The Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 are both summer tyres, offering varied performances according to our tests and manufacturer data. We will compare these two models, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses to help you make the best choice.
The Maxxis Premitra HP5 has received an overall rating of 69%. The tyre has shown impressive performance in aquaplaning tests, offering superior safety reserves. It has been recognized for its great performance in both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning. However, the tyre has demonstrated shortcomings in its dry handling, with reviewers noting delayed steering response and mediocre grip level on both wet and dry surfaces. Furthermore, the Maxxis showed significantly reduced mileage and increased rolling resistance.
On the other hand, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, which replaced the earlier Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, performed exceptionally in our tests, achieving an overall rating of 81%. The Hankook Ventus Prime 4 showed superior performance in dry braking and handling, as well as wet braking. The tyre had a dynamic handling performance on both dry and wet surfaces, short dry braking distances, and a low rolling resistance. However, its mileage was only moderate.
In terms of test positions, in the Autobild test, the Maxxis ranked 16th out of 51, while the Hankook secured the second position, showing a remarkable performance difference. This demonstrates the Hankook's superior ratings and reviews in the majority of tests.
In conclusion, while the Maxxis Premitra HP5 offers good aquaplaning safety, it falls short in several key areas like dry handling and mileage. The Hankook Ventus Prime 4, on the other hand, offers an excellent performance in almost all areas, securing it a higher ranking in our tests and likely making it the better choice for most drivers.
