Ventus Prime 3 (K125) Tyres description & features

The Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K125) tyre is an asymmetric tread pattern summer tyre for touring passenger cars featuring optimised braking on wet roads and water evacuation. The asymmetric tread has four wide grooves running from the inner edge to the outer edge. The angled grooves and stiff braking and steering (load) blocks on the outside rib are combined with brace blocks on the rib for outer steering support. The silica compound is supposed to improve wet grip and reduce rolling resistance. Noise Care Pitch technology involves a varying pitch of the tread blocks to minimise impact noise.

The Ventus Prime 3 (K125) tyre came after the Ventus Prime 2 (K115) and was succeeded by the Ventus Prime 4 (K135). It also has an XL construction that offers increased carrying capacity. EU labelling is determined by tyre size. Tyres.co.uk sells the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K125) tyres, including the reinforced XL constructions.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread with four wide grooves
  • Silica-rich compound for wet grip
  • Variations of block spacing for noise reduction

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K125) 225/50R17
I bought these to replace my old ones from the same brand. The old set had good grip and lasted a long time. I changed them out before hitting the minimum legal tread depth because the car was getting a little unstable. I think this is more due to the chassis of the car being more sensitive than the actual tyres because the ride is stable again with the new set.

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K125) 225/50R17
I completely agree with you. From the moment I got onto the road, it was noticeably more quiet and the grip was excellent. I was especially impressed with the usual wet conditions on the M8 where your brakes and tyres are pushed to the limit!

My 21-plate van is about to get its third set of tyres after the first set lasted me 48,000 miles, the second set lasted me 32,000 miles after getting them fitted at the Bar Hill depot, and I reckon this third set will last me around the same distance too. I'm happy with the tyres and the team at Bar Hill!

Based on the rain spell, grip in the wet is decent. I haven't tested the grip in the cold yet so I can't comment on icy handling. The noise level is fairly low which is good. I dont see the fuel economy as a negative even if it is lower than the previous Michelins. I would probably buy these again.
