Hankook Ventus Prime 4 vs BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 — Compared

“Tried it out on 205/55R16 Grip wise, feels like similar grip level as previous Tyres. Quite good on dry, quick lane switch wun feel the Tyre wall lembeh over. Dry brake is good. Haven't test wet perf much yet. Noise, is abit similar to previous Tyre, maybe just slightly noiser. Comfort wise, is on the comfy side. FC wise, slightly worse than previous Tyre. Good replacement for economic call I feel from price per overall offering perspective Those who want a comfy n quiet ride, can consider this Tyre”

“Simbolul cu mașina și fulgerul de pe Hankook Ventus Prime 4 arată că anvelopa e compatibilă și cu mașini electrice (EV), nu că e destinată exclusiv lor. Poate fi folosită fără probleme și pe mașini cu motor termic.”

“Found a cut on one of my tires, is it 100% cooked? Three month old Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and I found a cut/split. It’s holding air fine but it is cooked?”

“I like mine so much I'm on my second set. I got 55k out of my first set (could have got another 10k but started to get a little noisy). Exact tire you have (265/70-17 C load) on a 2018 4Runner.”

“No opinion here between the Yokohamas or Falkens (both of which I would definitely put on my Outback ) but in my experience the BFG KOs are way too much tire for the Outback . I put a set of 4 on my 2013 Outback and quickly discovered that other than looking great, and being virtually bulletproof, everything else about them is a downside. Rough ride, lot of road noise, lost about 2 mpg in fuel cost, and very heavy when I did my tire rotations, which BFG says you should do every 3,000 miles to prevent excess wear. Like they say about many things, the two happiest days in my 2013 Outback ’s life were the day I put the KO2s on, and the day, after about 10,000 miles, I replaced them with “regular” tires . Great tires for a heavier vehicle, but too much for the relatively light Outback . I’ve read many Outback owner’s reviews being very happy with the Wildpeaks AND Geolanders. Sounds like that person has an agenda.”

“BFGoodrich KO2s are an excellent choice That is all. We got whacked with that big winter weather system here in Michigan last week. My '21 Sport is fitted with 235/75R15 KO2s and I finally got a feel for their cold/snow/ice performance characteristics. My opinion is favorable. They were good enough in 5-6" of loose powder, felt planted in melty slush, but mostly impressed me on glazed ice. Didn't encounter any hardpack snow, so can't really comment on how they'll do with that, but I expect they'll perform well on that surface also. I've been running at 38 psi, seems to work okay. Road noise is minimal. Fuel economy took a giant hit, though. I have no empirical measurements to back my observations, but it appears I've taken about an 8 MPG penalty. It only gets worse with speed, too. Highway miles eat even more gas than regular surface streets. Makes sense, given the nature of these tires. To be fair, however, I knew this would happen and accept the loss. For me and my goals with my Crosstrek build, the fuel economy loss is made up for with the improved grip under any road surface I've thrown at it yet. Just wanted to share my experience so far. I'm not disappointed. Read more”
