Hankook show a clear intention to conduct research and development into their tyres by reinvesting about 5% of their total revenue. It may not sound like much, but if you take into account
that Hankook in 2008 had sales of $ 3.7 billion, 5% can get a whole new meaning. Hankook currently sell tyres in 185 countries around the world.
