Tyre reviews Hankook H750 Kinergy 4S2. Page 3 221

Good.

Everything is fine

holds dry, wet asphalt well
snow slush, frost -23 excellent grip, rolled snow up to ice in the rut exits, didn't try on black ice

Size 185/60/15
Ambiguous impression: the sidewalls are soft, but the tread is harder, apparently that's why it's very prone to rolling. I'm comparing it to Kama Euro-129 195/55/15 and Toyo Observe G3 Ice 185/60/15. In terms of rolling, it's like Toyo, it's like sailing on a barge, it absorbs bumps and joints quietly, as if they didn't exist. It's not noisy. I haven't noticed any losses during acceleration, handling in turns is normal (like in winter). Braking on dry asphalt is good, but it can be easily lost at a traffic light on the same dry asphalt. The tread itself is several times narrower than the balloon width, the edges are somehow rolled over, so the area is less than that of a summer or regular winter tire, it feels like 175, not 185. It hasn't seen snow and ice yet, but as many people write about all-season tires, that it's neither fish nor meat, I've now experienced it myself. It's too soft and prone to rolling for summer, and for winter, the tread height is too small and the ribbing is insufficient for ice, the side tread is rounded, which will prevent it from getting out of the rut (in winter, the tire edge is square and cuts through the rut). We'll see how it will perform in winter, but for 0+5 degrees, it's just very soft and prone to rolling, not to mention summer. In the spring, I'll think about what to replace it with. If I had the opportunity, I would return it without hesitation. Conclusion that describes it 100%: soft like a winter tire, but with a pattern like a summer tire! I don't even understand why such a tire exists.

It won't replace winter or summer tires. But you can drive, if you consider all its features. The main thing is to choose a safe speed of movement in difficult weather conditions, when this tire is the least effective.

In principle, not bad. But to a greater extent, they are suitable for autumn rather than summer. They performed wonderfully in the rain, mud. Aquaplaning at 5. I drove into a puddle while turning at speed, I thought there would be problems, but no, it passed like a knife through butter. They are not designed for driving on snow, although a snowflake is depicted. Better than just summer tires, but the maximum is neat driving, if you suddenly didn't have time to change shoes on time. A small frost down to minus 5, on a dry road, not bad, even if there is ice in some places. Noisy, in my opinion. They are not racing tires for the track either. Although I drove 160 on them, and there's nothing particularly bad. It's just that there's something to compare with. In general, the tires are a set of compromises. If you like speed, silence, and comfort in the summer, and don't drive in bad weather in the fall, then they're not for you. For driving in bad weather, they are excellent tires.

Good NEW all-season tire. Bought for summer and transitional seasons, in winter - in emergency cases. (winter tires out of reach)

Bought for Saab 99 (1973) in size 175/65 R15

It's a weekend car, so universal tires were needed. The tire's performance on snow and ice, braking/acceleration, traction was very surprising. Not like Friction tires, of course, but very good! Also, I've read reviews that as a winter option, it works well while the tread is fresh, and after 30% wear, it's not as good in winter. But this fact has not been tested yet.

Fantastic tires. They perform confidently on the road, and hold the road well on turns! I recommend them

Very good tires in all characteristics. But when recently for a couple of days Moscow was covered with ice, it became clear that without studs in winter there is no way. I got stuck literally everywhere, couldn't even leave the parking lot. Of course, such ice happens once a winter, but it's better to be prepared for it. So next winter I will already be installing studs.
