Hankook Ventus Prime 3, certainly recommend this tyre to you guys,
yang mencari tayar dengan grip yg sangat2 baik masa dry dan senyap serta selesa.

first impression grip mmg sedap, comfort ada dan tak bouncy, sidewall a bit stiff for tyre yg focus antara comfort dan performance, pesaing terdekat Michelin Primacy 4/3.

previous tyre was rovelo a1, re003, and almost all uhp tyre available in market i have try, this one memang bang for buck, its like hankook v12e2 but with quiter and comfier ride hahaha apart from a bit numb steering feedback laa 😂

priced only rm220-200 per pieces for 205 55 16 size.

but there's a catch
-no tw, temp, and traction indicator.

my personal verdict if i were to rate this tyre would be

-300tw
-traction A due to biasa2 wet grip
-temp A

I think this is upgrade for S1noble 2 is assymetrical rather than v12, since v12 is directional tyres

I was using two tyre at front, already clock 2500km. I have no complain and feel not bad at city driving. But once I travel from KL to Taiping, I feel my car not stable when high speed ( 140km/h ) below that speed just ok, over 140km/h I feel something wrong with my car. My rear tyre is 6000km old v12 evo 2. Ventus prime 3 is rating at H tyre , while evo 2 is V rating. Maybe this rating, that why my car unstable.

By right shouldn't be big issue but Advisable to use all same type.
Unless alignment didn't do properly

Not an issue if it is a symmetric tyre. Just take off the tyre from wheel for cross rotation.

You can cross rotate symmetric directional tyre by cabut tayar from left rim and pasang balik on right rim and vice versa for the other side. Only work for symmetric directional tyre.

Tested wet grip during journey back after CNY along Karak h/w. Nice wet traction.

But aquaplaning resistance is just average or slightly above average. Driving through slightly deeper cross-streams or puddles can be quite draggy or unsettling at legal speed.

Just changed to this VP3 this morning. Size is 205/55R16. Really irresistible good price of rm220/pc. Since changed all 4, shop threw in wheels alignment as well but politely declined as I have my own place for wheel alignment.

Got 3pcs of 3419 manufacturing date and another at 2519. Con't find UTQG on the outside face of the tyre after mounted on rim.

Initial feel of the tyres was it has stiffer sidewall for a comfort biased model. Markedly stiffer than outgoing Ventus 2 Concept2 and S1 Noble2, both touring tyres from Hankook.

However, it still have a very "premium" feel to it, soaking up road imperfections better than V2C2. It is something like reliving S1N2 again, but with a stiffer sidewall. Steering feels more direct.

Can't say much as only covered around 100km after install. But initial impression on dry grip is at least at par with S1N2 or better. Like K435 (Kinergy Eco 2) I have on another car, noise signature is moved to lower frequency and it appears to be as silent as S1N2.

Not much else to talk about since tyres are still very new. Will update on this tyre when thread is bumped.

As per my ori review above, nothing to add or change as of now after 20+k km of driving. I think it is a S1N2 with different thread pattern. Better aquaplaning resistance than S1N2 and V2C2. Threadwear also is same as S1N2, I think this VP3 can last at least 70-80k km on moderate driving style. Can't and not fair to compare with UHP as price difference is too big.
