I used to love this tire. Have fitted it on both cars. Soft, good handling esp in wet, comfortable, low noise. Handling and braking becomes less efficient in very hot roads. But the main disadvantage which led me back to michelin tires is the weak sidewall. I ve torn two almost new tires just by touching edges of the sidewall. Michelin would not notice. Never again

Undoubtedly one of the best tires in the premium segment, with excellent value for money. They provide an excellent grip and driving experience, regardless of the condition of the road surface. I recommend them!

Get this fullset new tire replace my old tire Michelin Primacy 3ST in Feb 2024...this new model tire from Hankook are really something...this tire perform well in my country with hot weather (tropical) and heavy rain...quiet, comfy, good rolling resistance, most important is it have good balance tire and no vibration in low speed or high speed..push hard in curve/twisty road with no problem in dry grip..already test speeding at highway in rainy day, speeding 14+ kmh car is very stable.. i personally feel this tire perform very well and good compare to previous tire i used (Michelin Primacy 3ST)...definitely will buy this set Hankook Ventus Prime 4 again..

The tires were bought new this year. It may be a little early for a concrete test and description, but still...the tires "behave" fantastically. The grip is excellent (even now, when it's 4 degrees in the morning). They are quiet and relatively comfortable. Road feedback is perfect (unlike the previous GYs). For once, the "fuel" consumption is quite high compared to the previous tires (GY EP2) (about 20% higher), but time will tell when they are a little more worn (rolling resistance of new ones) and warmer outside - EV is particularly "sensitive" here (rolling resistance)! In summary, an extremely good tire for a very very good price. I would definitely buy it again!

Overall a very good tire. Had zero issues with them except excessive wear. Mostly country road driving mixed with some highways from time to time. No spirited driving at all really, just according to speed limits.

All in all it is a good handling tire, safe in all conditions but after 18000km the tires are down to the wear indicator. At this point the tires feels very odd and not trustworthy. I will not buy hankook tires after this excessive wear and strange feeling at the end of tires life.

The best summer tire I drove was the Continental premium contact. And I wanted to try something different, and I need to say that I didn't regret, hankook ventus prime 4 is very good replacement. I am more than satisfied, and I would recommend that tire.
Thanks

Good quality, quiet, soft and resistant tire. Provides excellent rim protection and good cornering agility. I put on 4 new tires about a month ago to replace some Michelin Primacy 4, and it was definitely an upgrade over the original tires, especially in terms of comfort and noise. When I need to change tires in the future, I'll certainly choose the same ones, I recommend them!

A very good mid range tire , soo impressed fitted a set to the wifes car. car feels planted and quiet , my last set was the goodyear asy 6 which was dredfull.

Previously was using Goodyear Triplemax 2 at the front and Ventus Prime 3 at the rear. Changed all 4 to Ventus Prime 4 just a few days ago and here is the difference -

Positive points
1. Less understeer
2. Felt the car glides smoother on the road.

Negative points
1. Slightly less steering feel.

I will update more as I drive.

When new: grip on dry and wet was very good. Always had a good feedback. Low noise and fuel consumption normal. But the tire came new with 6.5 mm. Ok, they were cheap. Now they have 2-3 mm and they really got bad now. Especially in the rain. I would not buy them again. To high wear.

I replaced my OEM Toyo Proxes R55a in185/60/16 to 195/55/16 and I'm very happy cause they have excellent grip in all conditions, brakes, fuel consumption, cornering, and good comfort as well....it's a perfect choice...so amazing in good price!! I would buy it again!!!

Hi,


I had left a review a few months back and want to share my updated mid term review.

1) the tires still hold/handle like they did when new
2) they are still smoother then any competitor I have used
3) though smoother then competition they are somewhat stiffer when compared to brand new state, I did replace them with a new set to check and I can confirm the new set is about %20 smoother but please dont be fooled from this comment they definately are smoother then any competition period.

4) the only area I would give them 6-7 stars is wear, they arent your typical 60-70k km tires like bridgestone or pirelli with hard compound,they are a much smoother compound and obviously wear faster, I would say you would probably get 30000km's out of a pair without signs of wear and by 40000km they would definatley need replacement, not bad but not great either however again compaired to the price and what it has to offer this is actually a very good result.
