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.

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.

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 delivered pizzas on these tires for almost two years (in Ohio) in every single condition you could imagine ... 90 degree summers, -10 degree ice storm winters, rainy springtime and leafy fall, you name it. It's definitely preferable to drive in dry, smooth conditions. Dry traction is fantastic for a cheap tire and the limit is very easy to discover and teeter on. Wet traction is weak, but very manageable as long as you keep common sense about you. I've never hydroplaned on these tires suddenly or by accident. Icey and snowy traction is, as you could imagine, very poor but much better than a serious UHP summer tire. Overall I'm very, very happy with these tires. I've put over 30,000 miles on them and they're not even half way worm yet. They're very responsive for the price and perfect for a daily driven car in mixed conditions. I will try other tires soley to broaden my horizons, but would strongly recommend these to anyone who needs a compromise between all out performance, mixed driving and weather conditions and tire life/cost effectiveness.

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

Good handling and good wear second time buying these tires others were 4+years old

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!

When I bought this car I knew it needed tires. Previous model of these tires had good reviews and the price was right. I had these shipped directly to Sears Auto center and they were on the car the next day! Amazing! I drove the car for about 20 Mi. before deciding to have it aligned. Instead of the factory specs I had the shop use Flyn Miatas specs. Not only do I recommend these tires, I recommend these specs. With these tires and specs the car is more stable in a straight line, turn is improved as well as cornering stability without sacrificing braking with the slight increase in negative camber. Without so much toe in the car under steers less. Bearing in mind that these are all season tires (I can take fall drives through New England when it's kind of cool out)they have good grip. They have good wet grip and have have a really high wear rating as well. All in all I'm very happy with these tires.

My wife was driving today and was caught in a light snowstorm. Fortunately, a young man helped her get home as she had a lot of trouble climbing a hilly road near our home and she could not get any traction and was moving sideways with low speed. I drove the car home later when conditions were better but wet and slushy in spots. Poor choice for winter driving in upstate New York rural area.

Overall good tires. Very good in summer, eh in Minnesotan winter. Good on gravel and dirt roads. One big let down is how poorly they handle grooved pavement, they do shimmy on grooved pavement. Decent traction in snow but can get loose if you want. Very competitive pricing. Tread wear isn’t the best but isn’t terrible.

Almost always hydroplanes and isn't set for driving in snow. Definitely wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone near the Mason-Dixon line where there's snow and precipitation.
