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.

...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 confidenton 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.

...Live in Colorado so we see a fair amount of winter weather. These tires perform amazing even without studding them. I chose them thinking I might install the studs, no need...
I have been in the service side of automotive for over 15 years combined. I have the ability to mount and balance my own tires so I picked them up at the distribution center in my city. Great price with a great discount for picking them up. Live in Colorado so we see a fair amount of winter weather. These tires perform amazing even without studding them. I chose them thinking I might install the studs, no need. Installed these on my kids car but I have put about 4k miles on before I give it to them. Definitely would buy these again.

...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.

I have not been in a deeper snow to know how they act with the AWD but they sure do last a long time... I have had them in light snow/slush and they were fine...that said we never got more than 3" of snow this year...
I got these on a 2023 Ford maverick that had the tires replaced at 23K miles. These were the replacements. now had 37K on it.. When I bought this these were on it. I figured they were the original tires till I saw the CarFax and saw changed out at 23K. I had planned on when they wore out changing them over to a A/T type tire.. thing is... they just dont/wont wear out lol.. So far for a "regular car tire" in a all season they are pretty good/solid tire.
I do think I will end up changing to the A/T when these wear out.. however so far they have been fine. I have not been in a deeper snow to know how they act with the AWD but they sure do last a long time, and have a good on road/rain/dry traction, dont make noise, and have good treadwear. I have had them in light snow/slush and they were fine...that said we never got more than 3" of snow this year...They may not be a truck A/T tire with the little mountain/snowflake emblem for severe snow ratings(and thats what I run for trips back near Buffalo NY) but for a general all season passenger tire id get them again no problems.

These are the best tires that I have used on my vehicle. First they look really good and more importantly they provide solid performance in driving and stopping. I've had them a short time, so I can't attest to their wear - but so far looks good. I just plain like them.

...I put these on my commuter car and they are good comfort, quiet, good response...
So far so good. I haven’t had these brand of tires for a while and when I bought them before they were the performance versions and not touring. However I still believe the value for money is incredible here. I put these on my commuter car and they are great. Good comfort, quiet, good response. Can’t ask for much more out of what I’m using them for.

Only a few tire rotations into the use of this tire, but all is good so far!...
Only a few tire rotations into the use of this tire, but all is good so far! My front wheels will not grip perfectly on an uphill incline turning the wheel and accelerating, but I feel that is mostly by car design not the actually tire. I would recommend this tire for price, durability, comfort and treadwear.

...At 55K miles they are at 3/32. I'll squeeze 2-3,000 more out of them before my winter tires go on...
These came stock on my 2017 Sonata and I wasn't expecting much, but wow I am impressed. At 55K miles they are at 3/32". I'll squeeze 2-3,000 more out of them before my winter tires go on. The only time I was unhappy with these tires was in snow, but they aren't snow tires, so that was to be expected. I am very impressed with these Hankooks.
