Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 30th June 2026 - Strategically, the line of Laufenn truck and bus tyres are marketed as a wise initial choice for smaller fleet partners, as well as budget-conscious owner-operators looking for reliable quality. The product lines are designed to further strengthen Laufenn and the synergies with the Hankook brand.
“Our Laufenn truck and bus radial tyres offer the UK market an excellent valuable addition to Hankook’s overall product portfolio,” says Jon Cottrell, TBR Sales Manager for Hankook Tyre UK. “It helps us to demonstrate to our customers that Hankook is a premium tyre maker, able to offer a full and comprehensive product range, and therefore strengthen our position as a tyre solution provider.” Paul Emery, Sales Director of the UK adds: “To us this is a unique opportunity – by offering an additional truck and bus tyre brand for commercial use, we also substantiate the development of Hankook’s TBR offer into a striving, full-service, premium brand with all its associated technological innovations.”
The Laufenn truck and bus tyre line-up are products for regional haul use, last mile delivery, public transport and construction traffic. All patterns are regroovable and retreadable with a deep original tread to deliver a good mileage performance. With proven casing technology and the necessary tread compound know-how, the tread patterns cover most of the market needs, of which 80% carry the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
The Laufenn range includes tread designs for regional haul, construction, material handling, and urban / commuting bus services:
The regional haul treads cover Truck, Trailer and Bus needs. The two steer tyres, Laufenn LF21 for regional to longer driving distances, and LF22 for regional hauling, accommodate a wide range of vehicles, ensuring they are well equipped and profiting from excellent durability, among other advantages. The Laufenn LZ22 serves as a drive axle tyre for regional haul application, offering a robust tread compound for long tyre life and even wear. Laufenn LF90, LF91 and LF95+ fit the purposes of regional haul trailer tyres in different sizes, all engineered for high durability and mileage.
The On & Off road application range of Laufenn truck tyres covers the needs of customers who frequently serve construction sites with their fleet. Therefore, the all position Laufenn tyres LR01 and LR02 both offer the necessary heavy-duty endurance to withstand different levels of ground condition-induced stress. Laufenn LR53 teams up with the LR01 and LR02 as a reliable drive axle tyre with good chip and cut resistance and ability to withstand the demands for On & Off road application.
For urban areas there is a multi-purpose all position tyre especially for city traffic. The LF60 provides high wet grip, side wall protection, and low noise levels especially for urban bus traffic.
