Hankook Tyre UK to sponsor ‘Best of the Best’ Truck Show and extend partnership with Devon and Cornwall Truck Shows in 2025

Daventry, UK - 6th May 2025 – Premium tyre manufacturer Hankook announces official partnership with three major UK trucking events: ‘Devon Truck Show’ on 23rd- 25th May at Smeathorpe Stadium, Honiton, ‘The Truck Show Cornwall’, now at its new location in Nanskival, St Mawgan, on 19th-20th July, and ‘Best of the Best’ Truck Show at Westpoint Arena, Exeter, on 13th-14th September. Celebrating the best in commercial transport solutions, these events will showcase top-tier commercial vehicles across the UK and Europe. Hankook will showcase its innovative range of truck tyres, engineered with cutting-edge 3D technologies for superior wet grip and traction in all weather conditions, maintaining performance throughout the tyre's lifespan.

The Hankook truck tyre lineup on display will feature the 22.5" SmartFlex AH51 (steer) and SmartFlex DH51 (drive), renowned for their exceptional grip and mileage performance from the first to the last millimetre of wear, the SmartFlex TH31, its latest generation trailer tyre, and Hankook’s newest van tyre, the Vantra Transit- a summer tyre designed for commercial vans and transporters. Alongside the Hankook range, the company will be presenting three tyres from its Laufenn brand: the LZ22, an all-weather drive tyre optimised for superior traction and mileage in regional applications; the LF21, an all-position tyre offering exceptional wear resistance for regional use; and the LF95, a robust trailer tyre known for its high durability and mileage. Also on display will be the Dynapro HP2, a premium all-season tyre designed for SUVs, and the iON evo SUV summer tyre, engineered exclusively for electric vehicles. 

In addition to being the main event sponsor, Hankook will proudly sponsor the ‘Best Truck’ and ‘Best Van’ award categories. Open to all drivers showcasing their vehicle at the events, these awards celebrate owners and operators who exceed road and industry standards in vehicle and tyre maintenance and safety.

Jon Cottrell, Hankook Tyre UK TBR Sales Manager said, “The team at Hankook looks forward to attending these key events as they offer a valuable opportunity to connect directly with truck owners, drivers and enthusiasts who share our passion for the industry. We are proud to support the event, showcase our range of tyres and have interesting conversations about real-world performance with those who know it best.
