HOW TO PURCHASE TIRES:

PLEASE NOTE: Tires must  be ordered directly from Hankook Motorsports AND AN ACCOUNT CREATED BY HANKOOK IS REQUIRED FIRST.

1) Register for your desired Lucky Dog race via the Raceday online registration system.

2) Forward a copy of your Raceday receipt to Lucky@HankookMotorsports.com, who will create a Hankook Motorsports Tire account for you & forward an account invitation email for you to complete.

3) With your account credentials, you'll be able to access www.LuckyHankook.com & place your tire order. UPDATE 7/31/2024: Due to the incredibly low prices offered to Lucky Dog teams, Hankook Korea is receiving pressure for their dealer network and the www.LuckyHankook.com website is now password-protected to prevent the public display of special LDRL pricing. Use code "lucky" (all lower-case).

4) Any tire or order questions should be directed to Lucky@HankookMotorsports.com or 800-287-5013

SHIPPING POLICY: For guaranteed sizes, your tires are usually ready to ship the next day. If not, Hankook will contact you within 24 hours of placing your order and let you know what the estimated ship date will be. Standard shipping is UPS ground. Freight shipping to a commercial warehouse address is available for 6+ sets. UPDATE 1/1/2021: Due to COVID-19 & the impact on shipping/freight providers, we recommend that you order tires ASAP and no later than 2 to 3 weeks prior to the event. For coordinated quantity/group buys using a freight carrier, allow additional time.

TIRE MOUNTING: Most teams currently work with online tire distributors with deliveries directly to you or a local tire installer of choice for mounting. This program works the same way and we are also establishing a network of LDRL preferred tire installers who will mount and balance your tires at a fixed cost. Locations will be added as they become available (most West Coast corporate & independent tire centers will mount Hankooks not purchased from them, of course without warranty as a race-use tire). If you have any questions regarding this or would like to become a preferred installer, please contact us at info@RaceLucky.com.

HANKOOK DOESN’T MAKE MY SIZE TIRE: Tire sizes and measurements are subjective and not all tires are measured the same way. LDRL has made sure that Hankook has a size in the Ventus R-S4 tire that will support 95% of the cars running in the series. Please contact the experts at Hankook Motorsports to get the correct tire size/measurements for your vehicle as there. (For example, the R-S4 195/50/15 measures out to the same dimensions as a 205/50/15 from other manufacturers.)  

HANKOOKS PURCHASED ELSEWHERE: All tires must be purchased directly from Hankook Motorsports by the team that is running them in the series. The sale and use of tires purchased from other sources including but not limited to Lucky Dog Teams is
prohibited and is a violation of the program. Any marked LDRL R-S4 tires that are
sold must be marked on the sidewall with “TESTING PURPOSES ONLY.” 

PODIUM WITHOUT HANKOOK MOTORSPORTS COMPETITION TIRES: Teams not running LRDL marked tires purchased directly through this Hankook Motorsports program (for whatever reason) are not eligible for podium finishes or contingency tires (in this case, the next podium winner will receive these tires). EXCEPTIONS: Documented proof that ordered Hankook Motorsports tires did not arrive because of conditions beyond your control (and approved by LDRL management). It is your responsibility to order tires in advance at least two to three weeks prior to the event per the program guidelines.  

WHAT’S EXPECTED OF TEAMS AT ALL RACES STARTING JANUARY 1, 2020:

• All cars are required to run an unmodified horizontal Hankook banner decal (provided) at the top of the windshield
• All cars are required to run Hankook decals (provided) above each wheel well
• All other tire manufacture decals must be covered or removed prior to Tech Inspection
• All cars must come through Technical Inspection with race tires mounted & decals applied
