Review on Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 225/55 R18 98V summer by Micha Dbrowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Dimension: 235/65 R17 104H Car: Kia Sorento XM FL Before there were: Nexen N8000 When changing wheels, first of all I wanted less noisy rubber. I won’t say that Nexen was very noisy, rather there was no noise in the car, but on rough pavement, which is quite a lot in St. Petersburg, the noise annoyed. As a result, I was not mistaken with the choice of new wheels, the car really became less noise from the wheels. For the money, this is a very good choice. Maybe premium tires will be better, but given the fact that I am a calm driver, although sometimes I like to drive with the breeze, my car is not a sports car, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. It holds the road perfectly, brakes predictably, does not notice the rut, in heavy rain there are no hints of aquaplaning (specially "dived" into a rut with water at speeds of 80-90 km / h). I expected a little more efficiency, although in all tests in this parameter it is not close to the leaders. Both the old tires and this one are road tires, but the feeling still does not leave the feeling that Nexen at 0.2-0.3 liters per 100 km allowed to spend less, which, in general, is within the margin of error. Well, I would like to believe that in terms of wear it will not yield to Nexen, which has traveled about 50,000 kilometers.

Pros
  • Quiet, grippy, fairly soft, good resistance to hydroplaning
Cons
  • Could be a little more economical, but this is already nit-picking
