Review on Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 235/65 R17 104H summer by Adam Tomasz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Tires are 235/65R17 104H in size. To drive, a Kia Sorento XM FL Prior to the Nexen N8000 When looking to upgrade my wheels, I prioritized finding quieter rubber. In the automobile, Nexen wasn't particularly noisy, but it became annoying when driving over the bumpy pavement that is common in St. Petersburg. So, it turns out that I didn't make a mistake when I upgraded the wheels on my automobile. This is an excellent option for the cost. Maybe premium tires are superior, but my car is not a sports car, and I am a calm driver who occasionally enjoys driving with the windows down, so I am quite happy with my purchase. No signs of aquaplaning were observed in heavy rain (the vehicle was intentionally "dived" into a rut filled with water at speeds of 80-90 km/h). It held the road perfectly, braked predictably, and did not notice the rut. While it is not far behind the front-runners in efficiency, I had hoped for a little more. The old tires and the new ones are both road tires, but you can't shake the idea that you could save between 0.2 and 0.3 liters per 100 kilometers by switching to Nexen. This is well within the range of error. As for its durability, I hope it holds up better than the 50,000-kilometer-plus-traveled Nexen.

Pros
  • Smooth, smooth, quiet, and resistant to hydroplaning.
Cons
  • Could be slightly more cost-effective, but I'm picking at nits here.
