My 2021 Venue Preferred, Canadian model, came with Hankook Kinergy GT tires, size 185/65/15. I run them at the specified 36PSI. I've never felt unsafe in the rain due to hydroplaning. There is a section of highway near me that has ruts worn in it that hold water. In my old car I had to straddle them, the car felt like a death trap when driving in the ruts. The Venue tires just seem to push the water out of the way.
For the first time in my life, I bought a set of winter tires. The cheapest I could find. Last winter my Venue felt so sure footed that I found myself driving much faster than I should have been.
