Today, we will be comparing two top-rated summer touring tyres, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Continental PremiumContact 7.
The Ventus Prime 4 is an upgrade from the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125, retaining the same crucial features but boosting overall performance. Rated highly at our site with an 85% score, this Hankook model held the 4th and 6th positions in Autobild and Vibilagare tests respectively, guaranteeing top-quality longevity and noise reduction. Unfortunately, it displayed a weakness in aquaplaning resistance and generated high external noise.
Next, we have the Continental PremiumContact 7, a successor of the PremiumContact 6 and ContiPremiumContact 5. Flawless in its performance, earning a perfect 100% rating on our site, the Continental model scored the 1st position in many tests including Autobild, Vibilagare, and ADAC. Its optimal dry handling, braking, and rolling resistance were highlighted as its best features. Although, it displayed some weaknesses in aquaplaning behaviour and was perceived as relatively heavy.
In mutual test situations, the Continental PremiumContact 7 outperformed the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 in several categories. The PremiumContact 7 especially outshone in areas of wet and dry braking, cornering, and handling ability. Although the Hankook tyre showed its strength in dry handling and aquaplaning performance, the Continental model demonstrated a seemed greater grip and control in these tests.
Despite the Hankook Ventus Prime 4's commendable performance, the Continental PremiumContact 7 emerged as the more superior tyre based on the test results. The Continental tyre, in essence, attained better results in handling, braking, and fuel efficiency, despite its slight weakness in aquaplaning resistance.
Both Hankook and Continental have demonstrated excellent quality control over their product lines. Still, if overall performance is a deciding factor, the Perfect Continental model holds a slight edge in this particular comparison.
Always consider the typical driving conditions you face and choose a tyre that will perform optimally in those specific situations. Stay tuned for more tyre comparisons and reviews.
