Excellent tire at a good price. Much better than many premium brands.

This tire was initially mounted from the Hyundai factory, and so it was a real discovery for me. As an information, I live in the center of France, driving on mid mountain roads and highway mostly, with a bit of city. It performs really well on dry roads, giving a very good handling of the car. It even feels sporty if you push it around the corners on twisty roads, allowing very good turns and speed. During wet driving, it feels very reassuring, you can have a good confidence in the tires for any situation. On highways, it's very neutral and confortable, not very noisy during long journeys. With already 12 000 kms / 7 000 miles, the wear is very good, the tires have lost only 1 or 2 millimeters with my driving style.

Significantly better than Fulda SC 2 previously mounted. Still did not put them in really hard situations but so far excellent for everyday driving than Fulda.

My initial thoughts were great but problems started after I had my tires in storage over the winter when I had winter tires on. I had the tires stored in a ventilated, room temperature garage stacked on top of eachother laying down. When I took the tires out for the spring, I noticed that all 4 tires had gotten long hairline cracks lengthwise in the threadpattern. Easy to go unnoticed but if you looked for them, you'd find them. I had regular tire pressure all the time so it's not a case of overfilling either. I then drove them this summer 2021 without bigger issues but recently my car started vibrating a bit so I threw the wheels on a balancing machine where you could see that even if the rim was straight, the surface of the tire itself was uneven and wobbling both in height and sideways. I'll have to find new tires now after this winter season.

Even after 3rd summer this tyre’s braking performance is awesome. I feel safe while driving in heavy traffic, bumper to bumper. Once, I got rear-ended because of their superb braking performance. I don’t see much wear indication after all these years and distance traveled. If the rubber compound allows, I would probably go another 15000 miles and/or 3 years.

Great balanced tyres for a great price. They are mostly silent, I've always got precise feedback from them and they have been a joy to drive on. I'll buy again, and getting Hankook for my winter tyres too.

I drove this tires nearly 25000km only in summer mostly on motorways for 3 years. Aquaplaning is serious on wet surfaces especially when there are heavy rains. I'm satisfied on dry motorway. But I think they warn of too quickly. Currently tire treads are at 3,5mm I'm buying pirelli or goodyear

Superb dry grip!

I heard those were good tires, but I didn't expect to get so much. Excellent dry lateral grip and great feedback while staying comfortable. Perfect steering response on uneven pavement. I'm impressed by the fact that the unimportant things (gravel, potholes) are well filtered, but the feedback stays excellent and let you feel the sidewall slowly flexing with tons of safety margin. Not used under extreme rain so far, but it did well and felt safe in light rain. I only got two fitted at the front and kept Goodyear Vector gen3 at the back. It seems to be a good balance on a light car. No oversteer unless you really want it. Good fuel economy, quiet at highway speeds. Good value for the money and available in many sizes. I have heard the performance degrades after a few years, we'll see. I was hesitating with the Falken ZE310 that have similar test results and reviews, I just got the ones that were in stock.

Bought this to replace turanza er33 that came stock with yaris. I'm always willing to try new tyres and this is my first hankook. Positive: Excellent on dry. The grip is just excellent. No problem pushing the corner at excessive speeds. Very comfortable tyres. Softer sidewall. It turns my car ride quality. Cheap. One of the cheapest premium tyres on the market. Stability is just amazing for highway. Negative: Wet grip and braking is actually very good. But it just float over the water puddle. Very dangerous for me. This is the main reason I'll skip this tyre for the future. If you're looking for stiffer sidewall then never consider this tyre. Its soft and the feedback is just very dull. Conclusion: If you're looking for a cheap tyres with superb dry grip. This is just the beat choice. As long you didn't need to drive a lot through water puddle. Definitely get a good impression about hankook. Except the scary aquaplanning part

The Hankook K125 tyres replaced a set of Bridgestone RE003s. Initial impressions - really quite compared to the Bridgestone tyres. Now after 9000miles, the road noise is similarly loud when compared to the Bridgestone but still better than the OE GY tyres. Dry grip is really good (even when driving spiritedly), but when the surface is damp or wet, there is a lack of confidence in the tyres. The feedback from the tyres to the steering can become vague especially in the wet. It can go from talkative to a lack of feedback. You will need to slow down to get comfortable again. Wear rate is still good, but noticed that the tyre can wear away really quick if the alignment is not sufficiently good enough. It took only about 100km from new to wear away the alignment marks on one of the tyres due to a by the shop initially giving it a tad more toe on one side (but still inside specifications). By far, the Ventus Prime 3 is the most comfortable tyres put on the car yet. It absolutely loves tyre pressures that are around 28-32psi, and absolutely hates higher tyre pressures. There is a tendency to bounce the occupants around if you even dare to inflate beyond 34psi. Was told by the tyre shop, that this tyre was suppose to help with the fuel economy when compared to the Bridgestone. Yes and no is an answer that I have. If you travel long distances (over 100kms in a single trip) then yes, fuel economy is realised. Otherwise, there is no differences.

Very good tire for comfort emphasized cars
