The Kinergy GT is a tire designed by Hankook for use on Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Volkswagen vehicles. It offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience while also providing traction in various weather conditions, including light snow. To achieve this, the Kinergy GT utilizes a unique tread pattern made from a silica-infused compound. The symmetric, five-rib tread pattern includes a rigid center rib that improves traction during acceleration and braking. Additionally, the high-modulus bead filler enhances sidewall stiffness, resulting in responsive steering. This tire also boasts a high-grip silica tread compound, which ensures excellent wet traction. Wide lateral notches and four circumferential grooves work together to effectively channel water away from the tire's contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The presence of multiple tread sipes with chamfered edges further maximizes the tire's contact with slippery surfaces, providing exceptional all-season grip. Internally, the Kinergy GT features a durable construction. It includes two wide, steel belts for improved handling and high-speed stability. In most sizes, it also incorporates a full-width nylon reinforcement that enhances overall durability. The tire's body casing, made from polyester cord, strikes a balance between handling and comfort. Additionally, its strong, jointless bead wire ensures uniformity and contributes to a smoother ride.
