Hankook's strength was in wet and dry braking, as observed in AutoBild tests. Other tests by AutoMotorSport highlighted its dry lane changing and wet handling abilities. However, there were criticisms about its below-average mileage from autobild 2023 and autobild 2022 noted some discomfort in rolling comfort.
