The Hankook H308 Kinergy EX summer tire is suitable for most popular compact passenger cars. It belongs to the so-called "energy-efficient" models. It is characterized by impressive fuel economy for its class and its combination with excellent traction properties on wet surfaces.
The tread pattern features numerous lamellas. The grooves are arranged to reduce noise while driving. A similar impact on acoustic comfort is provided by the multi-step arrangement of blocks in the shoulder areas. The 4 wide longitudinal grooves in the central part effectively combat aquaplaning. Even more efficiency on wet surfaces is provided by the use of a silica-rich rubber compound. The breaker located under the tread contains a steel cord of increased width. This makes the contact patch larger and provides its stability under multidirectional acceleration forces, which has a positive effect on handling, especially in complex situations.
Key features:
- exceptional fuel economy and extended lifespan due to the optimization of the tread pattern and carcass design;
- increased silica content and wider drainage grooves provide effective traction on wet surfaces;
- the increased steel cord in the breaker improves traction and handling.
