Hankook Kinergy XP

Key Features

• The 3D sipes are placed on the main treads to keep the tire in an optimized shape. This helps to provide outstanding grip and handling performance in all seasons.
• The beveled edges generate grip with improved traction on snowy roads.
• The increased number of sipes improves grip by increasing the edge portion of the tire in contact with the road, improving the digging effect on snowy roads.
• Snow accelerating improved compared to its predecessor.
• Snow braking improved compared to its predecessor.
• Lasts up to 20 percent longer compared to its predecessor.
• The well balanced contact patch design provides improved wear and snow performance.
• By applying Convex TR (Tread Radius) technology, uniformly distributes grounding pressure for each rib block.
• New silica and performance resin compound improves tread wear and snow performance by maintaining its flexibility even in situations where the tire becomes hard due to cold temperatures or braking.
• The knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces tread pattern noise during road contact by narrowing the air path, without losing the groove's intended features.
• The lateral groove structure bends and expands to make contact with the ground gradually, to reduce overall noise.
• Tire noise can be drastically reduced by optimizing the pitch sequence. Kinergy XP has optimized the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.
