Max Performance SummerBest Value
Hankook Ventus Prime4
The Bottom Line
The Ventus Prime4 is a suitable choice for drivers who value treadlife and handling in a budget-friendly package. However, its unusual 'R' speed rating may be a dealbreaker for those requiring higher speed capabilities.
Important Note
The 'R' speed rating is a significant limitation for a max performance summer tire, potentially restricting its use on high-speed vehicles.
Pros
- UTQG treadwear rating of 340 exceeds the category average of 302, suggesting potentially longer treadlife for a max performance summer tire.
- Handling score of 5 is competitive within the category, providing decent responsiveness for spirited driving.
Cons
- Lack of specific scores for dry and wet grip makes it difficult to assess its performance against competitors like the Ventus S1 evo3.
- No treadwear mileage warranty, which is common in this category but still worth noting for buyers focused on longevity.
- Speed rating of 'R' is unusual for a max performance summer tire, potentially limiting its appeal for high-speed enthusiasts.
