What the data means
The Kinergy 4S2 H750 consistently excels where safety margins matter most for all‑season tyres: wet braking, aquaplaning resistance, and predictable handling. Its top‑three finish among 32 competitors underlines a well‑balanced compound and tread design. On wintery surfaces, it remains competent, and on dry roads it stops short—together making it a strong “fit‑and‑forget” option for mixed climates. The primary trade‑offs noted by testers are mileage that’s only mid‑pack and comfort that’s acceptable rather than plush.

The Giti AllSeason AS1 shows its best side in low exterior noise, which can benefit urban driving and refinement. However, its overall ranking (27/32) indicates limited performance bandwidth in key safety disciplines compared with class leaders. While noise comfort is a welcome trait, the data suggests that in challenging wet conditions—or when pushed—its capabilities trail the segment’s front‑runners.

• Weaknesses – Hankook: mileage/longevity not class‑leading; ride comfort only satisfactory.


• Strengths – Giti: low exterior noise; refinement in everyday, gentle use.


• Weaknesses – Giti: overall ranking indicates compromises in wet and general performance relative to rivals.
