The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 demonstrates notable proficiency in diverse conditions, excelling particularly in wet handling and hydroplaning, where it secured podium finishes. Its snow performance was balanced, offering good traction and handling, although it fell slightly short in snow braking. In dry conditions, the tire showed commendable handling abilities, especially in direction changes. However, areas like rolling resistance and dry braking were not its strongest points, reflecting a need for improvement.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S 2 H750, occupying the third spot, exhibits a mixed performance across different conditions. In winter settings, it's less suited, with only mediocre steering precision and feedback, accompanied by a tendency to drift. The tire shows a neutral balance in wet conditions with clear feedback and a short braking distance, but its lateral stability doesn't match that of the Goodyear. In dry conditions, the Hankook excels, demonstrating exceptional handling and grip, showcasing its athletic capabilities. Despite its longevity in the market, it performs commendably on wet and dry roads, though it falls short in snow conditions.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is a proven all-season tire offering reliable driving characteristics on snow and ice, with crisp steering behavior and very good mileage. However, it has slightly extended wet and dry braking distances, which might be a concern in emergency braking situations.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 stands out with its superior performance in both dry handling and wet braking. While it exhibits proficiency in wet handling, dry braking, and comfort, it doesn't quite match the best in snow performance. However, as highlighted, an all-season tire that excels in dry and wet conditions might be more valuable to many than one focused primarily on snow. This balance found in the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 aligns well with what many seek in an all-season tire.
