The all-season tire Hankook H740 kinergy 4s is suitable for most popular passenger cars. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a universal model for areas with so-called "warm winters". It significantly differs from the previous tire with the H730 index with improved traction properties on slippery surfaces.
The improvement of traction properties compared to the predecessor is achieved due to a significant increase in the number of traction edges. This became possible due to the reduction of block sizes and the distance between the lamellas cut into them. Optimization of the tread profile and its pattern allowed to maintain a large contact patch size. As a result, the traction properties have improved, especially during longitudinal accelerations, since a significant part of the edges is located transversely. It is necessary to note the V-shaped form of the drainage grooves in the shoulder areas, which increases the traction force and deceleration intensity, and when maneuvering - the directional stability and handling accuracy.
Main features:
- tread pattern with an increased number of blocks and lamellas provides efficiency on slippery surfaces;
- optimized tread and its pattern increase the contact area with the road surface;
- V-shaped grooves in the shoulder areas increase the intensity of longitudinal accelerations and stability during maneuvering.
