Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been nine tests which compare both tires directly!

Out of these nine tests:

  • Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 finished ahead of the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 in five of the tests
  • Hankook Ventus Prime 4 finished ahead of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 in four of the tests

While it might look like the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is better than the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Dry Braking

Looking at data from nine tire tests, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 was better during seven dry braking tests. On average the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 stopped the vehicle in 1.62% less distance than the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
