Details for Hankook Kinergy PT (H737) | Hometown Auto Care Hopkins, MN

Optimized block stiffness : Optimized tread block stiffness ensures enhanced durability and tread uniformity for improved handling performance and mileage.

VAI (Visual Alignment Indicator) system : The visual alignment indicator siping system provides an easy way to check tire alignment. Compares the wear on the sipes located on both of the tireâ€™s shoulders and then realign as necessary.

High structure and small particle size carbon : Super abrasion furnace carbon black provides low rolling resistance, delivering high mileage to drivers.

Optimal profile design : An optimized tire profile designed by advanced computer-aided simulation improves wear and braking performance by evenly distributing weight over the tireâ€™s contact patch.

Footprint : A wide contact area provides better cornnering response, improved handling, performance and a comfortable ride.

Belt edge tape folding : A rubber sheet, incorporated between 1st and 2nd belts help to prevent separation in the tireâ€™s belt edge and increase durability.

Rim cushion sheet : Rim cushion sheet has been used in the design of the KINERGY PT to aid durability.

High stiffness center rib : A rigid center rib provides excellent grip for outstanding dry handing and braking performance.

Enhanced sidewall stiffness : Engineered to deliver optimal steering ability via enhanced sidewall stiffness.

Asymmetric pattern design : An enhanced outside stiffness ensures improved dry handling and cornering performance.

Tie-bar applied to the closed lateral groove : A block applied to the tie-bar of out lateral groove provides excellent handling and braking.

Wide circumferential out grooves : Wide out grooves provide maximum water evacuation which promotes wet traction.

Wide lateral groove : Wide lateral grooves incorporated into the tire's tread ensure hydroplaning resistance for excellent wet handling and braking.

Aqua slant sipes : Radial direction sipes provides improved handling in wet and dry conditions by locking together for greater rididty.
