Please stay out of this model:
Hankook Kinergy EX

I changed to 4 x 185/60/R14, confirm that wet road condition was terrible and nightmare even 99% excellent threads and low speed braking, slip toward won't stop

Bro, if high speed 80km/h I can accept the fact, even low speed 20km/h also cant grip wet road, felt cheated lo

i can also confirm from my experience that hankook kinergy ex is a very slippery tyre. even though it is super duper new like one day old.

so far feel normal..today heavy rain but i did not get a chance to really test it in rain as i used trunk road and no more speed than 80kph... but in dry i feel it is ok nothing to shout about but decent grip enough for daily use ...mine is manufactured 46th week of 2016 also made in indonesia...

i wanted a quiet tyre and the shop recommended me this...my previous michelin xm2 came with the car when i bought it (2nd hand) 6 mts back but it was really noisy and was driving me crazy...checked the date it was manufactured in 2013 so the shop man told me it could have hardened hence generate noise..anyway i dont know hw long my car was sitting in the hot sun at the used car..

but surprisingly after changing to hankook i feel there is not much difference in noise generated by the tyre sound just a little less....or is it just me ??

anyway my ride is a vios 2011 g limited spec...maybe poor sound insulation ??

Agree, i chnage to 4 x 185/60/r14 almost half year ago. The wet road grip is horrible. Even my rojak tyre ( xm2 at the front and goodyear nct5 stock tyre that almost botak) have better grip.
Was planning to get XM2 during that time but the sales person seems manage to convince me to get the Hankook tyre.

So far I got few owner all having same experience as mine.

I check with tires shop before, they said that caused by pattern, it cant disperse the water efficiently when wet handling

Previous so call lousy "Goodyear Eagle NCT5" far more better than it...used until botak still wont like that.

So scary like snake swing left and right even low speed during wet road.

Never buy Hankook anymore. Jan 2016, two days after I changed my front Hankok tires ( all 4 are Hankook), was taking turn at Jalan Istana to KL Sentral doing about 60km/h the car lost control lucky beside didn't have any car. Took back to tire shop they say my tires are fine.

Don't use Hankook Kinergy EX, you will regret. I just replaced all with Bridgestone Ecopia EP150, my problem resolved. It was a very bad tires, failed to disperse water on wet road even new.
