Review on Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 225/55 R18 98V summer by Jnis Bukovskis ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

Comparing Ventus Prime 3 with MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 and Hankook K435 Kinergy Eco 2 all in the same size and on the same machine. After watching magazine tests and reading reviews, I took Ventus Prime 3 instead of Michelin, but was disappointed and returned back after a season :) The nature of the car changed, taxiing no longer brought pleasure, with an increase in speed, the ride became uncertain, slipped from dry to puddle, and did not give a margin for emergency braking. In turns, the speed is much lower, if you add something you leave the trajectory, which of course was not on the PS4. For 90% of motorists, Prime 3 is enough, but if you are used to driving actively and to the limit, then the tire gives way and will not give drive (in fact, the tire is close to Kinergy Eco 2) and there is an abyss (!) in handling and braking between Prime 3 and PS4 despite on any authoritative tests and eurolabels. Probably for Michelin you need to enter the scale "A +++"))) Outcome. Prime3 lacks a lot of sports, more like eco. PS4 is too sporty for me, I want something in between, if you have such options, write in the comments!

Pros
  • Economical, good rolling, quiet, one of the lightest among competitors, the rubber compound looks solid
Cons
  • Did not live up to expectations, more in the comments.
