The Kinergy ST is Hankook's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of family sedans, crossovers, coupes and minivans who want a balanced blend of performance combined with long tread life. The Kinergy ST was designed to deliver a smooth and quiet ride along with confident traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even light snow.
Utilizing an abrasion-resistant all-season compound provides durability, and the symmetric pattern of the Kinergy ST allows for easy rotation patterns to resist irregular wear and prolong tire life. A coupled center rib and tie bars in the outboard grooves help stabilize the tread for enhanced rigidity and responsive handling. The optimized pitch sequence is designed to reduce tread noise, and the independent tread blocks and sipes create multiple biting edges for traction in slippery conditions. Open shoulder slots and deep, circumferential grooves help evacuate water from the contact patch for hydroplaning resistance, and wide, lateral notches combine with the optimized sipes to provide wet braking performance and light snow traction.
Internal construction of the Kinergy ST consists of a two-ply, polyester casing to aid ride comfort and durability, with two wide, steel belts stabilizing the tread. A full-width, nylon cap ply provides high-speed capability. High-stiffness bead filler delivers sharp steering response, and the strong, jointless bead wire enhances uniformity for a smooth ride.
El neumático Kinergy ST de Hankook pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Estándar Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores de sedanes familiares, utiliautos (crossovers), cupé y minivans, que desean una combinación balanceada de rendimiento con un desgaste lento. El diseño del Kinergy ST ofrece un andar parejo y silencioso, al mismo tiempo que una tracción confiable sobre superficies secas, mojadas y en condiciones invernales, inclusive con poca nieve.
El Kinergy ST utiliza un compuesto de caucho para toda temporada resistente a la abrasión, lo cual, proporciona durabilidad. Su patrón simétrico permite una rotación sencilla que ayuda a resistir el desgaste irregular y prolongar el ciclo de vida del neumático. Un segmento central con elementos conectados y barras de unión en las ranuras ubicadas en la parte externa, ayudan a estabilizar la huella para aumentar la rigidez y la respuesta. La secuencia optimizada del tono ha sido diseñada para reducir el ruido, mientras que, bloques independientes y pequeñas ranuras en sus superficies, crean múltiples bordes adherentes para obtener mayor tracción sobre superficies resbalosas. Ranuras en los hombros y canales circunferenciales profundos ayudan a evacuar el agua del área de contacto y resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), ranuras anchas laterales combinadas con pequeñas ranuras optimizadas sobre la superficie, proporcionan un mejor frenado sobre mojado y tracción sobre poca nieve.
La construcción interna del Kinergy ST cuenta con una estructura de dos capas de poliéster que ayudan con el confort y la durabilidad, además, dos correas anchas de acero estabilizan la huella. Una capa ancha de nailon proporciona capacidad para rodar a velocidades elevadas, mientras que, refuerzos en el área del talón o alambre de aro aumentan la rigidez para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante. Los alambres del aro fuertes y sin juntas mejoran la uniformidad parar ofrecer un andar más parejo.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Most customers rate wet traction highly with scores 8-10, noting confident grip and hydroplaning resistance. While a few lower scores (4-6) indicate occasional concerns, the Kinergy ST delivers reliable wet performance expected of all-season touring tires.
...And wet traction and hydroplaning resistance was excellent all the way to the end!
Some of the best all-around tires I have had. Surprisingly quiet and smooth ride for a 70K mileage rating. Traction and cornering a bit greasy especially when cold but more than acceptable for 70K tires. Pleasantly communicative closer to the limit with gentle and predictable break-away. After 50K miles road noise got a little louder but not excessively. And wet traction and hydroplaning resistance was excellent all the way to the end!

