Drivers generally describe the Hankook K425 Kinergy Eco as a strong value eco tyre, 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 tyre's other strengths.
What owners mention most counted across 40 reviews
Good ties in general. Good grip on dry roads. Good grip in the wet, with in ordinary driving. Noise level of the tires are low.
The next time they are coming back under the car!
Highly recommended for this type of car!
Doing mainly motorway driving, aprox. 100km per day and it seems to wear amazing. Got them last summer, can easily say they will last till next summer at least.
These tyres were fitted to my 2012 Hyundai Elantra Elite when I bought it new. It has now done 58000 k's, and in my estimation, the tyres have about another 3000 - 5000 k's in them. They are the best wearing tyres I have ever experienced in 30 years of driving. They handle well in the dry - not quite as well in the wet, but no nasty surprises, and are generally quiet, except on some coarse asphalt surfaces. They are not a "soft" ride, but certainly make up for that in longevity. I will be buying another set.
Outer edges are now worn on front. Mainly careful economic style of driving. Had to change inner rear tyre due to wall damage when hitting a kerb turning left
Carefully selected these tyres for our MK3 Ford Galaxy. Thought they would be a good balance between cost and performance. Mostly concerned about wear as the Galaxy is a very heavy car. After 10,000 miles I swapped front and rear tyres to balance out wear. Now at 22,000 miles I need to replace all four tyres as they have less than 2mm thread. Expected that they would have lasted longer.
I just have these tyres for 6000km's, good grip on dry road, in wet a little bit less. Tyres are quiet. Wear is a little bit less, I mostly drive on highways and on the corners I can already se wearing off.
For 10 EUR more you have premium brand (in 195/65), it's better to buy one of these premiums.
Pleased with these tyres - well, they worked for me! No problems with grip etc. I bought these because they offered what I look for in a tyre - they are marketed as 'eco' (the clue is in the name) and I suggest that others consider this when buying. I got good MPG with the Hankooks AND the full set lasted for 50K miles (moved around the car every 10K or so). PLUS, they are substantially cheaper than the Michelin Energy (top rated eco tyre). They got a bit noisy when down to the wear indicators however (don't most tyres?), but well done Hankook. I have replaced with Evergreen EU72's - just because I like to try something new :)
The tire is from the worst i've ever had... when the road is in even a light wet condition , driving is very dangerous! Keep away...
i've been using bridgestone,goodyear,toyo,michelin,continental ... this tyre is awfull.
Replaced some worn out Goodyear DuraGrips with these. These tyres have terrible grip in wet, when pulling away at roundabouts and junctions in the wet there is very poor traction. Fairly decent grip on dry roads. Of all the tyres I have ever owned, these have worn down the fastest, they do not last well at all. I have had them for about 11 months (I do around 10k miles a year) and they are now just a few mm above wear indicators. Fairly noisy tyre as well - have just replaced these with some more DuraGrips and am amazed how much less road noise I get. Will never buy Hankook again based on these tyres
I have the tire one year about 8000 KM lightly used. Car Renault Laguna 1,9 DCI touring. Dry grip good in curves but by breaking not soo good, quite slippery. Wet grip very poor, by speed 90km/h always aquaplaning even by small water place on road. Corners are soft, even I looked on it when tires were out from wheel. Price 5 - 10 pounds cheaper as Dunlop or others quality brands... before I had 4x Dunlop very satisfied, I am going back to Dunlop Sport Maxx RT very good feedback too...
