Review on Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 205/55 R16 91H summer by Micha Jelonek ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

contrasting the Ventus Prime 3 with the Hankook K435 Kinergy Eco 2 and the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 in the same size and on the same machine. I decided to use Ventus Prime 3 instead of Michelin after reading reviews and watching magazine tests, but I quickly regretted it:) The car's nature changed; taxiing was no longer enjoyable. As the speed increased, the ride was choppy, shifted from dry to puddle, and did not leave enough room for emergency braking. Turns have considerably slower speeds, and if you add anything, the trajectory changes, which the PS4 did not have, of course. For 90% of drivers, Prime 3 is sufficient, but if you're used to driving aggressively and at the limit, the tire will give out and stop working (in fact, the tire is similar to Kinergy Eco 2), and Prime 3 and PS4 handle and brake drastically differently (!) despite all reliable tests and eurolabels. You should most likely insert the scale "A +++"))) Outcome" for Michelin. In Prime3, there aren't many sports; it's more like eco. If you have options in between because PS4 is too athletic for me, let me know in the comments!

Pros
  • Affordable, quiet, nice rolling, among the lightest among competitors, and the rubber compound appears to be sturdy
Cons
  • Did not meet expectations; see comments for further information.
