When it comes to choosing between the Gt Radial Fe2 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, a thorough comparison of test results, reviews, and tyre characteristics is essential.
Starting with the Gt Radial Fe2, a UHP (Ultra-High Performance) tyre, its performance in tests was somewhat underwhelming. In the Autobild test with 55 total tyres, the FE2 came in at 19th place. The ADAC test also reaffirmed its mediocre performance where it ended up at the 22nd place out of 50 tyres. The strengths of the tyre were summarized as being good on dry roads and decent efficiency. However, its significant weaknesses include unbalanced performance, struggling on wet surfaces, low mileage, and considerable environmental and sustainability shortcomings.
On the other hand, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, a touring summer tyre that replaced its predecessor, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, has consistently performed better in tests. In the Autobild test, it secured a strong position at 4th, and also performed well in the ADAC test at the 9th position. The Ventus Prime 4 showcased it strengths with its balanced performance and solid performance on both dry and wet surfaces. However, it does fall short in certain aspects such as slight difficulty with aquaplaning, minor environmental flaws, and some limitations in efficiency.
To summarize, if you prioritize balanced performance and high-class handling in various weather conditions, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 would be the more fitting choice, despite its slight weaknesses. However, if you seldom drive on wet roads and mostly prefer dry conditions, the Gt Radial Fe2 could also be considered as a cost-effective alternative that offers satisfactory dry performance.
