Hankook Ventus Prime 4 K135 on M3 anyone?

MOT coming up on the 29th and the rear tyres won't make it. Front tyres have a bit of wear left but I'm wondering if I should do all four now or the rears now and then the fronts sometime in about 6 months or so. Better deals on 4 tyres though ... but then I'd be throwing away 2 decent tyres with some use still in them so ...

Also, looking on KiwkFit... any reason why I wouldn't go for the Ventus Prime 4s over the Michelins?

I got a set of these in February. I think they are pretty good. Noticeably quieter than PS4's I'd say but handling isn't as good if that's something you're concerned about. No negative impact on efficiency that I've noticed.

brilliant. Thanks for both those posts. Super helpful.

meant to ask... it looks like I've got another 6 months or so on the fronts. Should I simply replace the rears at this point? Are there any implications for running different tyre types in front and rear? Only second time in my life I've ever changed tyres!

plumped for four tyres at once and will put a calendar appt in to rotate after a year from now on I think. With Kwikfit's summer deal offer I got the four fitted for £519 (under £130 each)

Please post your comments on how you get on with the tyres later?

So, had the tyres on for a week and I can't really tell a difference. Maaayyyybe less grip than the Michelins I had on before, but that isn't a biggie for me. I've not noticed any increase in road noise myself.

I currently have hankook ventus prime 4 on my M3'22. The ride is very shaky and vibrating but reading this thread I don't think it's the tires. Had the rims+tires road force balanced and the guy over there told me they were fine and didn't show any abnormal effects.

I bought the car used and had these tires put on so I have no previous experience to go on.

How is your car holding up with these hankooks?

Seem fine to me. I'm no expert though. Def no vibration that's for sure.

There is no tyre brand that should ever cause vibration and shaking compared to another brand! That’s a problem with fitting, balancing or suspension issues … or an exceptional manufacturing flaw in an individual tyre.
