Review on Hankook Tire Kinergy Eco 2 K435 195/65 R15 91T summer by Mateusz Wysokiski ᠌

Installed on Skoda Fabia 2 in dimensions 185/60/14. Although inexpensive, but still vag, and the suspension is Vag-like dense, I would even say harsh in places, but with this rubber the car began to ride softer and more pleasant. Initially, I wanted to take this particular model, because in the 14th radius you can’t really clear up the choice of rubber, the only thing that repelled the purchase was negative reviews in terms of its ability to take a hit, but in the end they were not confirmed. This summer I drove to the Crimea, in principle, the roads there are normal, but in some places they are not :). I went to the pink lake (Lake Koyashskoye, if someone was there, they will understand what will be discussed next). The road to it is terribly broken asphalt, which in some places you need to go around on the side of the road, flowing into the primer, knurled by caterpillar tractors (read washboard). Shake on the primer for about 40 minutes, periodically there are very large pits on it, large sharp stones stick out of the ground. To be honest, I thought the rubber would not survive such rides, because from time to time I got tired of throwing up on the primer and I sunk in, more than once flying into pits and stones. I thought that either I would break the wheel, or at best I would leave with a hernia. But, to my pleasant surprise, nothing happened to her. On this rubber, I have already driven almost 9000 km in various conditions, got into heavy downpours on the tracks, did not experience any discomfort, even at speeds over 140 in wet asphalt conditions. He flew into puddles, did not stray from the course, did not demolish, followed the trajectory. Brakes confidently and predictably. In turns, the handle is good, it does not squeal even at high speed (within reason, of course). The habits of the rubber is similar to the regular kontik (sport 2, sort of), which was before her. As a result: this is an excellent rubber for the money, very balanced in terms of performance. It is suitable for both quiet, nauseating driving, and for moderately active, holding-braking-hooking during acceleration is at her level.
