When it comes to buying tyres, it's important to consider real-world performance data. Our review focuses on two models, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 and the Toyo Celsius AS2, both of which are all-rounders made by Hankook and Toyo respectively.
The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 excels with its precise and secure characteristics on dry roads, high predicted mileage, low wear, light weight, and low fuel consumption. However, they have minor weaknesses in wet and wintry conditions and a slightly higher rolling noise compared to some competitors. The tire consistently positioned in the top 3 in various tests, achieving an impressive 89% overall rating.
The previous model of the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 was the Hankook Kinergy 4S, though it has not yet been replaced by a newer model. The tyre is made in South Korea.
Conversely, the Toyo Celsius AS2 distinguished itself with good projected mileage, low wear, low weight, and low fuel consumption. However, weaknesses surfaced in dry, wet, and wintry conditions. The tyre's most notable performance came in the ADAC test, where it ranked 11th out of 16 tyres. It secures 54% in our overall rating.
The Toyo Celsius AS2, unlike Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750, did not evolve from a previous model and has not been replaced by a newer model. It is produced in Japan.
Verdict
From the data collected across numerous tests and scenarios, we can conclude that the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 outperforms the Toyo Celsius AS2 overall. It is precise on dry roads, offers excellent mileage, and promotes low fuel consumption.
However, its minor weaknesses in wet and winter conditions, and slightly higher rolling noise, demonstrate that there's some room for improvement. Despite these issues, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 consistently ranks high in mutual tests, and thus we highly recommend it for all-round driving conditions.
The Toyo Celsius AS2, while boasting solid attributes like good projected mileage and low fuel consumption, falls short in its performance on dry, wet, and winter roads. Combined with its lower overall ranking in mutual tests, we recommend it for drivers with modest tyre demands or for driving in less demanding road conditions.
