Hankook Kinergy AS EV . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season performance; Enhanced controllability; Improved driving durability; Quiet driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook Kinergy AS EV is a touring, all season tire made for SUVs.The all season compound and asymmetric tread design improve year-round performance. In this manner, the optimal tread pattern keeps the close road contact in versatile weather conditions, while the compound maintains its flexibility. At the same time, four circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint in wet situations. As a result, this combination boosts dry, wet, and winter weather grip, promoting safe all weather traction.The optimal tread design maintains road contact at all times, which increases steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering response is faster and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. Large shoulder blocks firmly grip the road surface, boosting cornering and maneuvering ability. On the other hand, the siping details and their close surface contact shorten the braking distance by creating friction. This combination offers excellent controllability.This model provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The asymmetric tread design and its continuous road contact are able to reduce road noise while the tires are in motion. The footprint channels airwaves through, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements and generating sound waves. In this manner, this tread design allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet performance.The Hankook Kinergy AS EV also promotes great driving durability. The reinforced internal structure and durable compound work together to protect the tire's optimal shape. These elements do not allow the tire to deform under the driving pressure affecting it. As a result, it increases driving safety levels even during its high speed performance. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
