HANKOOKVentus V2 concept 2 All-Season Radial Tire - 205/55R16 V

I've put these on my 01 BMW 325i. This car has almost 200k miles on it. I've had a few sets of tires. The best were of course the OE tires.. but they are.. well.. $130 + a tire. I've had 3 sets of Kumho Exsta 4x on them. And they handle well but were always bumpy and loud.I put a set of these Hankook Ventus V2 tires on.. and wow.. just wow. Handling isn't compromised much. BUT the ride quality is much better AND they are so much more quiet.If you have a smallish sporty sedan, these are the ticket if you don't want to give up too much performance and still want a quiet and nice ride.

Bought these tires for a great price and it asked if I wanted mounting and balancing with them. I’d never seen this option before so I clicked on yes and brought up $80 for the service. It’s $140 everywhere else. Turns out the tires were delivered to the shop, appointment was confirmed, and I didn’t have to do anything. Also the shop was about 1000’ feet from my house and they also offered me an alignment for $80. Usually $140 everywhere else but “Since you did it through Amazon it’s only $80.” Whole experience was awesome except no one, Amazon, bothered to let peo boys know we were coming. Luckily when we got there the tires were there and they were able to do it that day. Thanks.

It was an excellent idea to buy 4 Hankook Ventus V2 tires for my used car and to hire the service with Pep Boys mechanical workshop in SW 8th Street in Miami. My car rides smoothly anywhere. Also, I paid to change the brake pads for the two front wheels and I feel safer driving. I got the offer of a 12-month payment of Amazon. It is better to buy a high-quality tire like Hankook than a cheaper tire with an unknown brand.

The tire purchased were top notch and at a great price. Quick to fix a delivery mishap, once shown the error made by shipper.

First of all, I was surprised to see that the 205/55r16's I ordered are made in the USA. They only cost me about $60 each. Some people were saying they're made in China or Indonesia or whatever. Anyway, I've been daily driving on these tires for almost a week now through city and extended highway driving in both dry and wet conditions. One thing I noticed immediately is that they are a little louder than my old tires. They aren't any more comfortable than my old tires. They do grip better than the old ones though, and thats whats important to me. I'm very confident cornering with these tires. Some people have said that they don't grip well in the rain, but I was on some curvy roads earlier going about 50-55mph in pretty heavy rain and they performed perfectly fine.

I purchased these tires a few months ago and purposely waited to review them as I was waiting to try them in rainy conditions. Now that it finally rained in SoCal, these tires performed quite well. They did well in sudden stops through heavy traffic on the highway. The tires are definitely an upgrade from the stock Firestone tires my car came with and have better grip. There is very low road noise from these, however, I am an enthusiast and always blast loud music during my commute so even "noisy" tires wouldn't bother me. Like the last guy who previously reviewed, these are in fact "old tires", as mine were also manufactured some years ago but they are still new-unused tires with the "sticker labels" on them and are performing as they should. For me at least.

So far I have 14k miles on my set. Mounted on a 2007 Subaru Impreza. I drive 91 miles a day on these, mostly highway miles. They get great gas mileage and show very little wear on them. I also just put them through one of Utah's worst winters on record. They tear through the snow on an AWD vehicle. I purchased these knowing they were not a high-end tire. I am surprised by the life I am getting out of the set. One thing I will note is that they produce a lot of road noise between 60 and 65 mph. Luckily I commute on an interstate that is posted 75 mph. Of course, my subbie has poor noise insulation and your experience may differ from mine. I absolutely will buy another set when these wear out.

First of all shipping was fast! Tires seem to be smooth on a normal day, and grippy during inclement weather.
