If you compare the sidewall writing (on the ones manufactured by michelin) the sidewall writing, (tire size, etc...) is identical to a michelin.
Hankook has been a tire manufacturer since the early 50's, I believe. They started in Korea as a tire manufacturer then. It wasn't until the early 2000's that they started making their tire under the Michelin name. So basically, the Michelin's are rebranded Hankooks. A little tire knowledge for you. Later, QD.
