The Hankook Kinergy GT is a tire developed specifically for Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Volkswagen vehicles. It is an all-season tire that aims to provide a smooth and comfortable driving experience while ensuring traction in various weather conditions. The tire is designed with a symmetric, five-rib tread pattern and a silica-infused compound that enhances its performance. The center rib of the tire aids in traction during acceleration and braking, while the high-modulus bead filler increases sidewall stiffness for better steering responsiveness. The tread compound is infused with high-grip silica, allowing for improved traction on wet surfaces. The tire also features wide lateral notches and four circumferential grooves that work together to evacuate water and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Additionally, the tire has chamfered tread sipes that maximize contact area on slippery surfaces, enhancing its all-season traction capability. Internally, the tire is constructed with two wide steel belts, which are reinforced with nylon (in most sizes), improving handling and durability. The body casing, made from polyester cord, helps balance handling and comfort, and the jointless bead wire ensures a smooth ride by enhancing uniformity.
