Our take

The Hankook Ventus AS RH07 is a solid choice for daily drivers looking for comfort and wet grip in a touring all-season tire. Its 65,000-mile treadwear warranty aligns with the category average, suggesting reasonable longevity. However, the UTQG treadwear rating of 420 is well below the category average, indicating a softer compound that might wear more quickly. In terms of performance, the Ventus AS RH07 offers a wet grip score of 7.5, which is above the category average, making it a reliable option for rainy conditions. Comfort and noise scores both meet the category benchmarks, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below average, which could be a drawback for those who prioritize handling precision. When compared to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control and the Continental ProContact TX, the Ventus AS RH07 offers competitive wet performance but falls short in dry grip and treadwear rating. The R speed rating also limits its high-speed capabilities compared to some rivals. Overall, it's best suited for drivers who prioritize comfort and wet traction over dry handling and extended tread life. If long-term treadwear and high-speed performance are crucial, consider alternatives like the Continental ProContact TX, which offers a higher speed rating and potentially better durability due to a higher UTQG treadwear rating.

Pros

  • Treadwear warranty of 65,000 miles matches the category average, offering solid longevity for a touring all-season tire.
  • Wet grip score of 7.5 exceeds the category average of 6.9, providing reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Comfort and noise scores both at 8 align with the category averages, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.

Cons

  • The significantly lower UTQG treadwear rating of 420 compared to the category average suggests faster wear, which could be a concern for long-term durability.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 falls slightly short of the category average of 7.8, which might be noticeable in spirited driving.
  • The UTQG treadwear rating of 420 is significantly below the category average of 596, indicating a softer compound that may wear faster.
  • Speed rating of R is lower than some competitors, such as the Continental ProContact TX, which may limit high-speed stability.
