When it comes to ultra high-performance summer tyres, Pirelli's P ZER0 PZ4 and Hankook's Ventus S1 evo3 K127 are top contenders. However, a closer look at both tyres' performance and rankings shows some critical differences.
The Pirelli P ZER0 PZ4 is a renowned tyre in the industry, holding a rating of 93% on our platform. It doesn't have a predecessor and hasn't been replaced by a newer model yet. According to various tests, this tyre particularly shines in wet handling and is ranked fifth in ACE’s test among ten tyres. Furthermore, it was the third-best tyre out of 50 in Autobild's test, excelling in aspects like aquaplaning, dry & wet handling, braking, and noise reduction. It also ranks third in the Autozeitung test, demonstrating excellent dry lane changing, wet circle cornering, and wet handling capabilities. However, autobild 2023 notes its limited mileage and high cost as downsides.
On the other hand, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127, made in South Korea, has a rating of 81%. Its first equipment includes high-end vehicles such as Audi Q8, Audi SQ8, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X3. Although it doesn’t excel in the ACE test, ranking seventh, it proved its mettle in the Autobild test, earning the first position out of 50 tyres. The tyre showed its strengths in wet and dry braking. However, it doesn't perform as well in Autozeitung's test, placing ninth. Autobild 2023's test also revealed that it offers convincing performance and agile handling but falls short in mileage.
Overall, both the Pirelli P ZER0 PZ4 and Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 are excellent choices for drivers seeking high-performance summer tyres. However, the Pirelli tyre seems to have a slight edge, reflected in its higher overall ratings, particularly in wet conditions. Conversely, the Hankook tyre has proven to be superior in braking performance but struggles in mileage. Ultimately, the choice will depend on the driver's specific needs and preferences.
