The development of the Kinergy Eco 2 (K435) led to Hankook enhancing both their rolling resistance and their braking performance on wet roads. To augment fuel efficiency with minimal compromise to wet road performance, the Kinergy Eco 2 (K435) employs a high-grip silica compound. The tread design features 3 longitudinal grooves along with a number of lateral grooves. In contrast to the inner grooves, which are designed to evacuate water, the outer block grooves are designed to enhance cornering performance on dry roads.
The K435 is the second generation of the K425 Kinergy Eco from Hankook. It boasts both a new pattern and a new compound. In addition, Hankook offers the K435 with reinforced construction for vehicles with a higher load requirement, which is denoted by an XL on the sidewall. Tyres.co.uk offers the reinforced Kinergy Eco 2 (K435) among their many tyre options.
