Tyre reviews Hankook K117 Ventus S1 Evo2. Page 6 215

Great tires for the money! Extremely comfortable, considering the size - 205/50 17! Generally, price-quality! With confidence, I can say I will take them again!

I'm on my second season. Excellent handling, wear around 20%. I've swapped it in for the OE, wider diameter. It's certainly harsher, as expected. Profile below.

Short on wet handling with this tread compound. Soft but durable to impacts. I ride on 225.45.17. If not forced to wear them out, you can get 3 seasons of aggressive driving in them. In hot conditions, 2.

I previously had Michelin Latitude Tour HP. The Hankook is much quieter and predictable in handling. Excellent tire!

Optimal value for money. Raises no complaints in dry handling, suitable for high-speed sports driving. However, it behaves slightly worse on wet asphalt, and aquaplaning is very pronounced at speeds above 140 km/h, especially when braking.

I usually choose between Continental and Nokian for summer tires. I never considered Korean-made tires. But by chance, I recently found out that DTM racers actually use Hankook tires. It turned out that Koreans were not wasting their time, and they've indeed made a high-quality tire. Last summer, I drove on Hankook, without using any additional oil which, I was satisfied with everything except for the braking. It would overheat and produce a terrible smell right away. Here,

Performs well on both dry and wet surfaces. Once got into a rut - almost lost grip on the steering wheel, but that was it. The tire seemed noisier (than my previous Dunlop Sport - which was quieter).

All good, 6,000 km on the clock, but it looks like they've got 30% or so left.

In the case of a full-time crossover car, this tire performed well! However, after 17,000 km, only 25% of the tread remains on my driving style. And 200 km/h is no problem for this tire! And no blisters, even though I hit some serious potholes!

Comfortable, soft, and great tires, but unfortunately, the sidewall is so thin that it has torn two tires in just two months. A simple curb strike with a 5 cm tear in the sidewall. The tread is also constantly catching a bunch of stones.
