Hankook  Ventus V4 ES H105

THIS TIRES ARE GREAT PERFORMING ON ALL ROADS SURFACES WET AND DRY. I COULD NOT COMENT ON THE SNOW YET HAVE NOT DRIVEN IN ANY YET! I HAVE OTHER HANKOOK TIRES AND MY OTHER CARS AND THEY PERFORM EXCELLENT!! FOR THE COST OF THIS TIRES ARE A FINE DEAL.

These have been the best tires for Z cars only tire that I have got over 10k out of and ride and performance is better than tire that are twice as much on my 2nd Z and ditched those Bridgestone's that came on it right away and put these on worth every penny. Live in the northwest so know that wet weather traction is great on these tires. Have told many Z owners about these tires now have 10 friends running same tire on there Z's all with same results everyone who has ran them likes these tires.

I originally had Goodyear RSA's OEM....Horrible tire...terrible in the rain terrible in the snow & very unstable!...When I switched to the Hankooks...I immediately saw a HUGE difference....my car feels brand new & handles like a champ..I have more confidence at high speeds in rain & dry weather...cornering is something out of a race track & when I go over bumps on highway the car handles like a champ. With the good years I had ZERO confidence on the road!....Definitely a great purchase...I havent driven in snow conditions as yet but based on how the hankooks handle in the rain im sure they will do just fine in light snow...I dont expect much from a low profile tire in the snow anyway...just plain physics. All in all a great tire for the price its actually a steel....I strongly recommed this tire.

I live in Northern California and don't have a lot of the weather issues that other reviewers must have. These have been great tires on my Chrysler 300. Dry traction is fantastic. The tires are extremely predictable when cornering. Anyone who has had stock tires on a Chrysler 300 knows that the 300 is like a dancing bear on a ball. The stock tires constantly wanted to turn one way or the other. These tires eliminate that issue, give the 300 a solid feel, and make it corner like it's on rails. If you drop a couple of gears and head hard into a turn these tires are rock solid. I don't have any of the sidewall softness issues that one reviewer here reports.



The wet traction is interesting at times. My traction control will come on when accelerating from a dead stop when there is a lot of water on the road from heavy rain. The tires do like to float at freeway speeds when there enough water to create pooling, but what wide performance tire doesn't? That is an issue with a 265/35 R22 on any car. It's never been an issue that has created control issues for me.



Perhaps these tires are better suited for cars vs street trucks due to weight issues and load differences on the front & rear tires caused by weight and profile.



Treadwear has been excellent.



Bottom line: This is a performance tire that loves dry roads. It performs well enough on wet roads to interest me in purchasing it again. For California, it's a great tire.

Better than the Goodyear LS2 by a long shot.
Great dry grip and cornering stability.
Much quieter than I'm used to.
Would buy these again.

one of the best tires i had ,quiet , stability and very good handling ,for my A4 2004 S-line it should be the oem tires much better than oem continental

My tires on on a Smart Barbus the fronts are 175/55/15 77t and the rear tires are 215/35/R17 79H
These tires never made me feel unconfortable in any conditions. The ride is very good and not harsh in any conditions or bumpy roads

I replaced a set of Fuzion HRi with the Hankook Ventus V4. The first thing I noticed was how much quieter the ride was. No longer did I have to raise my voice to speak to the kids in the back seat although different types of asphalt had a direct impact on road noise. Next I noticed that the ride was much more civilized; not every bump came through as a sharp kick. Cornering, although not as quick as with the much more rigid side wall of the Fuzion, was still very acceptable for my driving style. Driving home on I-95 during a torrential downpour proved no problem for the Ventus V4. Overall I am very happy with this tire, hopefully tread wear won't disappoint.

great ride very quiet ride replaced a set of dunlaps which were good in dry weather but not in wet during stopping these are great buy them!!!

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT the car has 207000 plus miles on it. I am looking to buy my fourth set of handkook ventus tires. I have been so very impressed with these tires. My first set of tires i only got about 35000 out of them, this was because my other half drove about 65 miles on two flats and eat the inter side walls.(LOL) But other then that I have gotten over the 50000 on all sets. love them. The tires handle great and for the cost and the miles you get GREAT DEAL!!!! Looking to buy my next set. Hope the car holds up to the tires, :)

A well priced performance tire that becomes very noisy after only 25% wear. It is slow to respond to steering input and doesn't have much of a ride. I found it handles quite well in aggressive situations, wears very well but I prefer a softer, quieter much more responsive tire.

These are the worst all-season tires I have had to endure. They may have faired better on our Audi S4. On our front wheel drive station wagon they went from bearable to downright dangerous in any driving conditions other then warm and dry. In the rain they showed little desire to provide any semblance of traction. Forget about these as all-seasons! We choose to use winter tires(Hankook Ice bears) when it comes to cold weather. These tires traction becomes ridiculously bad when the temperature goes below 50 degrees. Treadwear is exceptional. They do not provide any confidence to drive with any aggression or spirit! Heaven help you if you own a front wheel drive with any power and choose to fit it with these! I have just purchased a set of Hankook Ventus V12evo's to replace these. I will report after a summer with them. I don't hold a grudge against the manufacturer for these poor performers.

Unacceptable in any snow or ice conditions. There is no traction forward or lateral, even with traction control. Somewhat excpeted being a UHP product, but snow/ice should be better since it is labeled as an all-season product. Tires perform well in all other areas. Tread wear life is unknown at this time. We will see after I put more miles on them.

These tires aren't anything special. I've had them for 6 months and put on 8,000 miles, and they really don't excel in any area. During the summer, they run very level and smooth, but you do feel plenty of bumps. The turning capabilities aren't anything to write home about... although I do turn quicker and easier that my friends that have fusion tires. They have started to get louder and louder the more they wear. They aren't too bad yet, but I've noticed the noise levels increasing and I feel that in another 4000 miles it might be unbearable.
During the winter, this tire is downright unsafe. Unless you are driving incredibly slowly and don't turn much, you'll be risking your life every time you leave the house. My Eclipse is FWD, and yet I can't start moving at stoplights. Just today while driving home, a Jeep in front of me slammed on the brakes for some reason, and I just tapped on them to start slowing down, and I just started going sideways. Only going about 35 mph on a plowed and sanded road and I just spun out. The snow will get into the tiny grooves in these tires and turn them into slicks. (Pun intended)

I honestly do not feel safe driving in the winter with these tires, and if you were intending to use them mostly as a summer tire, well chances are you'll probably be disappointed in that field aswell.

Summer: (7/10) Winter: (-4/10)

Do not buy if you live in the snow belt, they are no good in Chicago.

At the 7,000 mile mark the tires started to emit a whirring sound

that gets higher in pitch as the car accelerates.

I wanted to keep cost of replacement tires down in the recession but

you get what you pay for.
