Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Hankook K120 VENTUS V12 EVO2 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

★★★★☆

I 'm not disapointed with the good performe of those V12 evo2 tyres. I come from a set of Pirelli's Pzero Nero, mounted by Alfa Romeo when a new car, I'm trying those Hankook, and in dry conditions they are not far from Pirelli's. On wet conditions they are a little bit worse, also in handling corners... I'll miss my Pirelli's, but the excelent price/performance relation of the V12's made my choice for this tyre. The changes of grip with time it's under experimentation, naturally.

★★★☆☆

I purchased these tires in South Carolina in late October and after only driving 3700 miles the tires indicate a tread level of a 5 this is just horrible, I called Hankook and they explained to me that they are a summer tire with NO mileage warranty and they are a warm weather tire, I advised I am in Myrtle Beach, SC if this is not warm enough for the tires to last at least 35,000 to 40,000 miles then why do they allow shops to sell them in this area but to have over half the tread life gone in only 4 months and under 4,000 miles is just NOT acceptable and in case anyone is wondering what kind of a car they are on its a 2019 BMW 740i Individual that my wife drives so its treated like a baby. Would never buy a Hankook again.

★★★★☆

First 10,000 ~ 12,000 miles were impressive. While cornering i noted a slight tendence to understeer on slippery under some conditions where regular tyres (i drive other car with "economy tyres") behave as they should. Breaking under wet conditions (straight) is quite good but when slightly cornering and breaking story could be different activating other car systems (ABS, TCS or ESP). Wear, visually, is not very noticeable but it does in perfomance so i understand this is a normal condition on "mid-tier" UHP tyres however this is why after 20,000 miles i will another set of new Ventus in my car, yes i will buy them again.
PS - OEM tyres were Hankook Optimo H426 which used to have limited contact with the road. :P

I have these on My 2011 Charger RT Max. The value per mile makes these a no brainer for me. Will buy them again when these wear out.
