In this comparison, we will be taking a closer look at two all-round tyres, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 and the Viking Fourtech, both of which are popular choices for drivers seeking year-long performance without the need to change tyres seasonally.
The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is a highly-rated tyre from South Korean company Hankook with an overall rating of 88% on our website. This tyre is a continuation of Hankook's Kinergy 4S series, but has no specific replacement model. The Kinergy 4S2 H750 is designed to offer impressive performance on wet, dry and snow-covered roads, making it an excellent all-round choice for drivers.
On the other hand, the Viking Fourtech is a lesser known tyre from Viking, that features an overall rating of 33%. Although details about the country of origin, levels of first equipment usage, and previous models are not provided, this tyre boasts an all-round character promising durability and safety in various road conditions.
Comparing the two tyres based on recent tests, we turn our attention to the Auto Bild Test. Out of 27 tyres tested, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 secured the 4th position, while the Viking Fourtech finished in a modest 15th place.
The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 outperformed the Viking Fourtech in categories such as aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal), wet handling, and snow handling. However, the Viking Fourtech demonstrated strengths in rolling resistance and aquaplaning (cross category) during the test. It is important to note that in the Auto Bild 2020 test summary, the Kinergy 4S2 H750 received praise for its excellent performance on wet surfaces and in snow, alongside short braking distances on both wet and dry roads. The only drawback mentioned was its average mileage and satisfactory driving comfort.
In conclusion, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 proves to be the superior all-round tyre when compared to the Viking Fourtech, excelling in its wet handling, snow handling, and aquaplaning resistance. While the Viking Fourtech does have its merits, its overall performance falls short of the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750. For drivers seeking a reliable, versatile, and high-performing tyre, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the clear choice.
