Hankook is going to make a bid according to an article in Barron's. Shares up 67% in a year, 1 billion in new investments coming, their tires being used in the US by at least 3 manufacturers. They are buying market share with low prices now, but not for long is the hope. The world is changing in F1 as everywhere else.....
Interesting, I remember when I put Hankooks on my Mustang in high school after a few too many burnouts/slides because they were pieces of crap but cheap.
