In our tyre test comparison, we spotlight two popular summer touring tyres, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun. Originally, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 succeeded the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 model.
Ranking at 85% on our rating scale, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 has performed well in multiple tests, displaying noteworthy strengths, such as short wet braking distances, very good dry handling, and short dry braking. However, weaknesses like low aquaplaning resistance and high external noise have been observed. Notably, in the Autobild test, it held an impressive second position among 51 tyres grabbing top marks for features like aquaplaning - longitudinal, exterior noise, dry braking, dry handling, and wet braking.
On the other hand, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, made in Turkey, holds a rating of 81% with some key highlights like dynamic dry handling, good safety reserves during aquaplaning, and short dry braking distances through Autobild and ADAC tyre test results. However, it has some limiting factors, such as restricted mileage and slight weaknesses in environmental balance and efficiency noted in TyreReviews.com 2023.
Furthermore, in Vibilagare's tyre test, this tyre managed to secure the 4th position among 9 tyres, outpacing the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, which got the 6th position. There was a similar result in the ADAC test where the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun ranked 6th among 50 tyres, once again surpassing Hankook Ventus Prime 4's 9th position.
To summarize, while Hankook Ventus Prime 4, from manufacturer Hankook, excels in dry handling and braking, and has a fairly good rating, its low aquaplaning resistance and external noise may cause some inconvenience. The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, from Falken, despite slightly lower rating, demonstrates a good all-around performance making it a reliable summer-tyre option. However, there are slight drawbacks in terms of tyre life and environmental efficiency. Consider your specific driving conditions and preferences when choosing between these two competent summer tyres.
