The Hankook Kinergy PT 225/60R16 is a standard touring all-season tire designed for drivers of coupes, family sedans, minivans and crossover vehicles who prioritize comfort and longevity in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on low rolling resistance, noise reduction, and balanced traction across various weather conditions.
The tire features an abrasion-resistant carbon black compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern with optimized block stiffness for handling and durability. Wide circumferential grooves work with lateral notches to evacuate water and resist hydroplaning, while aqua slant sipes create additional biting edges for wet and light snow traction. The computer-designed profile distributes weight evenly across the contact patch, and a high-stiffness center rib improves braking performance. Based on 224 driver evaluations, feedback suggests reliable performance across different driving conditions with emphasis on ride comfort.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for family vehicles used primarily for daily commuting and highway driving in mixed weather conditions.
