Our take

The Hankook Kinergy ST H735 is best suited for drivers who value longevity and comfort in a touring all-season tire. With a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, it surpasses the category average, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term use. Comfort and noise levels are on par with the benchmarks, ensuring a pleasant driving experience.

However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is noticeably below the category average of 6.9, which might raise concerns for those who often drive in wet conditions. The dry grip is also slightly below average, but it still provides sufficient performance for typical driving scenarios. The absence of the 3PMSF certification means it isn't the best option for light snow, unlike some competitors.

When comparing with competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Continental ProContact TX, the Kinergy ST H735 offers better tread life but sacrifices some wet grip performance. If wet traction is a priority, you might want to consider other options. However, for those focused on durability and comfort, this tire is a solid choice.

Pros

  • Treadwear warranty of 70,000 miles exceeds the category average of 64,578 miles, indicating strong longevity.
  • Comfort and noise scores both at 8, matching the category benchmarks, making it a good choice for quiet and smooth rides.
  • Handling score of 7.5 is competitive within the segment, providing reliable performance for everyday driving.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is below average, which could be a concern for those frequently driving in rainy conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 falls below the category average of 6.9, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • Dry grip rating of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.8, which may affect performance during spirited driving.
  • Lacks the 3PMSF certification, unlike some competitors that offer better light snow performance.
