The Kinergy 4S2 X is Hankook's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of SUVs, crossovers and vans looking for a capable mix of dry and wet traction and confident wintry weather stability designed to harmonize four season performance. The Kinergy 4S2 X is designed as an all-weather tire to meet industry severe snow service requirements qualifying for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance.

The Kinergy 4S2 X utilizes a new generation Aqua pine tread compound incorporating high loading silica and novel, traction enhancing additives designed to provide higher levels of traction across a wider range of temperatures and conditions. The purposeful, V-shaped tread pattern is designed to blend complementary technologies built to provide traction and performance no matter the season. By increasing and optimizing the tread pattern's pitch count and variation, tread noise is minimized while simultaneously increasing biting edges for inclement weather grip. Wide, lateral tread blocks provide sure-footed dry road cornering and create the space for broad, lateral groove water escape accelerators. High-density summer sipes are incorporated across the tread blocks to help provide slippery condition traction but still maintain a strong connection to the road and handling precision. Concave tie-bars and two-step aqua slant technology further enhances tread block stability while allowing the pattern to retain its void space for effective hydroplaning resistance. 3D winter sipes are interspersed within the tread blocks to create aggressive biting edges for winter performance. Serrated edge grooves and slush edge features enhance cornering performance in snow and slush and are engineered to strengthen winter condition handling and stability that matches the longitudinal snow traction.

The Kinergy 4S2 X's internal construction features an Equilibrium polyester carcass line for enhanced sidewall stiffness and durability, along with a high-hardness bead filler for improved handling and steering response. The wide, steel belt layer utilizes folded belt edge tape to ensure a stable base for the tread package, as well as a jointless, full-cover reinforcement belt for predictable handling and high-speed performance.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
