Max Performance SummerPerformance
Hankook Ventus Prime 2
The Bottom Line
The Ventus Prime 2 is a good choice for drivers prioritizing wet grip and balanced handling, especially in rainy regions. However, its unusual 'R' speed rating may not meet the expectations of those seeking high-speed performance typically associated with this category.
Important Note
The 'R' speed rating is a mismatch for a max performance summer tire, which could be a concern for high-speed enthusiasts.
Pros
- Wet grip score of 9, which is impressive for a max performance summer tire, ensuring confidence in rainy conditions.
- Dry grip and handling both score 8, providing a balanced performance for spirited driving.
- Treadwear rating of 300 is reasonable for the category, suggesting a decent lifespan for a performance-focused tire.
Cons
- Comfort score of 6 indicates a firmer ride, which may be less suitable for daily driving compared to competitors.
- Noise level at 6.5 might be noticeable on longer drives, especially compared to quieter options like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2).
- Speed rating of 'R' is unusual for a max performance summer tire, potentially limiting its suitability for high-speed applications.
