In this comparison, we're looking at two high-performance summer tyres: the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 and the Continental SportContact 6. These tyres have been put through rigorous tests by Autobild and Sportscars, providing us with valuable information on their performance characteristics.
Taking first place in both the Autobild and Sportscars tests, the Continental SportContact 6 clearly outperformed the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117. The SportContact 6 excelled in dry braking, dry handling, exterior noise, and wet circle cornering capabilities, marking it as a leader in both dry and wet conditions. Furthermore, our website awarded this tyre with an impressive rating of 77%, noting it as a superior choice.
Though the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 didn't top the tests, it shouldn't be disregarded. It's been commended for its low exterior noise and rolling resistance. An efficient choice if noise reduction and fuel economy are the topmost factors for you, as these are crucial for long-distance, comfortable rides. You can find more about this tyre on its dedicated page.
It's worth noting that the Continental SportContact 6 has been replaced by a newer SportContact 7 model, indicating ongoing technological improvements from Continental. On the other hand, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 continues without a successor model.
In conclusion, the Continental SportContact 6 currently leads the duo overall — especially if performance under both dry and wet conditions is your main concern. However, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 is a fair competitor, particularly for quieter and more fuel-efficient journeys.
Remember, the final choice must take into consideration your specific driving conditions and requirements. Be sure to review both tyres in detail before making a decision. Compare other Hankook and Continental tyres to make an informed choice.
