One of the standout models is the **Hankook Ventus Prime 4**, the successor to the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125. This tyre has garnered attention in multiple tests conducted in 2024. The Ventus Prime 4 earned an exemplary rating from Autobild for its impressive handling on both wet and dry surfaces, excellent aquaplaning resistance, and quiet ride, though it was noted for average comfort levels. It also secured a good rating from ADAC, highlighting its satisfactory performance.
Another noteworthy tyre is the **Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z K129**, which has demonstrated reliable performance across several tests. This tyre was praised for its agile handling and strong braking performance in wet conditions. However, it showed a tendency to oversteer, particularly on wet and dry surfaces.

In 2024, it received a very good rating from Automotorsport for its dynamic wet handling and high grip levels.

Lastly, the **Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127** has been recommended for its balanced performance and dynamic handling. Evaluated extensively in 2023 and 2024 tests, it received commendations for its braking capabilities and fuel-efficient rolling resistance, albeit with some concerns about its aquaplaning safety reserves and mileage performance.
