"The All New Avante" is Hyundai Motor Company's flagship compact sedan, featuring a compact body, sophisticated design, and stable driving performance. It is a key strategic model aimed not only at the domestic market but also at global markets including North America.

Hankook Tire will supply the "Kinetic XP" in 17-inch and 18-inch sizes for the "The All New Avante" sold in Korea. The "Kinetic XP" delivers stable performance and comfortable ride quality across a wide range of climates and driving environments. It can be installed on a variety of vehicles including sedans and SUVs, and is characterized by excellent mileage performance.

The tire adopts a compound (rubber blend) and profile specially optimized for all-season driving, ensuring stable braking and handling performance on wet and snowy roads, along with uniform tread wear. In addition, the tread sipes (grooves on the tread surface) and special shoulder grooves (grooves on the edge) enhance performance on snowy roads. Knurling technology (fine surface patterning) and multi-pitch sequencing (arrangement of tread block intervals) reduce road noise, further supporting a stable and comfortable driving experience.

Following supply to the seventh-generation Avante, Hankook Tire will continue its long-term partnership with Hyundai Motor Company by supplying original equipment tires for the eighth-generation "The All New Avante." A Hankook Tire representative stated, "Starting with the domestic market, we plan to gradually expand supply to the general model for North America and the hybrid model for Europe, offering a product portfolio optimized for each region’s driving conditions and the vehicle’s powertrain characteristics."
