Comparison: Bridgestone Turanza T001 vs. Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 vs. Hankook Ventus Prime 4
The Bridgestone Turanza T001 and the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 are both exciting offerings from their respective manufacturers, Bridgestone and Hankook. These two summer tyres have been through several tests, leaving us with valuable data for comparison.
Starting with the Bridgestone Turanza T001, it appears to have demonstrated credible performance in the tests we've conducted. Notably, in the ADAC test, this model secured the second position out of 16 competitors, distinguishing itself with excellent wet braking. In Autobild's and Autozeitung's tests, the Bridgestone Turanza T001 also made a good showing, ranking 8th out of 50 and 7th out of 10 tyres, respectively. However, it's worth noting that this tyre has not been given a rating by our experts and its strongest features beyond wet braking are not clearly defined.
On the other hand, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 has a lot to offer. Our experts give it a solid rating of 75%. In Autobild's test, it secured an impressive second position out of 50, while in the Autozeitung test, it held a respectable 6th position out of 10. Although it fell behind in the ADAC test, ranking 14th, it is apparent that this tyre performs well in various conditions. Furthermore, this model, made in Hungary, is the first equipment on Citroën C3 Aircross, attesting to its quality and reliability.
Despite its strengths, it's noteworthy that the Ventus Prime3 K125 has been replaced by a newer model, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, suggesting that the manufacturer has made efforts to build on the merits of this tyre and eliminate its weaknesses.
In summary, the Bridgestone Turanza T001 stands out for its wet braking performance and respectable test rankings. However, the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, with its solid expert rating and strong showings in tests, presents a compelling alternative, especially considering that it has been succeeded by a newer model, the Hankook Ventus Prime 4. Ultimately, the choice between these two will likely come down to specific user needs and preferences.
