Hankook Tire to Equip the All-New 2021 Chevy Trailblazer with Kinergy GT
As an all-season tire, Kinergy GT is the perfect match for the crossover, being designed for driving on different terrains and a number of road conditions. The 3D-hydroplaning design process gives the tire a unique tread with a wide lateral groove that provides excellent water evacuation. Tread block stiffness is optimized by a rigid center rib, translating to excellent dry performance. Often maintained as the most difficult season to drive in, winter performance and traction are improved thanks to the Kinergy's optimized lateral groove tread design. Hankook's patented high-grip silica is the backbone of the Kinergy tread structure. Our dual filler system integrates high dispersible silica to give the Kinergy GT its characteristic low rolling resistance and improved wear and is balanced with design for superior handling and performance, durability and comfort.
Redesigned inside and out for 2021, the Chevy Trailblazer sports an aggressive front grill, tiered headlights and two-toned roofline for RS and ACTIV trims. The addition of Hankook's Dynapro AT2 is an ideal complement to the Trailblazer's style and offers drivers a blend of off-road traction and driving capabilities.
Hankook Tire started supplying original equipment tires to General Motors in 2002, and continues to equip vehicles with Hankook Tire products, from Chevrolet (Malibu, Equinox, Spark, and Sonic) and GMC Terrain to Buick Encore. With the addition of the Chevy Trailblazer, Hankook Tire has expanded its global automotive partnerships by successfully supplying original equipment tires for 46 automakers including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW.
