Today, we examine two summer tyres - the DoubleCoin DC99 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4. The prior does not come with a predecessor or a successor in its line, while the latter is the updated model of the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125.
Test results from Autobild have shown quite a difference in their outcomes. Hankook Ventus Prime 4, produced by Hankook, took a commendable 4th place out of 55 tested tyres, asserting its impressive quality. However, the DoubleCoin DC99 did not fare as well, ranking at 54th place.
Hankook Ventus Prime 4
A summary from autobild 2021 praises the Ventus Prime 4 for its dynamic behaviour on both wet and dry roads and short dry braking distances. However, it does mention a mediocre mileage. TyreReviews.com 2023 supports this, adding that it performs well on both dry and wet roads, although there's a slight weakness in aquaplaning and efficiency.
It's clear from the reviews that the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 is generally a well-rounded tyre, excelling in various conditions, although not perfect. It was also ranked 9th in ADAC tests involving 50 tyres, further supporting its reliability.
DoubleCoin DC99
On the other hand, the DoubleCoin DC99 was praised by TyreReviews.com 2023 for its high mileage and low wear, however, it noted severe weaknesses in dry conditions and potentially dangerous weaknesses in wet conditions. A noticeable aspect was its low noise, a significant feature for comfortable drives. The ADAC test also ranked it at 49 out of 50 tyres.
In conclusion, while the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 has been proven to have a more consistent and reliable performance across all tested fields, the DoubleCoin DC99 does bear its specific strengths, like less noise.
Your selection between the two should rely upon your specific tyre requirements. If you're looking for a well-rounded, high-performing tyre, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 would be the better choice. Yet, if you're looking for a high-mileage, low-noise tyre and can compensate for the less than ideal handling in certain conditions, the DoubleCoin DC99 could be a potential choice.
