Europe’s leading automotive magazine Auto Bild has named tyre maker Hankook as the best manufacturer of the year for its all-season line of Hankook tyres. In each relevant product test, the Hankook Kinergy 4S 2 range made its way to the podium in every relevant test that was conducted by Europe’s widest-ranging automotive media. The main factor that determined all-season Hankook tyres being voted tyre manufacturer of 2021 was the very high safety margins across all weather conditions in the tests.
The Kinergy 4S2 X achieved first place during the big SUV all-season tyre test and the Kinergy 4S 2 came third in the super all-season tyre test for passenger cars, proving the high performance of its premium all-season tyres. The positions on the podium both contributed towards the overall ranking for this year’s award. “We have been offering our customers innovative high-performance, all-season tyres for over 20 years, making us one of the main pioneers in this product category. That is why I’m delighted that we have received the Manufacturer of the Year award from the Auto Bild magazine. The independent test results show that our Kinergy 4S family are true all-rounders that our customers can rely on,” says Sanghoon Lee, President of Hankook Tire Europe.
The Kinergy 4S 2 is the complete premium tyre, offering a reliable and safe performance 365 days a year, combining specific summer and winter tyre characteristics, without the temperature-related drops in performance. Auto Bild named the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 X as this year’s winner of their all-season tyre test. The editors of the German magazine concluded by saying: “It really exists. One single tyre that can keep you safe in all weather conditions. Hankook’s test-winning tyre is an exemplary compromise.” Providing long-lasting well-balanced performance, the Kinergy 4S2 X has stable handling and high grip at low temperatures, enhancing your driving experience in the colder months. The all-season Hankook tyre also has short braking distances and low rolling noise in the summer heat offers you a comfortable drive in warmer climates.
