Winter is just around the corner and for many motorists that means the annual tire change. But not for everyone, because the all-season tire is gaining popularity and is certainly not a compromise. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 proves this time and again in independent tire tests. The SUV version, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 X, came out as a convincing winner in a recent test by Auto Bild Allrad magazine (10-2021 issue).
Is it possible to develop a tire that provides maximum safety, grip and driving pleasure in all weather conditions? Hankook proves it, with the Kinergy 4S and the Kinergy 4S2 X specially developed for the SUV. The Kinergy 4S already achieved top marks in various tests in 2020, now the Kinergy 4S2 X also receives that honor by finishing as the winner. The magazine described it as follows: ‘It really does exist, that one tire that offers you safety in all weather conditions.’ The engineers at Hankook couldn’t ask for a better compliment.
V-shaped tread pattern offers optimal grip
“We are delighted that the Kinergy 4S2 and the SUV version, the Kinergy 4S2 X, have convinced judges across the board in independent testing by European trade journals. The tire’s properties speak for themselves: the V-shaped tread pattern and the very latest rubber compound made from natural oils, offers stable and safe driving on wet and dry surfaces, precise steering and high resistance to aquaplaning,” confirms Klaus Krause, head of Hankook’s European Research and Development Centre.

Make the last tire change this year
As the popular SUV and crossover combine several vehicle types, the Kinergy 4S2 X is the perfect symbiosis of a summer and winter tire especially for this vehicle category. In addition to all safety-related features, the design team also emphasized the lowest possible rolling resistance and a low noise level. All this has resulted in a four-season tire that excels in all areas, which is further emphasized by this test victory. Make the upcoming tire change the last one and switch to the Hankook Kinergy 4S or the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 X.
