The Hankook Kinergy ST H735 is a premium touring all-season tire introduced in 2017, designed for drivers of passenger cars and crossovers seeking comfortable, quiet highway operation with reliable year-round traction at accessible pricing. Available in sizes ranging from 13 to 18-inch wheel diameters, the H735 targets both older and modern vehicle applications requiring balanced all-season capabilities prioritizing durability and everyday comfort over ultimate performance specialization. The tire features solid center rib providing excellent grip for outstanding dry handling and braking performance, combined with wide circumferential four-channel grooves maximizing water evacuation to promote wet traction while open shoulder and wide aqua grooves ensure hydroplaning resistance. Optimized tread block stiffness ensures enhanced durability and tread uniformity improving both handling performance and mileage expectations, with Hankook backing the tire with impressive 70,000-mile treadwear warranty across all sizes. Pricing proves notably competitive with popular 205/55R16 size costing approximately $96 compared to premium alternatives like Michelin Defender T+H at $142, making the H735 attractive option for value-conscious drivers seeking reliable all-season capabilities.
The Hankook Kinergy ST H735 delivers impressive performance considering its accessible pricing, with users consistently praising the tire as quiet and comfortable on highways while providing fantastic braking performance and handling on both wet and dry pavement. Independent testing and user feedback reveals excellent treadlife with durability proving especially impressive given the tire's value positioning, with many drivers approaching or exceeding the 70,000-mile warranty through normal driving conditions. Dry surface performance proves strong with better handling and steering response than typical budget alternatives, while wet performance shows noticeable improvements over the previous generation with confident traction during moderate precipitation. Light snow conditions under 2 inches reveal fantastic grip appropriate for occasional winter weather, though heavy snow above 2 inches exposes limitations where dedicated winter tires would provide superior performance. The tire delivers improved performance on wet surfaces compared to its predecessor while maintaining the comfortable, quiet characteristics expected from premium touring tire applications. The Kinergy ST H735 serves drivers prioritizing comfortable, quiet daily transportation with good all-season traction at reasonable cost, representing solid value proposition for mainstream passenger car and crossover applications where ultimate performance takes secondary priority to reliability, comfort, and economical operation throughout extended service life approaching the generous warranty mileage expectations.
