Comparison: Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71 vs. Hankook Ventus Evo vs. Continental SportContact 7

Today, we are comparing two ultra-high-performance summer tyres: the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 and Pirelli P ZERO PZ4.


The Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 tyre is manufactured in Korea and has been used as original equipment in vehicles such as Audi Q8, Audi SQ8, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X3. Out of all the tests, it took the highest position (1) in the Autobild test and its remarkable features include wet and dry braking. However, there are some drawbacks such as its sub-par kilometre performance, which is pointed out in autobild 2023's text summary.


On the other hand, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 tyre stands out with its range of excellent features such as dry handling, aquaplaning, and wet handling. It achieved the best position (3) in Autobild and Autozeitung tests. However, like Hankook, it also has a restricted kilometre performance and higher price, leading to its devaluation.


To summarize both tyres, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 scored 82% in our rating while the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 received a higher score in our rating standing at 93%. Despite some disadvantages, both tyres distinguished themselves in their respective tests proving their high performance and quality.


Hankook and Pirelli manufacturers have maintained their reputations of producing high-quality tyres and these specific models are no exception.


Ultimately, your choice between the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 and Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 would depend on your specific needs and preferences. Both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, so consider which factors are most important to you when making your decision.
