What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
49/100From 16 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Hankook Kinergy GT (H436) generally satisfies users with its smooth ride, quiet performance, and reliable traction on dry and wet pavement. However, mixed opinions exist regarding its winter weather capabilities and long-term tread life, with some drivers reporting quicker-than-expected wear.
Pros
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality
- Quiet operation on the highway
- Reliable handling and tracking on dry and wet roads
- Good overall value as OEM equipment
Cons
- Poor traction and performance in snow and ice
- Subpar tread longevity reported by some drivers (wearing out between 20,000 and 37,000 miles)
Worth knowing
- Drivers with AWD sedans like the 2021 Toyota Camry SE note solid dry and wet tracking, though aggressive driving styles accelerate wear.
- Owners of small crossovers like the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer RS report adequate dry and wet grip but highlight severe limitations in winter driveway conditions compared to similar vehicles.
