ride.

The unique symmetric tread design with a notched center rib provides excellent stability and year-round traction. The silent tread pattern reduces road noise levels, resulting in a more comfortable ride.
