This tire was notably awarded for its dry handling, low fuel consumption, predicted high mileage and light weight. Additionally, it demonstrated short dry and wet braking distances, and very good levels of comfort. Although it struggled a bit with aquaplaning resistance and snow performance, it managed to rank third in the ADAC tests and autobild 2023. The Hankook kinergy 4S2 H750 is an upgraded version of the previous Hankook Kinergy 4S.
