Our comparison today features two summer tyres from reputable brands - the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4. Both tyres are known for their impressive performance in various conditions and have been included in a number of tests.
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, a successor to the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, scores highly in terms of comfort and rolling resistance. Particularly in wet handling and aquaplaning situations, it demonstrates exceptional safety reserves. Our rating for the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 stands at 86%, but it does have a higher price point and slightly extended dry braking distances as negatives. Pirelli, the manufacturer, is renowned for the quality and durability of their tyres.
On the other hand, we have the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, which holds a favourable position in tests thanks to its safety reserves in aquaplaning scenarios and overall low exterior noise. It replaced the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and has a good reputation for dry and wet handling. Our current rating for the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 is 81%. Although it provides a lower level of comfort as deducted from tests, it exhibits a very good price-performance ratio. The manufacturer, Hankook, has a proven record of producing reliable summer tyres.
In Autobild's test, out of 10 tyres, Pirelli stood 6th, and Hankook secured the 3rd position. In Autoklub ČR 's test of 19 tyres, Pirelli ranked 4th, while Hankook came 9th. It's also worth noting that in a comprehensive test by ADAC consisting of 50 tyres, Pirelli scored a position at 17th while Hankook performed better and secured the 9th position.
To conclude, while the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 has commendable strengths such as comfort, safety reserves, and good performance in aquaplaning situations, it falls behind in terms of price point and dry braking distances. The Hankook Ventus Prime 4 also exhibits strengths in terms of performance in both dry and wet areas, low exterior noise, and price-performance ratio, but lacks a bit in comfort. Both tyres performed admirably in the test scenarios, with Hankook seeming to emerge with a slight edge in the majority of the tests.
