Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 255/35 R18 94 Y XL, MFS, ZR

These tyres have only covered 26000kms, which is half of what each of Dunlop SP2030 as OE on car as new and Contiental Sport Contact 5 as second set did. I have size 225/45r18 for Mazda 6 2012 which is used by my wife for normal, daily driving on highways. If you want to save 20.00 Euro then go ahead and get those tyres, but it will cost you in the long run, because you will need to replace them in half the time as other best brands. I honestly thought that being listed by Oponeo as a premium brand tyre, it would be a good product, guess not so much. The tread wear is totally uneven as the channels are all different now, and the pressure was maintained at 32PSI and checked every two weeks. I think it’s time to relegate this tyre to medium class tyres. Stay away! - is my opinion and spend €20.00 to € 140.00 more to save yourselves time and money and grief afterwards. Read more Collapse

Hankook not without reason is on the premium list. The tyre I bought out of curiosity after previously used Continental which, unfortunately, very quickly run out after 2 seasons. On well-kept roads Continental did okay but still price/mileage/usage doesn’t come out too well. Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 on the other hand came out pretty good. Tyres stick very well to the road. They are predictable during taking corners. Very well disperse of water so fast ride is easy. We’ll see how it looks as tread starts wearing down. As far as I’m concerned the noise on the smooth roads is minimal. If we ride on poorly constructed or old roads it’s getting louder because of the reinforced tyre, well that and taking parameter of my car into consideration it is also understandable. At the moment I would buy them again. Wear is lower than with the previous ones. Read more Collapse

When I bought the car(second hand), the garage had fitted two new front tyres. The garage was involved in selling sports cars and also raced their own car. They highly recommended these tyres. I was still unsure. A few weeks driving the car had me convinced. These were as least as good as the original fitment if not better. When the rears (original fitment brand) needed replacement, I chose Hankook. And when the fronts needed replacement, again I stuck with Hankook. Not only do they give the car great feel , precise steering and reduced jarring, they deliver high mileage at an excellent price. Hard to beat. Note it is important to set the right tyre pressure to get the best from them. (PS. why no 5's in the scores? That would mean that they're perfect and can't be improved on. I'm sure someone will, sometime. Read more Collapse

I bought those tyres at the beginning of the year. What I immediately noticed was that all these bands are much less comfortable than the tyres that I had before, the Dunlop Sport Maxx. Mainly because the tyres are not well rounded, so the tyres start to bounce and wobble. I thought I could get used to this, but after I’ve put my winter wheels underneath it is a pleasure to drive again. No more bumping. In addition, fuel consumption is about 0.5l per 60miles. It is positive that Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 are safe tyres with ample grip on dry and wet roads. Furthermore, they look good, and the wear indicator is a useful feature. They are slightly noisier (About 3-4 dB) than the tyres that I had before, but I knew at purchase. Read more Collapse

After several hours of searching I found tyres with a low rolling resistance and relatively quiet, so I decided on buying these Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 tyres. The Hankook V12 evo2 K120 tyres surprised me in a very positive way! Although ther’re classified as average, ther’re no different from the premmium class tyres. They’re very predictable, I know exactly when they start to lose their grip. I drive on a 215/45/17 sized tyres which are perfect on our roads. The tyre is quite stiff, but it doesn’t influence the steering wheel in any situation. Next time I may choose the size 205, I am very satisfied with this choise as well. Read more Collapse
