As of the end of 2013, Hankook had 3,400 dealer image stores in the Chinese market, an increase of about 800 compared to 2012. Quan Hezheng revealed to the China Netcom that in 2014, Hankook will increase its dealership image store in the Chinese market by about 1,000. The mid- to high-end tire brands whose main competitors in China are from Japan and Europe have apparently lagged behind Hantai in the distribution of dealer image stores.

They are the K117, which is a high-end sport, and the H452, which is the main driving force, and the main environmental protection and energy-saving. H308 is expected that the above tires will still focus on the OE support of auto makers, and will also be retailed by thousands of Hankook distributors in China. In addition, in April Hankook will also provide a TBR product, which is to provide tires for heavy vehicles in the mine.
