Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 195/55 R16 87 V *, Mini

I have these tyres on my mini cooper and would not recommend them to anyone. They slip and slid on every bump in the road. Going around corners and roundabouts is a joke is the road is slightly wet the wheels slip and lock. The saving made having these “mid-range” tyres fitted has not been worth it as they will have to be removed having done less than 5000 miles. They do not feel safe I will be returning to Dunlop Run flat tyres ASAP. Read more Collapse

It took me a while to decide what to choose. I was wondering. Should I strech my budget a bit and buy some branded premium class tyres? I said no and i bought Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 and I am satisfied that I didn't overpay.They are a lot cheaper than Pirelli or Michelins, but the quality they offer in my opinion excelent. They handle well in the dry, my car sticks to the road like it was glued :) They are also very good on wet. I havn't noticed aquaplaning. You only need to be careful when pulling off dynamically because sometimes they like to lose traction on wet and this is the only con I can find. Tread is quite soft but not excessively consumed after one season with virtually no signs of wear. The comfort on 17 inch rims is not bad, I would say it is decent. The tread pattern may not be a super-hyper modern but this is probably not the case. It has a firm grip on the road and it is what it should do. I noticed a slight decrease in fuel consumption. Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 are definatelly worth the money. Hankook is a brand that started in motorsports so I believe that they know what they are doing. From now I will by Hankook without hesitation. Read more Collapse

Hankoo Ventus Prime2 K115 is listed as a middle class but behaves as any other premium manufacturer tyres. Tires definitely worth the money. In fact, in every aspect they meet my expectations. Thing that they might not look prestige enough in the car like BMW doesn't matter to me. Snobbish points of view are far from my attitude. The tyre doesn't need to be pretty, as far as it is safe and handles comfortly! Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 are exactly that kind of tyres. I have done over 10000 miles from the purchase on local roads and abroad. They are quiet, and behave satisfactorily on wet roads. They are not as soft as I thought they will be. But is it a flaw? This is an individual judgement, and as we well know, it all depends on the driver preferences. Convinced by it's price and parameters I would buy them again. I hope that the next set will allow me to give a similar opinion. And one more thing at the end. I don't have any relation with the manufacturer! I'm just a satisfied customer.I can recommend them with pleasure. Read more Collapse

I wanted to buy Michelin but I was persuaded by the Oponeo consultant to purchase cheaper Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 and it was a very good choice. I was supprised that they didn't force me to buy the most expensive tyres as others do. It is a great and a quiet tyre. Behaviour similar to Michelin on dry and far better on the wet! How is it possible? I was comparing them with Energy Savers from Michelin, because I had them mounted on a second car from the beginning. If anyone is wondering, he shouldn't! . The choice is really simple. You get excellent performance for a really good price. The behavior on wet asphalt is superb. On a roundabout that I usually go and skid when entering bit to fast now my car runs like on rails :) What I can tell more,...Virtually silent. The appearance of the tyre is sensational. A sense of security is real, the car goes and stops where you want. I am very satisfied with those tyres and and excellent service I received. Read more Collapse

Hi, I drive my car every day doing around 30 miles, partially in the city and out of town. I would say my driving style is moderate, but the dynamics is changing. But lets get to the point. In my opinion on Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 is based on not so big milage because I bought those tyres quite recently but I decided to share my impressions. On dry roads, the tyre like any other is doing very well. When cornering tyr tyre holds the road well. Speaking of wet handling. I was surprised by their grip. As for braking on wet roads. I did an emergency braking test at around 35 mph and the tyres were unimpressed by this situation. Even the ABS didn't switch on. I don't wan't to write about fuel consumption because I havn't noticed any change yet. Damping the road imperfections is ok. Considering the question of grip and safety of Hankook Ventus Prime2 K115 I can easily recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good tyre for a decent price. Read more Collapse
