    Has anyone tried Hankook Kinergy ST tires?

    I was poking around looking for new tires since I will need them at some point. I came across these which claim to be a LRR tire. The price is reasonable at $59/ea at Discount Tire. I am wondering if anyone has tried a set, and what their thoughts are? They are available in 175/65R14 and 185/60R14.

    They are cheaper than Walmart's price. Walmart lists 185/60r14 @ $66.28. I only mentioned this, because Walmart has 429 reviews on this tire. Reviews seem very positive.

    Thanks for that info Mark. I wasn't really able to find much for reviews elsewhere. Here is the link to the Walmart product page with reviews:

    Something about those reviews though... they keep saying the tire is an Optimo, but its a Kinergy? A quick google search says Hankook replaced the Optimo H725 with the Kinergy H735 in April of 2018. Sounds like a lot of these reviews are for the Optimo, not Kinergy.

    I ended up purchasing a set of these tires. I'll update this thread after I get some miles on them.
