The FIA has selected the Korean tyre firm as the successful candidate after launching a tender process in July this year for a period covering 2025-2027.
Hankook will take over the supply of tyres to the WRC from Pirelli, who won the previous tender that expires at the end of next season, its last of a four-year tender. The Italian company elected against submitting a bid to continue its involvement in the WRC.
"The WMSC has approved the recommendation of the WRC Commission to appoint Hankook as the official tyre partner and supplier to the FIA World Rally Championship for a three-year deal starting in 2025," read a statement from the FIA.
"This decision follows a detailed tendering process launched by the FIA in July based on criteria such as the supplier’s capabilities, sustainability, technical quality, cost per tyre and marketing. Hankook will replace Pirelli whose WRC single supplier deal will conclude at the end of the 2024 campaign."
