Hankook K425 Kinergy Eco Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 41 reviews

Drivers generally describe the Hankook K425 Kinergy Eco as a strong value eco tire, with many high-scoring reviews praising long tread life, even wear, and stable, confidence-inspiring dry handling. Wet performance is often rated as acceptable to good in normal driving, though a noticeable minority report reduced wet traction (especially when pulling away) compared with premium alternatives. The most consistent complaint is road noise at higher speeds or on coarse/worn surfaces, which for some owners is severe enough to outweigh the tire's other strengths.

It has a great dry and wet grip. I also used it in a 3-4 cm. snow and it worked very well also. I tested the limits of the tires and it never let it go. No road noise at all. After 15.000 miles it has the same performance but only lose 2-3 mm wear. I had paid two times of the money for premium called brands and feel stupid about it. I tried Continental Contact 2, Continental Sport 3, Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin, Bridgestone ER300, Kumho KU31 and Lassa Impetus Revo. HANKOOK K425 is definitely the best tires at all. You should try it once. I will buy again absolutely.

One fitted to the front of an A class Mercedes that my wife uses around town and it has shown an appalling wear rate. It needs to be replaced after only 12,500 miles ! The other front tire, a Kumho, has been on the car much longer and still has a number of miles life left in it.

Won't be using a Hankook again !

These are fitted to my Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 on the front wheels , I drive a 50/50 mix of motorway and B roads generally, with a varied driving style - steady to get to work and pushing on to get back Home! They were a good price £52 each fitted for a quality brand and given they were some of the most modern and fuel efficient tires on the market I had high hopes. Braking , handling and acceleration or all good in the dry , with a slight weakness in the wet. Nothing to worry about at all. I like the look of the tires , the brand and the noise is comparable to my previous bridgestone turanzas. The only area I have felt a litte let down is the tire life, I currently have 12500 miles on them , with about 2000 of those spent on the rear before I swapped the round. The tread remaining is just under 3mm. I had hoped for around 20000miles from them when I purchased so I think I will try another brand. Have been pleased with energy savers on another car in the past and I hoped these would be much the same , their life was just not great for me. Dont know if I should spend the extra for Michelin next time.

I bought these tires for my father, along with alloy wheels, the Ford Escort TD 1.8.1998 god.karavan.I bought them mainly as a summer tire, because planning a trip to Greece this year.Tires are OK.They have a very deep Sara, and nicely filed August as wet and hot asphalt. Cena tells her!On my new Ford fijesta-2011 years.Purchased the car I also got Hankook tires (all four, too) who can not tolerate rain like this.Have a heavy, and somehow seemed to ring the whole car.Lepo tolerate full throttle!

Although, in my Citroen Xsara Pikasso - I bought a Good Year.What say?Good Year is a Good Year.Quiet, good, creaks `on` full throttle ....
