When comparing two popular summer tyres, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, many factors must be considered, including their performance in multiple respected car and tyre tests.
Beginning with the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, which is produced in Hungary and was originally used for the Citroën C3 Aircross. This model triumphed in the dry road tests, displaying quality dry driving behavior, dry handling, and dry braking, as seen in ACE, AutoMotorSport and AutoBild tests. The model also stood out for its low exterior noise as tested by ACE and Autozeitung. However, it did not perform as strongly overall, holding positions such as 7th out of 9 in ACE test and 6th out of 11 in AutoMotorSport. An essential mention is that Hankook has released the newer model, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, which replaced this tyre.
On the other hand, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance made in Slovenia showcased impressively in wet and dry conditions. It was commended for its dry handling, wet handling and impressive rolling resistance in the ACE test and secured an overall position of 6th out of 9. The tyre also held a strong 4th position out of 11 in the AutoMotorSport test and an even better 3rd place in the Autozeitung test. It's worth noting that Goodyear has subsequently produced the Efficient Grip Performance 2, which superseded this model.
Based on the overall tests and reviews, Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance seems to have an edge over the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 with a higher overall rating of 79% against Hankook's 72%. Goodyear's model delivers robust performance both under wet and dry conditions. Its good rolling resistance contributes to a more economical drive in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. However, the Hankook tyre is worth considering if low noise and dry handling are your main priorities.
