Test Results

Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been nine tests which compare both tyres directly!

Out of these nine tests:

  • Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 finished ahead of the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 in five of the tests
  • Hankook Ventus Prime 4 finished ahead of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 in four of the tests

While it might look like the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is better than the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Lets look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Dry Braking

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Hankook Ventus Prime 4, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
