The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 are both versatile all-round tyres and popular choices amongst drivers. However, when compared side-by-side, some differences in performance and ratings emerge which could influence your choice.
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 is a competent performer, with our rating of 45%. Standout features include its dry braking and wet circle cornering capabilities. Tested by Autoklub ČR, it secured the 4th position out of 7 tyres, a commendable feat. On the Autobild test, it had an impressive 1st position out of 27 tyres, excelling in parameters like dry handling, wet braking, and rolling resistance. However, it fell short in terms of snow traction and had only satisfactory mileage, as noted in the autobild 2020 test.
In contrast, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750, a successor to the Hankook Kinergy 4S, has received an overall rating of 84%. Made in South Korea, it tested well for Aquaplaning - both in cross and longitudinal, wet handling, and snow handling in the Autobild test, securing the 4th position out of 27 tyres. In Autoklub ČR test, it stood 6th from total 7 tyres. However, in ACE test, it outperformed Bridgestone and secured the 5th position amongst 8 tyres. While it shows convincing driving properties on wet roads and good qualities in snow, reservations have been noted about its mileage and driving comfort.
In conclusion, both Bridgestone and Hankook manufacture formidable all-round tyres. However, if Weighing between the two, Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 appears to offer a greater overall performance in terms of capabilities and our ratings, albeit at the potential cost of driving comfort. Do take into consideration the different ratings and feedback before making your final decision. It’s important to choose a tyre that is most suitable to your specific driving requirements and conditions.
