The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is a touring summer tyre from Pirelli with a rating of 89%, while its rival, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, is a similar summer tyre from Hankook with a rating of 77%. Both tyres have been tested and reviewed in multiple tyre tests, and this comparison aims to summarise the data from all of these tests.
At a glance, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 frequently outperformed the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 in most tyre tests, including those conducted by Aftonbladet and Autoklub ČR. The tyre's strengths lay in 'Aquaplaning - longitudinal', 'Comfort', and 'Rolling resistance' as rated by the Autobild review. However, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 certainly held its own, taking the 3rd position in the Autobild test on the strength of 'Aquaplaning - longitudinal' and 'Exterior noise'.
Diving a bit deeper, the data suggests that the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is a premium tyre with stable driving characteristics on both wet and dry tracks, with good feedback and safety reserves when aquaplaning. Its comfort is noted as particularly impressive. On the downside, the tyre tends to be at a higher price point and has slightly longer braking distances on dry tracks.
Meanwhile, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 is a branded tyre with convincing driving characteristics on both wet and dry tracks, with good safety reserves in aquaplaning. This tyre is noted for its quiet driving noise and very good price-performance ratio. However, it is seen as having just average comfort.
In general, it is clear that the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is the stronger performer overall, with better ratings in most tests. However, this is balanced by its higher price. The Hankook Ventus Prime 4, while not as highly rated, does provide excellent value for its cost, making it a solid choice for those on a budget.
Another important note is that the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 was replaced by the Pirelli Cinturato (C3). On the other hand, there is currently no newer model that has replaced the Hankook Ventus Prime 4.
In conclusion, if price is not a concern, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 appears to be the superior choice in terms of performance. However, for those looking for a balance of performance and price, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 is a worthy contender.
