Hankook Ventus Prime4 Tires

The Hankook Ventus Prime4 (K135) is a premium high-performance summer touring tire designed for passenger cars, focusing on improved comfort, low noise, and high mileage. This Hankook tire offers superior dry handling, reduced rolling resistance, and a 3D block design to minimize noise and improve braking. It is marketed toward drivers seeking a balance of high performance, fuel efficiency, and long-lasting comfort for daily driving. The Hankook Ventus Prime4 tire is known as a "premium comfort" tire, available in sizes ranging from 16 to 20-inches.

Key features and benefits:

* Seasonal use—as a summer performance tire (not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice)
* The 3D zigzag tread design increases the frictional force of the blocks during deformation, leading to more direct steering response and stability during sporty cornering on dry roads
* Incorporates "knurling" technology inside the groove walls and an increased number of tread blocks to reduce tire noise and cabin noise for a quieter, smoother ride
* Uses an advanced compound designed for low wear, offering a significant increase in mileage compared to its predecessor, and also reduces rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency
* Performance Trade-offs, while excellent in many areas, some tests suggest its wet performance might be considered only fair compared to top-tier competitors Show Less
