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 Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120, 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

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

I am very happy with the latest model of Hankook - Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120. The ideal tyre for fast and dynamic driving. To me, the wear indicators placed in the tread are very convenient! The tyre has excellent tensile strength on dry and wet roads. I checked it - I know what I’m saying. When choosing tyres I wanted the model with resistant sidewalls. I hope that the promises of the manufacturers will allow me to enjoy this Korean product of very good quality for a long period of time. Because of those characteristics of the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 I think it’s one of the best tyres, rightly so, in regards to its long liveliness. Read more Collapse

After hours of searching for a tyre with low rolling resistance and relatively low noise, I decided on this one. The tyre surprises me positively, even though it is classified here as a medium tyre, it does not differ from a premium tyre, the tyre is very predictable, I know when it starts to lose grip. I'm on 215/45/17, a size that is almost perfect for our roads, the tyre is quite stiff but doesn't pull the steering wheel out of my hands at the slightest opportunity. I might be tempted to go for 205 next time but I am still very happy with this choice. Read more Collapse
