Hankook Kinergy XP Tires

About the Hankook Kinergy XP

3D Sipes 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. Beveled Edges on Shoulder Grooves The beveled edges generate grip with improved traction on snowy roads. Increased Sipe Density 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 by 15 percent Snow accelerating improved compared to its predecessor. Snow Braking improved by 14 percent Snow braking improved compared to its predecessor. Treadlife Lasts up to 20 percent longer compared to its predecessor. Optimized Foot Shape The well balanced contact patch design provides improved wear and snow performance. Even Tread Wear By applying Convex TR (Tread Radius) technology, uniformly distributes grounding pressure for each rib block. High Flexible Materials 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. Knurling Technology 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. Expanding Shoulder Grooves The lateral groove structure bends and expands to make contact with the ground gradually, to reduce overall noise. Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing 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. 3D Sipes The 3D sipes are placed on the main treads to keep the tire in an optimized shape.
