Is Expensive Better? 2026 AutoView Korean All-Season Tyre Test P4 of 9

The Hankook Ventus Air S finished fourth overall and is a strong stopper let down by its ride. The braking is premium-grade, but the harsh comfort and limited cornering margin keep it off the podium.

Strong: Dry Braking Weak: Dry Circle Speed, Subj. Comfort Winner: Kumho Majesty X Solus
