On a tyre tests website, a comparison between two popular models is indispensable. Today, we delve into the test results and reviews of two summer tyres: Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2.
Let's start with the Hankook Ventus Prime 4. This item, produced by Hankook, holds an overall rating of 85% on our site. Among the multiple tests it underwent, it best showcased its potential in the Autobild test, where it ranked 3rd out of 10. The standout features were its performance in Aquaplaning - longitudal and Exterior noise. However, it had a shortcoming when it came to aquaplaning resistance and external noise levels in the Autobild 2024 test.
Now, moving on to the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, a product of Pirelli. Our site rates it at a strong 92%. It ranked 6th in the same Autobild test, with top marks for Comfort and Rolling resistance, as well as Aquaplaning - longitudal, its only minor downside was a slightly extended dry braking distance. When compared to the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 in the Autoklub test, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 finished a notable 4th in a field of 19.
It's noteworthy that the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 has replaced the previous model Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 whereas the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 took over from the Pirelli P7 Cinturato.
In terms of strengths, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 impresses with short wet braking distances and good handling, whilst the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 shines with stable driving characteristics both on wet and dry tracks. Pirelli's summer profile also offers great safety reserves in case of aquaplaning and superior comfort.
However, every tyre has its weaknesses. For example, the Hankook tyre offers lower resistance to aquaplaning and has higher external noise levels compared to competitors. The Pirelli tyre, while being a premium product, can lead to extended dry braking distances and comes at a higher price level.
In conclusion, between the two, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 - with its better overall rating and performance on both wet and dry tracks - might be a more appealing choice for shoppers. However, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 holds its own thanks to its exceptional braking and noise performances.
