Hankook  Ventus V2 concept2

Got these for my V6 Accord; this specific set is probably actually an overkill for a Honda Accord. Therefore these tires respond with great urgency, stability, smooth, and excellent wet road traction. Compared to the OEM Michelin Pilot's, the car still has a loud road noise when on some concrete pavement, but that's the fault of the car and not of the tire. Excellent purchase, tires look great, you won't regret this with city and highway driving.

These are the tires that came with my purchase of an 2002 S2000, and was willing to give them a shot given how great the car was taken care of by the previous owner. It was a good choice, and I would definitely suggest these to someone. Personally, I prefer dedicated tires for each season, but if I had to use all seasons, this would be my choice. Let me start here:

Dry traction -- Great. I've pushed the car to where I am comfortable on a public road and never lost any significant traction. However, on concrete, and brick these tires will give up quickly (which is normal). You hit a concrete strip, or brick crosswalk and you will feel the backend instantly start moving around on you when pushing the limit. When driving normally, these tires have never come close to letting go on me.

Wet Traction -- Amazing! Colorado has had some very furious rains recently, and I was SHOCKED at the way these tires literally just feel as if they were cutting straight through the water on the road. It quite literally feels like I am separating the water from the road as I drive, and going through puddles with these tires... lets just say I've never felt so confident in my life. I decided to really test the limit and took it to a wet parking lot. Was able to get them loose, and they did eventually give up as all tires would -- but it took A LOT of effort. NOTE: Do be careful on road paint as these tires will slip on wet road paint.

Snow Traction -- Not so great. You drive is light snow and slush they will be fine, but you get on a snow packed road and you better know how to countersteer. These aren't as remarkable in the slippery stuff, but I will say I was able to start from a standstill on a hill from a stop light. Granted I NEVER stopped wheelspinning, but the fact that I was able to get enough traction to get me going, and keep me going was really all I needed. The rest was all about me controlling the car which I was able to do.

In the end, I'd buy these again

They are awesome in wet weather. Great value for the price. Can hook up well.

Had these tires for 75k miles. Worn tires down to just at the wear line. These tires are great.... price is okay ($360 four tires & includes install). Wears even and excellent traction we or dry. Ride noise is excellent (low, cabin level of 63db) but these tires do get very noise (75db, cabin sound level) if you don't rotate then after 15-20k. Overall great tire.

Last 4 months of tire life was most rain SoCal every experience in many decades. During rain storm mild hydro planning (regain traction with light lift of gas pedal) was experienced past 70mph during 3-4in rain. Please note this was experienced at the end of these tires life.

Getting another set now (same tires). As mentioned before tires are worn down to the beginning of the wear line. Even tho there is still some life left in them I opted to change these out because the tread was separating from the tire. The separation is pretty server (both fronts at 75k miles). Not only thread separation you also see tears in the rubber (and your see separated steel belt) where contact patch meets the tire wall. Kudos to Strong tire construction and design because the tires kept together. I noticed this during DIY break pad change. Early warning signs are high road noise and vibration. Good tires.

Excellent value for the money, these are much quieter ang grip like crazy. The Hankooks have just been installed and have just under 2000 miles on them, I'll update at 10000, but so far I'd highly recommend.

Solid dry traction. Wet traction is acceptable, but not stellar. I use dedicated winter tires, so no verdict there. Overall, though, they drive more like a passenger or touring tire and I won't consider them "high performance". More to the point, choose these tires if you value a quiet, smooth ride with good fuel economy. Look elsewhere for high performance.

I was looking for a budget performance all season tire for my 23 WRX and these have not disappointed yet. Living in OKC, the weather can change at anytime during early spring, and these tires have been trustworthy and comfortable in warm and stormy rainy days. Tire Rack also made the tire and fitment size search easy. I'm not one to leave comments or reviews, but I've been pretty happy with my purchase and will be coming back in the future.

These are my second set and i am still very happy with my selection. Ride quality is excellent along with low noise and good steering feel. The price was another factor as part of the selection process in choosing these tires. With about 10,000 miles i believe ... maybe another 20,000 miles or so before i need tires. My last set lasted almost 39,000. One tire failed and the others were getting a little noisy. I believe really good tires for the money.

Maybe it's to early to rate but before we got our winter snow & cold weather the tires gripped the road in corners and were fairly quiet. Now, however, I don't feel that in them after just 1 winter. Maybe after we have a streak of 70+ degree weather they'll soften up? Only time will tell

I got these tires in 2015 and i have driven over 60,000 miles on them and they still have enough tread to last another 25K miles! I live in CA and wet roads are rare but when it rained i felt no signs of caution. Braking and handling are very good! especially when quick braking is needed when in LA Traffic every day!

Unfortunately these tire are VERY NOISY NOW (noticed noise level increase after 40K miles), and i lost about 2-3 MPG's from the original tires (Continental CONTIPROCONTACT). I will be looking for another tire when it comes to replacing these tires, but so far they are doing their job and some!

For a cheap tire it's worth the money in my opinion. Has great traction the ride comfort is nice only downfall with these tires is that in heavy rain at speeds above 70 mph is a little iffy. It's hard to break traction with these and tread wear is awesome. I would buy these agian in a heartbeat. Also when taking a hard corner the tires stick to the road good and don't make a sound. The tread is a kind of soft which is good for traction and they wear really slowly.

I’ve taken this car with these tires though deep snow the snow was going on the hood of my car it was so deep. For wet traction I was doing about 110 mph in light to heavy rain and it drove like a sunny day I’ve never slide in the car in rain. I’ve used these tires until I see strings even at that point I still tow 2,000 lbs trailers. If you have a proper front end alignment you can get 50,000+ miles do a tire rotation at 30,000. I used this size tire and brand for over 150,000 miles

These “All Season” tires are appalling in any kind of snow or icy conditions. I had to check multiple times to ensure they didn’t accidentally install summer tires. Wet performance is also very average especially when accelerating out of a corner, they just struggle to grip the road. However it was the winter performance that really surprised me in a bad way. It doesn’t take much snow for these tires to start spinning. It struggles to drive up the slight incline of my driveway unless it’s shoveled clean. I have very little confidence driving them with snow or slush on the roads.

I usually dont write reviews but what i've experienced with these tires in the rain is something I dont want anyone else to go through. Its like these tires were made to hydroplane at the lowest of speeds and the slightest of curves. With winter here I will definitely be replacing this tire as I am even nervous to drive on these this winter.

I put these tires on my car because I live in Chicago and it was the end of October and I still had summer tires on my car. I needed something cheap and came across these. The only reason I bought them was because treadwear is rated 500. I've had them on for 5 months and i drive every day, and they've only worn down to 8/32. But other than the treadwear these tires ----. They are absolute garbage in the rain and snow. But I expected that. In dry conditions they're better but they're not the greatest. If you're looking for a cheap tire that will last a long time and you don't care about performance or traction, then this is the best bang for your buck. If you at all want a tire that handles well or gets any sort of traction look elsewhere.
