The Ventus V2 concept2 (H457) is Hankook's High Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of mid-level sports cars, sports coupes and performance sedans looking for dynamic styling and all-season performance. Designed to combine a cutting-edge appearance with responsive performance, the Ventus V2 concept2 delivers all-season traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light snow.
Ventus V2 concept2 tires feature a high-grip, silica-enhanced tread compound to combine all-season traction with lower rolling resistance that promotes vehicle fuel economy. This compound is molded into a directional tread design featuring a continuous center rib flanked by interlocking intermediate blocks and notched shoulders to increase steering response and braking performance. Four wide circumferential grooves and a V-shaped tread pattern help drain water from under the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction while shoulder block notches, 3D intermediate tread blocks and engineered sipes increase the number of biting edges to promote foul-weather traction.
The tire's internal structure features two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped, high-density nylon to aid in maintaining footprint contact pressure to enhance overall cornering and handling performance. High-hardness bead fillers in the sidewalls promote handling and steering response.
El neumático Ventus V2 concept2 (H457) de Hankook pertenece a la categoría: Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores que buscan un estilo dinámico y mejor rendimiento durante todas las estaciones del año, de sus autos deportivos de mediano nivel, cupé deportivo y sedán de rendimiento. El Ventus V2 concept2 fue diseñado para combinar una apariencia moderna con un rendimiento responsivo, que ofrece tracción durante todas las temporadas del año sobre superficies secas, mojadas y en condiciones invernales con presencia de poca nieve.
Los neumáticos Ventus V2 concept2 poseen un compuesto de caucho con sílice mejorado de gran agarre, para combinar tracción durante todas las temporadas del año, con una resistencia a rodar baja, que promueven un mejor consumo de combustible. Este compuesto, es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño direccional, que posee un segmento central continuo, flanqueado por bloques intermedios interconectados y hombros cóncavos, para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante y el desempeño al frenar. Cuatro canales circunferenciales anchos y un patrón tipo V de la banda de rodadura, ayudan a drenar el agua por debajo del área de contacto, permitiendo mayor resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning) y mayor tracción sobre mojado. Bloques o tacos en los hombros, bloques intermedios 3D y pequeñas ranuras sobre los bloques, aumentan la cantidad de bordes adherentes, que mejoran la tracción durante mal tiempo.
La estructura interna posee dos correas anchas de acero, reforzadas con nailon de alta densidad envuelto en espiral, para ayudar a mantener la presión de la huella de contacto, y así, mejorar el desempeño al tomar curvas y la maniobrabilidad. Rellenos rígidos en las paredes proporcionan mejor respuesta al girar el volante y mayor maniobrabilidad.

These tires have been excellent so far. They’re very quiet on the road and offer strong traction, especially in wet conditions where the control feels solid and predictable. I switch to dedicated snow tires in the winter, so I can’t speak to their performance in heavy snow, but for the rest of the year they’ve been outstanding.

...I've never hydroplaned in them and it took some very fast cornering to finally make them lose grip in the rain.

Despite being so affordable these tires haven't let me down. I've never hydroplaned in them and it took some very fast cornering to finally make them lose grip in the rain. My most recent "panic stop" from faster-than-I-should to zero really proved their worth and made me want to write a review. My car doesn't have ABS and not for a moment did I feel like I was losing control. I haven't put many miles on them but I've had them for about 5 years now and they show every little signs of aging. No signs of tire rot and they're still a deep black rather than a fading black (I never use any tire dressing or anything like that. I don't even clean the sidewalls of my tires when I wash my car). However, while I do store my car outside, I always keep it under a car cover and there's no freezing temperatures in my climate.

...The 500 treadwear rating provides excellent longevity and the 6 out of 10 stiffness of the sidewall provides very crisp turn in...
These are a great all rounder for any climate. I have these mounted on multiple cars in the driveway both an Audi A5 and a Mercedes C 300 Sport 4matic. The 500 treadwear rating provides excellent longevity and the 6 out of 10 stiffness of the sidewall provides very crisp turn in. The ultimate grip is of course compromised compared to a high performance tire but is so far in my experience one of the best in it's class. Snow? No problem again top of its class. I had the opportunity to Lap the C300 at Watkins Glen for charity immediately following a deluge of rain. While traveling above highway speeds aquaplaning was minimal and the tread still provided a respectable slip resistance in the corners. Watch out for that curb paint though its worse than Ice. Overall these are great tires and I will replace them with another set without reservation.

Winter traction ratings show mixed results with many scores between 0-5. Customers report lack of winter traction, slippery in snow conditions, and getting stuck, indicating poor performance in intended all-season use.
