What brand is Kinergy tires?

[MacKarter]

Kinergy is a passenger car tire developed by Hankook Tire of South Korea, specifically designed for European style, with the full name Kinergy EX H308. It is a tire that balances both dry and wet performance, with a focus on comfort. Hankook Tire was established in 1941 as a Korean tire company, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and specialized racing vehicles. Hankook has five R&D centers worldwide, ensuring its tires meet the needs of consumers in each region and enhance customer satisfaction. Hankook Tire products are available in over 180 countries and regions globally and entered the Chinese market in 1996. Kinergy EX has only one model, the H308. In terms of tread design, the H308 features optimized shoulder design to reduce noise during driving, variable groove widths to improve drainage and wet-road performance, and advanced silica-infused tread to reduce rolling resistance and enhance fuel efficiency. As an all-season tire, Kinergy EX utilizes Hankook's Kontrol Technology, which offers four key functions: Enhancing tire performance and durability, maintaining good handling even in harsh conditions. Ensuring the tire maintains its performance during driving, especially in adverse weather and road conditions. Deep understanding of real-world driving conditions to minimize road noise, vibration, and the impact of rough roads. Improving fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction, and cushioning performance, along with excellent wear resistance and flexibility, while maintaining low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks, ensuring a comfortable ride and smooth driving. They also provide good road grip, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability, while bearing the vehicle's weight. Hankook Tire maintenance methods: Increase awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Regularly correct wheel balance, as unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency vibrations and uneven tire wear at high speeds. Rotate tires periodically to ensure even wear. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km. In daily use, Hankook tires require attention to the following: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. As tires wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn out, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing vehicle performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, remove stones lodged in the grooves promptly. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not cool overheated tires with water. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. Allow the tires to cool naturally; never release air or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging on the road.
