In the world of summer tyres, two often come up for comparison - The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 and the Continental PremiumContact 6. Manufactured by leading brands Hankook and Continental respectively, these models present interesting points of comparison, especially based on the results from various influential testing organizations.
According to the tests, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 performs consistently across the board, with positions ranging from 4th to 7th place among a pool of 9 to 11 total tyres in the test. This tyre particularly excels in 'dry driving behaviour', 'exterior noise' and 'wet braking' according to the ACE test where it held the 4th position. However, it is yet to achieve a place in the top three in any of the tests.
On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 6 consistently secures positions within the top 3 in all tests, making it a high-performing competitor. It performs exceptionally well in 'dry driving behaviour' as revealed in ACE's test. It's worth noting that this tyre is a successor to the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, indicating its legacy of quality. Additionally, it also has a successor, the Continental PremiumContact 7.
Considered as a touring tyre, it has been manufactured in Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This tyre has really set the bar high in the category of summer tyres with a commendable rating of 83% from our site.
In conclusion, when overall performance in various tests is the primary criterion, the Continental PremiumContact 6 emerges as a superior choice. Conversely, if you are specifically looking for superior noise levels and wet braking performance, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 could be your ideal tyre. However, unlike the Continental tyre, it hasn't been replaced by a newer model yet. These unique characteristics and strengths provide consumers with options that cater to various needs helping you choose the right tyre based on your specific requirements.
