The Hankook K425 Kinergy Eco tire is a summer model designed for a wide range of vehicles, from compact city cars to family wagons. It is focused on providing safety, driving comfort, and energy efficiency. Kinergy means the energy emitted by an object in motion. Under this name, an environmentally friendly character and excellent safety are understood. This tire is distinguished by its low rolling resistance. When considering its technical side, it can be seen that it consists of a combination of various materials, such as nano-level silica particles and a new rubber compound. As a result, both the consumer and the environment benefit, as fuel consumption is reduced, and accordingly, CO2 emissions are reduced.
The tire is a product of careful development in terms of safety, especially when braking on wet road surfaces. Its tread has a 3-groove channel designed for optimal water removal. As a result, the braking distance on wet road surfaces is reduced, and the risk of aquaplaning is decreased. The self-sharpening tread ribs and wide blocks in the shoulder areas provide excellent traction and great maneuverability. In terms of driving comfort, the Hankook K425 tire uses a special technology called "Vibration Control Technology", which allows reducing vibration and minimizing sensitivity to tread temperature. These characteristics have made the tire very popular among consumers, so it is in high demand.
