Tyre reviews Hankook K135 Ventus Prime 4 1459

245/45 R18 XL. Good tires. I really liked them. They don't feel the rut, they move confidently on both dry and wet roads, the noise is moderate. Reinforced sidewall, but at the same time soft and comfortable. The previous Hankook K120 were noisier and harder. Rim protection is present.

I had Toyo T1-R tires. Everyone was satisfied, but in 2023, there was almost no choice of tires at an adequate price. I wanted to buy Chinese Goodride, but I didn't dare and took these instead. There were almost no reviews for Ventus Prime 4, but there were reviews for Ventus Prime 3 and they were very good. I decided to buy them and didn't regret it at all. I really liked them. After Toyo T1-R, it turned out that my car is actually comfortable) Handling, braking, noise - everything is fine. The only thing is, I haven't tried these tires on wet asphalt, because it hasn't rained. In general, I can recommend buying them.

After the very expensive Michelin of today, Hankook shows itself very worthy. On wet asphalt with deep ruts filled with water, the car went like on rails, the impression is quite good. It's hard to say about the noise, if you listen very closely, you might hear something at idle. But as for wear, I can't say anything yet. The tire is quite soft for me.

Excellent tires (made in China) are comfortable, not noisy, and hold the road well at high speeds!
In the mountains, they showed themselves to be excellent, grippy, with good handling!
They hold well on wet roads!
Mileage is over 6000, I recommend!

Before that, I drove on Michelin Primacy 3. Their 4th series never got a chance to try. But the Koreans were pleasantly surprised! Quiet, soft... comfort has reached a new level! Aquaplaning, like wear resistance, cannot be said, need to drive more. They hold the dry road perfectly. Braking is also good. I tried it on rough terrain - it's good, no cuts noticed. I didn't notice any difference in fuel consumption compared to Michelin. Although I have a diesel, which consumes little anyway. But the conclusion is unequivocal - an excellent replacement for Michelin!

The advantages are that it confidently holds the road, the tire noise is not heard on the road, it cuts through water

First impressions are good

When choosing, I compared between Hankook Ventus Prime 4, Kumho PS 71 and 91. Since I don't drive on the track, and Kumho options are closer to sporty driving (as stated in all comments), I chose Hankook.
I didn't make a mistake with my choice. It satisfies me in all aspects. It doesn't make noise, doesn't hum. It's quite soft.
The ideal balance of price and quality.

205/60/16 2.2 atm Made in China
Quiet, soft, weak sidewall, when driving onto a cut section of asphalt ~10 cm high at a speed of 10-15 km/h, a bulge (dent) appeared
brakes excellent: in comparison with Sailun Atrezzo Elite, it's heaven and earth; better than Nexen HD Plus, but worse than Pirelli Cinturato P7.
Does not wobble in the rut
Bought for 5600

Comfortable tires, grip on the road is very good both in the rain and on dry pavement.
