The Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 are both outstanding touring summer tyres, suited for all types of vehicles. However, an in-depth comparison reveals a marked difference in their performance and quality.

The Hankook Ventus Prime 4, a successor to the popular Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125, is seen as a reliable tyre with an our rating of 81%. While it shows dynamic driving behavior on wet and dry pavement and short dry braking distances, there are some drawbacks like moderate mileage and low aquaplaning resistance according to the autobild 2024 and autoklubcr 2023 tests. In comparison tests, it scored 6th out of 10 in the Aftonbladet test, 6th out of 9 in the Vibilagare test and 4th out of 55 in the Autobild test, indicating a good but not top-tier performance.


On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7, a model that has succeeded the Continental PremiumContact 6 and Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, consistently ranks highly in tests. It is characterised by exemplary driving on both wet and dry pavement, the shortest wet and dry braking distances, and good mileage. The ADAC 2024 test even commended its high anticipated mileage and excellent properties on dry and wet road. In comparison tests, it ranked higher than the Hankook model, achieving 2nd place in the Aftonbladet test, the top position in the Vibilagare test, and also first place in the Autobild test.


Furthermore, the Continental PremiumContact 7 records a significantly higher rating of 99% according to our analysis, suggesting it as a highly reliable summer tyre for various vehicles. However, despite its impressive performance, the autobild 2024 and TyreReviews.com 2023 tests pointed out its average aquaplaning resistance and increased external noise as potential setbacks.


To conclude, while both the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 are excellent choices for touring summer tyres, the Continental model appears to offer a more balanced and reliable performance according to test results. Despite minor shortcomings, it earned higher ratings and test rankings overall, making it a superior choice to the Hankook Ventus Prime 4.
