Hankook Weatherflex GT

The Hankook Weatherflex GT is the cheapest tyre in the test and scored the best subjective noise rating — its sound character was rated as the least intrusive of the four.

The Weatherflex GT recorded the longest dry and wet braking distances, the lowest cornering speed and the lowest subjective handling score. AutoView's tester reported quick transitions into oversteer with little warning, and a loss of grip below 95 km/h on the steady-state cornering test — behaviour the article describes as potentially unsafe for typical drivers.

The Hankook Weatherflex GT finished fourth with 85 points. The price is the only major draw — every safety-relevant metric (braking, cornering, handling) sits well behind the rest of the group. The tester noted that Hankook tends to iterate quickly on customer feedback, so a future revision may improve.
