The Ventus S1 noble2 (H452) is Hankook's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans looking to combine on-road performance with all-season traction in dry wet and wintry conditions. Designed to provide Hankook's ideal Ultra High Performance All-Season balance, the Ventus S1 noble2 blends handling and cornering performance with all-season traction, even in light snow.

Kontrol Technology is a Hankook philosophy, as well as a set of proprietary innovations applied during tire research, development and production to ensure controlled driving experiences. The "K" denotes "kinetic" to reflect that the interaction of the tire with the road lies at the heart of driving control. Kontrol Technology provides a range of benefits across four areas that drivers identify as key when choosing quality tires: performance, safety, comfort and environmental impact.

Ventus S1 noble2 tires use hybrid compound technology silica that combines wet road traction with lower rolling resistance and longer treadlife. This compound is molded into a sophisticated semi-rib asymmetric tread design that features notched outboard shoulders, intermediate and center ribs to deliver responsive handling and stable cornering in dry conditions. Four circumferential grooves and inboard Aqua Hydro Block technology provide efficient wet traction and braking. Carving edge grooves and 3D sipes promote wet road and wintertime traction without abandoning dry road response and handling.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a double layer of spirally wrapped nylon to blend handling, high-speed durability and uniform ride quality. Sidewalls are tuned with high-hardness bead fillers and casing plies that promote handling, steering response and ride uniformity. The tire was developed using 3D vibration analysis technology, which produces an advanced mold profile that delivers uniform contact pressure across the footprint to promote even wear and secure braking performance.

...Wet and dry traction also excellent...

Unbeatable for commercial driving. I've had these on a Sprinter used for expedite work. With proper rotation and maintained alignment they last 100k plus. Without rotation the rear tires go 70-80k and the fronts will last indefinitely (I'm at 140k on one pair and still going, even through they have spent the last 20k in the rear). Since they are fairly worn and winter driving season is here I'm replacing the whole set and giving these to a friend of mine who stays down south doing medical delivery.

Winter traction is outstanding if driven properly. Wet and dry traction also excellent. I never take these off road other than the occasional dirt or gravel road but for me they have done fine in those situations. I wouldn't compare these to an actually AT or MT tire though. They are quiet when new but do develop some noise as they age.

Living in Ea NC we get very little frozen precipitation, but a pretty good amount of rain. I've been happy with wet traction. What little frozen precipitation we do get these tires handle it quite well.

Road noise is minimal, but my truck is a diesel and hearing road noise over the engine is hard.

...They are excellent on dry roads, wet roads, light snow, and deep (12 inches) snow. Fantastic grip in snow... The only time the traction control activated was when accelerating hard on icy road (black ice)...

I have this tire mounted on a Cheve Express AWD passenger van with a 7300 lb. GVWR. These tires are amazing. They are excellent on dry roads, wet roads, light snow, and deep (12 inches) snow. Fantastic grip in snow. I drive hard. These tires really surprised me. Accelerating hard from a stop on dry, wet, snowy roads the tires grip well. The only time the traction control activated was when accelerating hard on icy road (black ice). Braking is also excellent. I can make it slide on solid ice, but not in snow or on wet roads. The only negative thing about these tires is that you do feel the road bumps. These tires offer little cushioning of road imperfections. However, they are not as bad in this respect as the previous tires I had on the vehicle ... Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner AT. So these Agilis CrossClimate are an improvement. The ride hardness does not really bother me because traction under all conditions is more important to me in this vehicle.

I only have about 3000 miles on these so far; so they are still new. I am anxious to see how they perform after 50,000 miles.

Bought these tires because of their great wet and snow traction ratings. I often drive in heavy rain and will need to travel in to snow country during the winter season. Impressed with how quiet and comfortable the tires ride. Always trust Michelin to produce a top of the line tire. Well done!

