сравнение: Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 срещу. Uniroyal RainExpert 3 (2026)

Dry performance is where the Ventus Prime3 separates itself most clearly. In the one head-to-head test where both appeared — Autobild 2018 against 51 competitors — the Hankook stopped from 100 km/h on dry asphalt in just 34.5m, while the RainExpert 3 required 38.7m. That 4.2-metre gap is substantial and consistent with the Hankook's broader test record: its dry braking average of 90.9 and dry handling scores regularly in the low 90s in measured runs confirm a tyre engineered for precise, confidence-inspiring dry-road behaviour. The Hankook finished first overall in that Autobild field and was rated "exemplary" — the Uniroyal came 12th with a "satisfactory" verdict. The RainExpert 3 is not dangerous in the dry, and Uniroyal claims competitive dry stopping distances; owners broadly agree it handles dry roads well. But when the numbers are compared directly, the Hankook is in a different class here.

The RainExpert 3's wet-weather credentials are the reason it exists. With an aquaplaning score of 95, it sits comfortably above the Hankook's 69.8 — a gap that matters in standing water. Uniroyal's Shark Skin Technology, with its longitudinal grooves and innovative tread structure, minimises water turbulence and evacuates water quickly, and 40 Tyre Reviews owners back it up with an 87/100 average, consistently praising wet-road security as the standout quality. Wet braking in the Autobild 2018 head-to-head actually went marginally to the Uniroyal — 34.5m versus 35.2m for the Hankook — a slender 0.7m difference, but it supports the tyre's wet-focused character. The Hankook's wet braking average of 80.9 across its test history is still solid, and 72% of its range carries an EU A wet grip label. But if aquaplaning resistance and wet-road confidence are your primary concerns, the RainExpert 3 is the clear choice.

The Ventus Prime3 is the more refined tyre to live with day-to-day. Its comfort score of 78.8 and noise score of 78.9 reflect a premium product that has been tuned for ride quality alongside performance, with exterior noise a particular strength in objective testing. The RainExpert 3 scores 61 on both comfort and noise — its engineering priorities were directed elsewhere. Some owners describe it as quiet and smooth, especially at motorway speeds, and a handful of Heureka buyers mention a comfortable ride, but the objective scores tell a different story. Rolling resistance is relatively poor on both tyres, though the Hankook edges ahead; the Uniroyal does better on projected mileage (71 versus the Hankook's 62.8), which may factor into total running costs over a set's lifespan.
