Review on Hankook Tire Kinergy Eco 2 K435 185/65 R15 88T summer by Wiktor Janusz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I just purchased this tire today. 14 radius. One thing I can say is that the tires aren't any worse than the ones my husband had on the Tuareg (they are Michelin now, but before that they were Continental Premium 5). After getting the tires up to temperature, I tested how well they grip the road when going at high speeds. On a stretch of straight road that was seven kilometers long, I pushed the car to a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, and what took me by surprise was that despite the increase in speed and contact patch, the tires were able to keep the road in pristine condition. This was the case even though, outside the window at a distance of twenty-five, there was also rain-soaked asphalt. However, even the smallest departure can bring a great deal of pleasure. In general, the tire is very comfortable at a speed of 140–150 km/h, making it an ideal choice for drivers who are in a rush to get somewhere and want to drive quickly outside of the city. In relation to the city, it is even more exciting here since the rubber is quite quiet and moves very gently through the joints and dips. You can listen to music while steering the car with one hand, and the car will respond your commands immediately. Concerning the deficiencies, it was mentioned earlier that after reaching high speeds, the rubber buzzes and heats up, although this is an expected side effect. In conclusion, I would say that this tire type is clearly very successful, and furthermore, it has the ability to surprise people with the price-to-quality ratio that it offers. Just wanted to express my delight at how well all the parameters were balanced.

Pros
  • 1) Capable of maintaining speeds of up to 120 miles per hour without commotion or concern for your life. 2) Quiet. 3) Puddles aren't a problem at all during the rain. 4) In the City, all cracks and fissures are navigated with great care. 5) An extremely high price in relation to the quality
Cons
  • 1) It was not intended to be used for repeated, rapid accelerations and decelerations (the reason for this limitation is explained in the comments).
