Tyre reviews Hankook Z222 Ventus RS3 65

I've already worn out 3 sets of this tyre and probably won't buy it again, and I'll explain why. Spent around 30k rubles on tyres that would be ideal for one season, and I don't want to spend that much. I understood that myself after the first set, but the incredible dry grip of this tyre made me accustomed to it, and I don't want to switch to regular civilian tyres. So I wore out 3 sets and realized that the thrill

I was looking for something budget-friendly to drive on, and the choice was between Federal and this Hankook. I leaned towards the Koreans in the end. My justifications for this tire were fully justified on all 100%, it held up perfectly where I expected it, excellent traction, average noise level, average wear. Many write that it’s completely useless on wet roads. And yes, it is. Honestly, it's hard to expect much from a tire of this class and tread pattern on wet

The downsides I can mention are that the tire starts to lose grip when overheating, and it becomes very noticeable, especially on underpowered cars with frequent hard accelerations from a standstill, especially on a launch. It also causes discomfort while cornering. Although the car is already overheated by that time, so it's more of a limiter for those who drive aggressively. In general, it's very difficult to overheat the tire even with very aggressive driving and frequent city braking. The

Excellent tire for the money. Compared to Federal - Fedya in the trash!!! For active city folks it's the best. On a hot (i.e. normal summer) asphalt you can even get a good boost from a traffic light or a local competition. I won't say about the ring - we don't have a place to ride. But in normal conditions it's impossible to overheat and lose control. The tire gives a nice feeling of elasticity when passing cracks, bent rails and small po

Excellent traction on dry and wet roads on a warm tire and air temperature above +15. In the temperature range 0..+10, grip is significantly reduced, but there is a smooth slide and stabilization (in comparison with similar Bridgestone models - RE11, RE070). The side grip is also significantly softer than Bridgestone.

I've fitted the Mini John Cooper Works GP R56, driven aggressively for 10,000 km, and didn't leave the track days kit behind. For this mileage, the front axle wore out quite a bit under the protector. Quality-wise, I have no complaints, excellent hub on hot tires, holds very well even in the rain, the car has undergone a colossal transformation in braking. Overall, I'm very satisfied, but I'd like to try the RS-4 already.

We use it a lot in the club both on the track and on the city course, and while it doesn't quite match the Yokohama, it's a much more affordable option.

Of course, there are the Hoosiers, but they're only good on dry tracks and only in the dry, and they're banned by the regulations as they're considered cheating!

The hub is good, the toyo is upgraded in order not to fly off on the track

Excellent tyres for those who want to combine city and track. If you go on track 5 times, you'll need to buy another pair by the end of the season. Holds on dry roads extremely well, sometimes feels like defying the laws of physics On wet roads I try to slow down, but I've never felt anything was particularly bad about the behaviour on wet asphalt. If for the city alone, I'd have considered more rain-friendly options.

No competitors.
Ad08 and 052 are 1.5-2 times more expensive, RSR does not sell.
The only tire in this price range that will not wear out within a day on the track.

Good keeper. Holds up well under prolonged load on the track. Good wear resistance. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of precision in handling, the car drives as if passing a turn. Poorly holds on a cold start, needs to be warmed up. Strong sidewall. Noise a bit above normal. Overall, good tire.
