Tyre reviews Hankook K135 Ventus Prime 4. Страница 3 1172

I was choosing between Conti and this tire. I opted for Hankook, since my previous ones were Hankook Ventus Prime 2 and I could more or less imagine what to expect from these.
In principle, my expectations were met.
The tire behaves predictably on both dry and wet asphalt.
The noise level is not bad. On fresh asphalt, it's almost inaudible.
In general, everything suits me.

Made in China end of 2022.

On asphalt surfaces it is very good in the city and on the highway, soft, elastic, quite quiet, fuel-efficient, does not require periodic balancing, has a wide operating temperature range, does not squeal in turns within reasonable limits, decent in wet weather.

Very good tires! Holds very well

I bought Hankook as a replacement for Continental, I thought for a long time, the assembly is Chinese. But in this price segment, there aren't many options now. I always bypass Chinese goods, but what can you do, European and Japanese tires are not cheap now. Initially, when the car was new, I was already driving on Hankook Optimo, so I had some idea of the brand. In general, not bad, the first impressions are a confident four. Moderately noisy, but not critically, on a slippery road they behave confidently, the car does not skid on turns, and they handle puddles normally. I hope that as they wear in, they will become quieter.

The delivery was very long, almost 2 weeks, they were brought to the Moscow region from another region. What's the point, were they not available in Moscow? More than strange, they were dismantled, few were delivered, not popular or what else can be thought of? The release date is the end of autumn 2022. In the end, I can recommend these tires for the money.

Two out of four wheels have a geometry defect. Oval! When applying for a wheel replacement, they said they couldn't help with anything!

Balanced somewhere 10-60 on two wheels. The rest 10-20. Drove 4000

In the rain, it holds normally, but I won't say it's better than Nokian Hakkas, which I used to drive on. I don't understand whether it's the tires or something else in the steering, but as soon as there's a barely noticeable or completely unnoticeable groove, minor damage to the road surface, I feel a reactive action on the steering wheel, it wants to constantly adjust by 2-3°

I bought 2 front wheels. The choice is not great in the current situation, mainly China and Russia. I had experience with Korean tires, I was disappointed after receiving them, as they were indicated to be made in China. There is no alternative, I installed them. During the operation, there are no complaints. They are quite quiet and not stiff at all, and they confidently hold the road in the rain. By next season, I will update the other two tires to the same Hankook.

I'm using the first season. Size 205x50 R17. I drive around 4500-5000 kilometers per month. I've driven in heavy rain and the handling was no worse than on dry asphalt. For the given mileage (a considerable distance on rural roads), the tread wear is less than half of the initial depth. I wouldn't say they're noisy. The car rides smoothly. I haven't noticed a significant change in fuel consumption compared to Pirelli Cinturato (which were installed by the manufacturer). The price is in the middle range (for this size). When driving, I have a calm style, so I can't say anything about the speed characteristics. Braking is confident. I would buy them again.

The tires performed great, handling is excellent on the "5". Haven't tested in the rain yet. As for noise, it's generally excellent. I'm satisfied and I recommend! Time will tell for the rest.

Good quiet soft rubber. Course stability is decent, on wet surface it behaves very confidently, braking is excellent. A slight hum on grainy abrasive asphalt, but it's not critical.
