Today we are comparing two all-round tyres, the
Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 and the
Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 and deciding which is better in their mutual tests. The Hankook tyre is manufactured by
Hankook and the Yokohama tyre by
Yokohama.
The
Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750, rated 89% on our site, replaces the previous Hankook Kinergy 4S model. With its precise and secure characteristics on dry road, good mileage prediction, low abrasion, low weight, and low fuel consumption, the Hankook tyre has proven to be a reliable choice. Minor weaknesses were found in wet and winter road conditions, with slightly louder rolling noise compared to other models. However, with its position at 3rd out of 16 in the ADAC test and 8th out of 31 in Autobild's test, the Hankook tyre performed well, showcasing excellent aquaplaning and handling features.
On the other hand, the
Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21, rated 31% on our site, demonstrated good braking performance on snow. But, it fell short when it came to dry and wet conditions, with weaknesses also found in mileage prediction, abrasion and weight. In terms of test results, Yokohama was placed 14th out of 16 in the ADAC test and 15th out of 31 in the Autobild test. Its best features were recorded as comfort and snow acceleration.
In summary, when comparing the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 and Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21,
Hankook comes out as a better all-round tyre, thanks to its secure characteristics, reliable mileage, and overall road performance.
Its only noted setback was a slightly louder rolling noise. Yokohama fell a bit short, demonstrating good snow braking but lacking in terms of dry and wet condition performance, mileage prediction, abrasion and weight.
