<p>My reasons for purchasing the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 tyres was their reputation for producing tyres that have excellent wet weather grip and a balanced circle of comfort noise and wear this has been proven in the year and mileage travelled in all conditions since purchase</p>

<p>After 46k kms on the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, the noise levels has slightly elevated, but grip levels remain acceptable even when wet. Would recommend them again. Currently running General AltiMAX GS6s.</p>

<p>6 Months is very hot over 30 Celsius, summer is well over 36 to 38. Imagine how hot is the road.
I did not expect to last long but they got stiff and traction is not that good. I mean from 1.5 liter engine producing 150hp and 250nm torque you dont expect to spin wheels with 2nd when you just get in boost with 2000rpm. If you push it in corners traction take over because the outer well spin like crazy. The compound was suppose to become softer in summer, but NO, is getting harder. Imagine in winter. This is the 1st time i put Hankook and the last. For me Dunlop, Goodyear or Michelin.</p>

★★★☆☆

<p>Tires are great for the price, they hold well in the dry and wet, aquaplaning doesn't feel as solid like on the Uniroyal rainsport 3 i had before, but nonetheless they perform excellent, braking is also excellent, they hold on snow and cold climate, I had to drive 30khm on snow and they did a great job. I drove those ventus prime 4s really hard, primarily on mountain passes so constant cornering, on an audi a4 1.8t quattro, after 15.000khm they were down to the indicators sure i could go more, they still performed great, no issues. Probably awd and hard cornering played a crucial role to them wear down so fast. Anyway overall a great tire !</p>
