[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Hankook Tire & Technology has launched the 'Kinergy 4S 2 X,' an SUV tire that provides balanced driving performance all year round, from rainy roads during the monsoon season to snowy roads in winter, on the 21st.

The Kinergy 4S 2 X, part of the Kinergy All Weather product line, is an SUV-specific model of the passenger car tire Kinergy 4S 2, which was released domestically last December. It is an all-season tire that offers excellent performance not only on wet and snowy roads but also on dry surfaces. Notably, it has obtained the '3PMSF' certification, a mandatory mark for winter tires in Europe, ensuring safe driving performance in various winter road conditions.

The tire features wide grooves in the center of the tread to enhance water drainage performance, and a zigzag intersecting V-shaped groove pattern to improve driving performance on snowy roads and handling.

Along with the launch of the SUV tire for the Kinergy 4S 2 series, Hankook Tire has also expanded the size range of the passenger car model up to 19 inches.

Meanwhile, the Kinergy 4S 2 series was first recognized in Europe before being released domestically. In particular, the passenger car model ranked second in the '2020 All-Season Tire Test' conducted by the UK tire specialist media Tire Review.
