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.

...They work particularly well in the rain...
My first choice has always been the Avons, but due to ridiculous pricing, and my past experience with the Hankooks, I gave them a try. I have been very happy with them. They work particularly well in the rain. I've also tried the BFG T/A's. The Hankooks are far superior, and have much better steering feel. The price is amazing, and will last my lifetime for milage!

...I had my doubts that they would be OK in winter conditions, but to my surprise, they actually performed quite well. Traction is plentiful, and a steady foot allows them to grip even in decent snow. Put your foot down and the tires happily grab any snow and fling it from your way...
Bought these because they were one of the few white letter options that would fit my Corvette before the snow hit. I had my doubts that they would be OK in winter conditions, but to my surprise, they actually performed quite well. Traction is plentiful, and a steady foot allows them to grip even in decent snow. Put your foot down and the tires happily grab any snow and fling it from your way. They’ve worn fairly well so far, and if I wasn’t considering changing tire sizes, I would consider getting them again once these tires expire.

...I had the opportunity to test in light snow conditions at the end of last season and the beginning of this season. I wanted to like it in snow but it just did not do the trick for me. This is a FWD Volvo XC70 and there was just not enough traction...
Love this tire. Comfortable, smooth riding and long treadwear. I had the opportunity to test in light snow conditions at the end of last season and the beginning of this season. I wanted to like it in snow but it just did not do the trick for me. This is a FWD Volvo XC70 and there was just not enough traction. I was going to purchase winter tires but ended up getting another XC70 with AWD. Keeping both cars, one for winter, one for summer.

...they sure do last a long time, and have a good on road/rain/ dry traction, dont make noise, and have good treadwear...
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.
