4th of 9 tires

Very good dry and wet handling, the best in snow overall, very good noise and comfort levels.
Reduced aquaplaning resistance, above average rolling resistance.
Hankook Kinergy 4S 2 X is great in dry handling, though not the best in dry braking, good in the wet though it struggled a little in the deeper water of aquaplaning, the best overall in snow, very good in comfort and noise, and had an ok rolling resistance. A solid all round product.

Is this tire a runflat suitable for the BMW X3

The 4S 2 is available in runflat sizes, however I'm unsure if they would be the correct sizes for your X3.

Latest Hankook Kinergy 4S 2 X Reviews

Given 80% while driving a Kia Motors Rio (185/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 50 average miles

bought a set of these 2 years ago based on a review from this site. wasn't sure about them at first as they seemed quite slippery for the first 100 miles or so, but soon bedded in, and since then have not had any worries. They perform well all round and am just about to buy a second set. would recommend these tires and if they perform as well this time round as last I will probably get again if available. for around £60-80 a tire they seem to be very good value.

Given 73% while driving a Subaru subaru l series station wagon 4wd (225/60 R18) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles

I have driven 1,000 miles on these tires in my Subaru Outback in the Northeast of the USA where we get 100 inches of snow per a season. So far I am very happy overall. The tires do give a firmer ride comfort. I believe I have lost about 1-2 mpg though.
