extreme opposite reviews spotted...
conclusion, those using hankook kinergy:
(A) skidded on wet: because drive fast and corners like f1 racer.
(B) never skid on wet and praised: because drive too slow like turtle with 20km/h cornering speed.

I almost changed to this hankook kinergy when tyre shop told me goodyear triplemax 2 no more stock after they dismantled my old tyres from rims. after consideration i took toyo ne03 coz saw very huge difference opinions.

Ventus v12 evo and s1 evo series should be good in wet conditions. I think the kinergy models is the one that's not great in wet conditions. But yes, waiting for your feedback.

S1E2 is Hankook flagship so it shoukd be very good, even better than v12e2. Where will you get them from coz not many selling this.

Good to hear another user genuinely liking the Kinergy EX. I was one of those that were quite happy with them. Surprised as I have read many here that condemn these tyres. A few said they have skidded and so forth but I have never experienced it. Maybe that are bad drivers or have terribly maintained vehicles. Decent value tyre.

just changed to kinergy 185/60/15 after my 5yr old toyo nanoenergy blowout sad.gif

1st impressions compared to old toyo... very noisy... much harder sidewalls... stiffer steering... much hotter running

Will run it in, trash it about and reported back... expecting worse mileage due to higher roling resistance

was gonna get back toyo but no stock

I have used both the Kinergy Ex and now the new Kinergy Eco2.
My car is quite light at the back so I often have skids on the rear tires on the Kinergy Ex but now with the Eco2 much better handling both wet and dry and rarely have skids.

Thanks for the feedback.

I haven't gotten my new shoes as my stock tires surprisingly held up quite well up to this day, always thought it would run out quite fast but looks like it can still take a couple of thousand miles more.

drive sensibly and no skid ah... if kinergy so bad, lots of cars will end in the ditch already when raining since its factory fitted in lots of cars...

Like i mention, my car tail very light, drive sensibly in a corner with slow speed also will skid a bit. Mind you the tyres were new. I'm not saying the tyres are all round bad but just during wet conditions need be more careful with them. Since now KinergyEx discontinued and replaced with Eco2, they have improved alot. I think i may have over exaggerated the skid but it is more like i will lose grip a few seconds then the cars esc will kick in then okay adi.

sorry bro...don't mean to imply your driving is not sensible.. my bad

yeah different car/suspensions/loading, different tyre size/pressure, etc...will contribute to skidding/drifting... the eco2 does look better than the ex, and thanks for your confirmation

after alignment...there was a minor pull/drift to the left...swapping the fronts left to right fixed the problem... this apparently also fixed the stiffer steering... lol

have been driving it hard in dry and wet these few days... the tyre has settled down quite a bit... took some corners hard and managed to slide it a bit in dry and wet... better handling and feedback than the toyo ne03, but a bit noisier... I now prefer this eco2 to the ne03... as new, there's nothing remarkable but also nothing seriously bad... my new favorite cheap tyre... no idea about mileage yet, not my priority

Exacrly same as my experience...... Basically thrashed NE03 on every aspect except noise and rolling-resistance.

Having done 20k km on these Eco2, my own observation is they prefer slightly higher air pressure than NE03.... I found 250kPa to be the best balance between comfort and handlind/grip, whereas NE03 will be rock hard at 250kPa and I used to pump it to 230-240kPa. My tyre size is 185/65R14.

thanks...my ne03 I pump to 250kpa biggrin.gif...but eco2 will have to test it out

different car/weight/tyre size/age...driving style/etc influence pressure to use...for 14/15” rims 250kpa is a good starting point to fine tune
