Hankook Tire Launches New All-Season Tire Model

Hankook Tire & Technology announced that it will launch the all-season balance tire ‘Kinergy ST AS’ in the domestic market on the 21st.

Kinergy is the company’s comfort tire brand, and the new product is the successor to the currently sold Kinergy EX. It is available in 46 sizes ranging from 14 to 19 inches. The tire is designed to balance performance, durability, and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for all-season driving.

The company stated that the width of the blocks in the center of the tread (the tire surface in contact with the ground) was expanded and the lateral stiffness of the pattern was increased to provide stable handling performance on various road conditions. The distance between the tire surfaces was reduced to facilitate drainage, and technology that maintains flexibility at low temperatures was applied to improve driving performance on snowy roads. Technologies to reduce impact, noise, and wear were also applied.

During driving, the forces on the tire and the contact area are distributed to extend the tire’s lifespan while also focusing on fuel efficiency. The tire sidewall features a design using carbon texture to make tire information easier to recognize.
