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.

...The tires I had on before these tires would break traction in the rear, in wet weather on a cambered curve if I had a little too much speed. With these tires the rear tires I have not broken traction on the same curves going the same speeds...
This seems like a good overall tire. The tires aren't too noisy and I feel pretty confident in wet weather. My Merc has standard rear wheel drive so, if I get on it too much in the wet weather it will spin the rear tire. The tires I had on before these tires would break traction in the rear, in wet weather on a cambered curve if I had a little too much speed. With these tires the rear tires I have not broken traction on the same curves going the same speeds. I install winter tires for the winter so, I have no input about how they handle in snow. Have had the tires for a year and so far, they have been a good purchase.

...I had to drive several hours in a recent snow storm and they did surprisingly well! While other cars around me were slipping, I had nice traction with a Prius that had only FWD and these all-season tires!...
After some research on tires that have a low-rolling resistance and provide good MPG, I decided to go with these based on other reviews. So far after over 12,000 miles, these tires are doing great! They get slightly better MPG than my previous Cooper tires that came with my used Prius and are overall much better. They have nice traction and handling for a standard-touring tire on both dry and wet roads. I had to drive several hours in a recent snow storm and they did surprisingly well! While other cars around me were slipping, I had nice traction with a Prius that had only FWD and these all-season tires! It looks like there is barely any tread wear yet, so they look promising for lasting many more miles! Overall, I would recommend these tires to anyone who is look for a basic, yet very reliable tire!

...We just had a decent snowfall back in November here in central PA and these tires handled with pretty good ease.
First time customer with these tires at the first year mark and they very well may be my go-to from now on. Minus some slippage from flood spots recently they have done very well I feel. Tread is still good. I don't know exactly how many miles I have on them, but my mechanic has said nothing to me thus far about having to replace them.

...They're also extremely good on dry roads, don't make much road noise, and ride extremely smoothly...
Got these to replace the factory tires that had become worn out. I wanted something with a high treadlife that was also quiet, comfortable, and capable of handling Indiana winters. This turned out to be perfect for that. We got a fairly brutal snow storm not too long ago, and these tires handled it like champs. I haven't felt this stable on snow in a long time. They're also extremely good on both wet and dry roads, don't make much road noise, and ride extremely smoothly. I used to have a bit of steering vibration on my old tires when getting to 60-70 MPH on the interstate, but that's completely gone with these.

...The handle and tread wear are my favorite...
These are the best tires I have ever purchased. So glad I found them on your site. I have tried so many different brands of tires over the years and have always been disappointed. I will always purchase Yokohama tires from now on. Very impressed all around with this tire. The handle and tread wear are my favorite. It is also a smooth quite ride. When I drive, I drive the car and these tires have met the test. Will purchase the same exact tires again!!
