The Kinergy GT is Hankook's Grand Touring All-Season tire originally developed for Original Equipment use on vehicles from Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Volkswagen. It is designed to provide a quiet and comfortable driving experience combined with traction in all weather conditions, even light snow.
The Kinergy GT molds a silica-infused, all-season compound into a symmetric, five-rib tread pattern. The rigid center rib aids traction for acceleration and braking performance, and the high-modulus bead filler increases sidewall stiffness for responsive steering. The high-grip silica tread compound delivers wet traction, while wide lateral notches and four circumferential grooves evacuate water from beneath the contact patch for increased hydroplaning resistance. Multiple tread sipes feature chamfered edges to maximize contact area on slippery surfaces, providing confident all-season traction.
Internal construction of the Kinergy GT features two wide, steel belts with a full-width nylon reinforcement (in most sizes) for improved handling, durability and high-speed stability. A body casing made from polyester cord helps manage the trade-off between handling and comfort, while the strong, jointless bead wire enhances uniformity for a smoother ride.
El neumático Kinergy GT de Hankook, perteneciente a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación, fue desarrollado originalmente (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) para vehículos Honda, Hyundai, Kia y Volkswagen. Su diseño proporciona una experiencia de conducción tranquila y confortable, combinada con tracción durante las cuatro estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve durante el invierno.
El compuesto de caucho para toda estación infundido con sílice, posee un patrón simétrico con cinco segmentos. Un segmento central rígido ayuda el rendimiento del frenado y la aceleración, mientras que rellenos más altos en la pared del neumático aumenta la rigidez para obtener una respuesta más precisa al girar el volante. El sílice de agarre fuerte en el compuesto de caucho proporciona tracción sobre superficies mojadas, mientras que hendiduras laterales anchas y cuatro canales circunferenciales, evacuan el agua del área de contacto con la carretera, para aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Ranuras múltiples sobre los bloques poseen bordes biselados, para maximizar el contacto sobre superficies resbalosas y aumentar la confianza en la tracción durante todas las estaciones del año.
La estructura interna del Kinergy GT posee dos correas de acero anchas con una capa de refuerzo de nailon por todo lo ancho (en la mayoría de tamaños), para mejorar la maniobrabilidad, durabilidad y estabilidad a velocidades elevadas. Una estructura de cordón de poliéster permite un balance entre maniobrabilidad y confort, mientras que el alambre de aro fuerte y sin juntas, mejora la uniformidad, para así, obtener un andar parejo.

The wet traction is excellent, as I discovered when a major thunderstorm dumped a lot of water on the highway.
The Miata came with 17-inch wheels, so until I replace them with 15-inch wheels, I got these Yokohama tires to use for street and some track driving. At 300 TW, they are not as sticky as a 200 TW obviously, but I am quite happy with the tire's overall performance. On track, the tires are better than I expected and very predictable. When traction breaks, the tires simply slide, with no tendency to 'snap' unexpectedly.
The wet traction is excellent, as I discovered when a major thunderstorm dumped a lot of water on the highway. On public roads, tire noise is insignificant even with the top down, and no complaints with the ride. The wear rate suggests that I won't get more than 2 seasons out of them, but as the car is tracked, that has to be factored into the tread life.

...Great in the rain as well. Stable, unless in hitting a massive puddlenever hydroplaned on standing water.
Absolutely amazing tires. In the dry miata is super stable. On/off ramps will make you giggle with how much grip get. Bit noisey but being a miata not much to dampen the sound. Great in the rain as well. Stable, unless in hitting a massive puddle never hydroplaned on standing water.

...Dry traction and braking are superb, and wet-weather traction and braking are good...
In mid-2025, I purchased my second full set of 195/50-15 Yokohama ADVAN Fleva V701 tires for my 1988 Honda CRX-Si. The first set lasted four years and more than 48,000 miles of often spirited driving. They didn't actually wear out, but I decided that they were old enough for replacement. Dry traction and braking are superb, and wet-weather traction and braking are good. The ride quality is firm and responsive, which I prefer.

...Quiet, comfortable and very good grip/handling...
First, this is a great all around Summer tire. Quiet, comfortable and very good grip/ handling. It’s great for a light car and size availability trends toward smaller sizes. It’s not a 200 tw racing tire, it’s not an all season tire. It does do Summer fun car very well.

Treadwear earns mostly 9s and 10s, with customers praising durability in summer conditions. A few lower scores (0-6) note concerns, but overall longevity aligns well with ultra-high performance expectations.
