Hankook Kinergy GT

The Hankook Kinergy GT is a solid choice for drivers seeking a comfortable and quiet ride with a focus on longevity. Its 70,000-mile treadwear warranty is a standout feature, surpassing the category average and offering peace of mind for those who log a lot of miles. In terms of comfort and noise, it matches the grand touring all-season category averages, making it a reliable option for long-distance travel. When it comes to performance, the Kinergy GT's wet grip score of 7.5 slightly exceeds the category average, providing decent traction in wet conditions. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 is marginally below average, which might not satisfy those looking for sharper handling. The tire's UTQG treadwear rating of 540 is slightly below the category average, suggesting it may wear faster than some competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45. Compared to its competitors, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ offers a higher speed rating, which could be a deciding factor for those who occasionally drive at higher speeds. Meanwhile, the BFGoodrich Advantage Control might provide a more balanced performance profile. Overall, the Kinergy GT is best for drivers who prioritize comfort and longevity over high-speed performance.
