Let me spoil your fun, it is a dry specialist. Wet is above average.

I m using it for my suv. Dry grip is really good, as u will notice a lot of sands sticking to it, downside is, it wear fast.

Wet grip, heavy down pour, it aquaplaning is obvious above 100kmh.

For me it is definitely worth the price. Paid rm240 /pc for 205/55R16 and out went the VP3s. Immediate impression after installation was VP4 is quieter but noticeably firmer ride than VP3. Tyre pressure still at 250kPa as always. VP3 I still can remember vividly to be not as quiet, right after installation.

Now after almost 8k km, its sidewall is definitely stiffer than VP3. VP3 will sway when going thru crosswinds, but not VP4. Car feels much more planted on road undulations.

Somehow noticed that VP4 thread (rubber patches, not water channels or sipes) area seems to attract sand grains. As comparison, VP3 didn't pickup any. Maybe Hankook changed the rubber compound to softer and stickier type? Now got to clean car porch more frequently due to sand grains from tyres.

Vp3 is seriously quiet, and dry grip is fantastic. Wet is commendable, and aquaplaning, at that price point really worthy. VP4 as advertised is more durable than VP3, probably let you check it out in future.
