Product description & features
The Hankook Kinergy 4S is an all-season tyre which has been designed with reduced rolling resistance to deliver a smooth flow over water and snow. The tyre's lateral grooves have also been constructed to get the most out of the tyre when traction in snowy conditions is required.
Hankook have developed the tyre with two different types of sipes. Along the inside of the tyre, the sipes have been designed to deliver high summer capabilities, whilst around the outside of the tyre the sipes enhance the winter performance of the tyre.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