...Feel very confident on the road in dry and wet conditions... I don't really make it a point to drive through heavy snow, so I cannot comment on that but as far as wet traction and in light snow and on dry roads these are great...
These tires have been nothing less than great for our minivan. Much quieter than the the tires we replaced for these. Mostly city driving. Feel very confident on the road in dry and wet conditions. We got a few snow events after getting these installed last year and they handled light snow greatly. I don't really make it a point to drive through heavy snow, so I cannot comment on that but as far as wet traction and light snow go and dry roads these are great. I'm actually going to replace my tires on my car with the same ones when I get to the point where I need to.

Winter traction scores for the Kinergy ST are mostly 7-10 in snow, with many customers praising its capability. Some report lower ice traction, but overall performance suits all-season needs.
...I also just managed a very successful trek through snow and ice that had dozens of cars completely immobilized. The Hankooks did slip on occasion, but they were quite grippy for an all-season...
These are still brand new to me, but I am impressed. These Hankook tires do better than average in dry and wet traction. I also just managed a very successful trek through snow and ice that had dozens of cars completely immobilized. The Hankooks did slip on occasion, but they were quite grippy for an all-season tire.
The Kenergy feels fairly nimble for a T rated standard touring tire. Not as quiet and plush as the Michelin Defender Green-X tires I replaced, but then again those Michelins were TERRIBLE in snow, and pretty bad in rain too.
For the price point, I think Hankook did a great job with these Kenergy STs.

Very well designed tread pattern, holds grip in the snow great. I drive over a small mountain pass daily and can hit sunny, rainy, icy, snow and deep snow all in an hour and a half drive. These tires work very well for my daily commute...
Very well designed tread pattern, holds grip in the snow great. I drive over a small mountain pass daily and can hit sunny, rainy, icy, snow and deep snow all in an hour and a half drive. These tires work very well for my daily commute. I am running them on my "winter beater", but I would put them on any of my other cars. I am fortunate enough to be able to mount and balance them myself without needing to involve a tire store, so for me saving a ton of money picking them up at the warehouse makes these a huge value for the great tire I chose.

...The tires are very comfortable and handle well...
I had a blow out on one of the tires this morning. the sidewall gave out. I just ordered two new one to replace the failed tire. The tires are very comfortable and handle well. I recommend them, they are comparable to the Michelins I used to run. they don't make my size anymore (175/70R13)

...On the tires, good blend of traction, wear, and noise...
bought these tires for an 01 S10 pickup, very pleased. Love the option of using Tire Rack to pick out the tires I want, and not settling for what a store has. Great service, delivery speed etc. On the tires, good blend of traction, wear, and noise. I have a bought a few good sets of tires in my years, and these are in the team photo of one of the better ones.

...The ride is nice with very little noise...
I want a nice ride tire with good wear life. I use the car mostly as fair weather to go to work. It travel down gravel roads and backs was fine and very smooth out on the high way. I have used in snow a few times and it works if you take it easy. 1-2 inchs in to a problem but anything more then 4 inch you need be more careful or dive a little more aggressively so do not get stuck. For non snow rated tire on a 4 door car it do really well. The ride is nice with very little noise. They have also held up to run over a few unseen object is road way with out get a flat. I would it better then average tire.

Most customers give the Hankook Kinergy ST treadwear scores of 9-10, praising its long-lasting performance. While a few lower scores exist, the majority highlight excellent tread life for all-season touring use.
So far at 8500 miles, tires still look near new. These tires are rated 700 for mileage and AA for traction and temperature resistance, both high ratings for such economical tires...
So far at 8500 miles, tires still look near new. These tires are rated 700 for mileage and AA for traction and temperature resistance, both high ratings for such economical tires. These tires are comparable to expensive Bridgestone tires I had previously at 30% lower price, IMHO.

...I have used these year round and the white walls hold up nicely to road conditions...
Great tires at a great value. I needed a set of white wall tires for my classic Ford Thunderbird. These are a perfect fit for my 1966. They look great and perform very well in all conditions. I have used these year round and the white walls hold up nicely to road conditions. Would definitely recommend and purchase again.