It's a nice load range e tire that worked surprising well plowing snow. My previous truck had dedicated winter tires (Blizzaks from Tire Rack) for plowing and these all weather tires are almost as good. A minor complaint: I was pulling a medium size trailer on a wet lawn & I did get stuck in some mud. The tires clogged with mud & the treads didn't seem to expel the mud. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase. A final though as a non-commercial buyer - I have purchased many tires from Tire Rack over the years & it would be nice if you gave repeat buyers an extra discount.

...Compared to the OEMs (Michelin Defender XT 235/65R16) that they replace there is a massive improvement in the factors that are important to me: handling is improved by eliminating vagueness, braking at speed is significantly better...

Initial impressions are based solely on my first Hwy drive after leaving the tire shop. Compared to the OEMs (Michelin Defender XT 235/65R16) that they replace there is a massive improvement in the factors that are important to me: handling is improved by eliminating vagueness, braking at speed is significantly better, road noise is only a marginally different tone (but not noticeably louder and is certainly much quieter than my studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9SUV 235/60R17).

There is a definite "Truckness" to the feel of the tire so these won't be quiet so cushy as the Defenders, but that was exactly what I was hoping to steer away from and gain more confidence when the Van is fully (over)loaded.

I bought this minivan used @ 80,000km [50,000 Miles] and those Defenders went until 185,000 km [116,000 Miles]. I definitely pushed it this past summer thru 35,000 km [22,000 Miles] and the belt was showing this fall. I'm excited that these new CrossClimates will do much better on Mountain FSRs (Forestry Service Roads) and the commercial tough sidewall will assist when fully loaded on rougher terrain and sustain scorching heat of August days on high mountain passes travelling in excess of 120 kph [75 mph].

I will update this review once I've logged some muddy/gravelly FSR trips. Happy #Vanlife, life's an Odyssey

...Road performance is excellent on dry, handling is precise and uniform in the turns.

Michelin tire buyer for decades. When original tires on my 2019 Ford F250 needed replacement due to poor winter traction, looked to purchase 4 new Defenders. Was told that tires were backordered due to Michelin tire plant Covid19 shutdown.
Looked for a equal alternative and found the Agilis. The reviews were actually better than the Defenders, so I bought the Michelin Agilis.
Was impressed with the deep and aggressive tread, and after 2000 plus miles I can say they are better.
Road noise may be slightly more than the Defenders, it is difficult to tell in a diesel powered truck. I honestly could not even tell the difference.
Road performance is excellent on wet and dry, handling is precise and uniform in the turns.
I read that these tires are meant for HD trucks and that they are heavier than the Defenders, I thought it may affect fuel economy. I did not see any difference, but I do have 1000 ft.lbs of torque with the 6.7 diesel. If there is any reduction in economy, the safety and traction is well worth it. If you can avoid a accident and body work, why dwell over tire weight?
I am very impressed with the Agilis tires, would / will be buying them again when needed. Do to my recent purchase and low miles, no tread life opinion, but if like the rest of the Michelin line, you will be pleased.

...They're much quieter than any other tire I've had on this truck...

I've always had good luck with Michelin all-season tires, and these seem to continue the trend. They're much quieter than any other tire I've had on this truck, and I anticipate good tread longevity. Any 3/4 ton pickup is a heavy machine that chews up tires, but Michelin tires last longer than other brands I've tried.

...After a years use the treadwear is very good and I have been extremely pleased with this purchase...

These were placed on a used truck which had a set of Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT mounted by the selling dealer, they had the incorrect Load range C and I didn’t like the ride and handling of those tires. The Michelins were the correct Load range E. They immediately corrected the ride, handling, noise and the Agilis are severe winter rated so they are also snow tires. After a years use the treadwear is very good and I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. I would recommend these tires for any general highway use and towing a 7000+ lb. Trailer.

The OEM tire lasted about 12K miles. At 8000 plus miles these tires don't show any wear. They are quiet, reasonably comfortable and handle as well as can be expected on a 3/4 ton pickup. I use these for towing a trailer and zero issues. They are great in the rain. These are definitely worth the extra cost.
