I never buy Korean products, not because I'm racist, but because everytime i give in and buy one its faulty or breaks easy, and then i just have to go out and buy Japanese/American. Good example, my friend bought a samsung phone a year ago, and now it's broken. my Sony Ericsson is going on 2 years.
Woah now, that's a horrible example imo. Samsung has been a leading global company in electronics for a while now and it's very well received for among consumers. I can care less whether you buy Korean products or not but just because your friend bought a Samsung phone doesn't justify to lump Hankook and Samsung together as a company churning out shitty products.

Most of my phones have always been samsung and they've all been great.

All better IMO than my Motorolas but that's just personal preference. I also have Samsung TV's which are very nice.

Samsung and Hankook are not the same company nor do they even make the same types of products or are in the same industry.

Let's try to stick with examples from actual experience pertaining to these particular brand of tires rather than nothing informative.

Samsung DVD player broke, Samsung Mp3 player, broke, etc etc so on and so forth. I don't know anybody with a Samsung that enjoys it. Another friend of mines dad bought a big screen Samsung, that thing has horrible input lag, couldn't play fighting games on it at all. My Panasonic Plasma is worlds better.

Leading global electronics company, that has failed time and time again to impress me. I don't hate either company, I'm just saying they've always failed to impress me, and I don't mind paying a few extra dollars to pick a brand that never fails to live up to my expectations.

For the record no I haven't bought Hankook, because I've been satisfied with my bridgestones, and again, a few extra dollars doesn't bother me, when over the life of the tire it comes out to pennies on the mile.

So, do I have to buy tires from Apple? Because their iPad work very well
