Test Results
In the comparison, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 received an 84% overall rating, scoring particularly high for its aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinal, according to Tyre Reviews. While in the Autobild tests, it secured the first position amidst 11 tyres, demonstrating excellent performance in terms of exterior noise, snow handling, dry handling, and wet circle cornering.
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO received an overall rating of 75%. Its strength lies in the low rolling resistance, making it energy efficient, according to Tyre Reviews. The tyre also performed exceptionally well in wet and dry conditions, short dry braking and, despite some limitations in snow performance, it took the third position in Autobild tests.
Summary
Overall, it appears that both tyres have their merits. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 shines in terms of wet performance and snow handling, yet falls slightly short on rolling resistance. The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO presents a balanced performance in both wet and dry conditions, with low rolling resistance but has room for improvement in snow performance.
To conclude, when choosing between these two, the decision will highly depend on the specific driving conditions and priorities of the user. If you prioritize wet and snow performance, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the better candidate. However, if you value rolling resistance and wet/dry performance then the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO might be the better option for you.
