When comparing the Toyo Proxes Comfort and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, several key points come to light. These two tyres have been closely examined in several tests, providing a comprehensive view of their strengths and weaknesses. While both are summer touring tyres, they showcase different capabilities across varying conditions.
Toyo Proxes Comfort
Manufactured in Japan, the Toyo Proxes Comfort received an overall rating of 66% on our platform. Across the tests, Toyo Proxes Comfort excelled in dry handling and braking, also scoring points for its performance in longitudal aquaplaning. However, it was noted to have adequate qualities during aquaplaning and its performance on uneven surfaces was described as 'moderate'. Other strengths include low noise, very low rolling resistance and balanced safe driving behaviour on both wet and dry roads. However, extended wet braking and average dry and wet handling were listed as drawbacks. Ultimately, in a field of 50 tyres tested by ADAC, it achieved 14th place, while ranking 9th in a test of 51 tyres by Autobild.
Hankook Ventus Prime 4
Moving onto the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, this model boasts a solid rating of 81%. It performed well in areas such as longitudal aquaplaning, dry braking, dry handling, and even scored points for its low exterior noise. It was also praised for its good off-road capabilities and balanced handling on both wet and dry surfaces. Test reviewers highlighted its fuel-saving rolling resistance, sporty steering behaviour and short wet braking distances. However, weaknesses were noticed in aquaplaning reserves and the model's environmental balance and efficiency were not its strongest points. Despite these minor drawbacks, it secured the impressive 2nd position in the Autobild test amongst 51 tyres and 9th position in the ADAC's test
In conclusion, in the comparison between the Toyo Proxes Comfort and the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, the latter shows a more balanced performance and ranks higher in tests. Both tyres provide solid comfort and performance, but the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 offers more outstanding features and scores higher in tests overall. However, the choice may come down to individual preference depending on the specific needs of the driver and vehicle.
