Review on Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 205/55 R16 91H summer by Wiktor Redziski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Dimension: 235/65 R17 104H Kia Sorento XM FL as the vehicle Prior to that, there was the Nexen N8000. When I was changing wheels, the first thing I needed was rubber that was less noisy. I won't say that the Nexen was really noisy because there wasn't any noise in the car, but while we were driving over bumpy pavement, which happens to be rather common in St. Petersburg, the noise was annoying. As a consequence of this, I did not make a mistake when selecting new wheels for the automobile because the wheels contributed significantly less noise to the vehicle. This is an excellent option for the price that you're paying. Even though I am a calm driver who occasionally enjoys driving with the windows down and my vehicle is not a sports car, I am very content with the purchase I made. Perhaps premium tires are superior, but given that I am a calm driver and my vehicle is not a sports car, I am quite content with my purchase. It holds the road wonderfully, brakes predictably, does not notice the rut, and in heavy rain there are no symptoms of aquaplaning (specially "dived" into a rut with water at speeds of 80-90 kilometers per hour). Even though it did not come close to the top performers in any of the tests involving this criterion, I was hoping for a little bit greater efficiency. Both the old tires and this one are road tires, but the feeling still does not leave the sensation that Nexen at 0.2-0.3 liters per 100 km allowed to spend less, which, in general, is within the margin of error. Despite this, the feeling still does not leave the feeling that Nexen at 0.2-0.3 liters per 100 km allowed to spend less. Now, in terms of wear, I would like to think that it will not fall behind Nexen, which has driven approximately 50,000 kilometers, but I can't say for sure.

Pros
  • Calm, tackiness, relative softness, and excellent resistance to hydroplaning
Cons
  • It could be a little more thrifty, but at this point I'm just picking tiny little details.
