These tyres look good and perform well in wet and dry, as good as RE050a and Falken FK453 but unlike the Bridgestone’s and Fallkens which have lasted 25-30,000 kms on several sets, the Hankook was only able to give me 8900 kms! I thought this was terrible and they were trying to tell me it was my car or that I was causing it. No track work or burnouts, just a heavy right foot but this hasnt changed with any of the tyres I’ve used.
I can’t recommend them simply because of the terrible mileage.

Got new tyres today and was a bit concern because of some of the reviews i read here but the price was so good, got them at jax smithfield
$377 for four fited and balance.Fist impretions they are quiet smooth and i have never had that much grip, cero wheel sping on a modified rear wheel drive v6 holden with 3.9 diff gears its amazing, ill report after 5000km for wearing, tyre noise, and wet driving .
Tyre size 235 45r17

Have had tyres on for three months when first rains of the year, excessive wheel spin on take-off and sliding with the traction control working overtime. Road noise not the best however was not too much issue.

Not a bad Tyre bad the more wear it gets the more road noise you get,
Got around 30,000 kms out of them on the back of my Commodore manly highway use-age,
Would recommend if you didn't mine the road noise, Not bad in the wet and good in the dry.

Excellent tyres for the kind of driving that I do. They handle very well in wet or dry conditions on most road surfaces. I travel on motorways and congested city roads and feel safe and confident these tyres will hold the road. I have had them for over 3 months now and purchased them from Bob Jane in Lakehaven and found their customer service to be excellent as well.

The tyres on my second car needed changing. A mechanic friend told me he had witnessed tests of the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 on a trade day display and he was impressed by them. He said I should consider buying them as they were very good especially for their price. I carried out some research by reading tests of these tyres in motoring magazines, asking for prices and opinions of tyre sales outlets.
After carrying out my research I decided to buy 4 X 235-45-17's for my modified VX - Commodore.
The car is not low on power and it is not slow so I needed something that would grip.
I have never looked back and I am very happy with my friends advice and the purchase of these tyres.

They are durable with reasonable price and above all good handling tyres that stick to the road in any conditions including dry, loose gravel, wet and snow. They could not fault in any way. That is why when we replace tyres we stay with Hankook Ventus V2. We travel a lot and tow a large trailer frequently over mountainous terrain in normally wet cold condition. Additional information : Made in Indonesia.

I think it's hard for a layman to tell one set of tyres from another in terms of performance, but for comfort, road noise and grip in the wet, these tyres are great, much better than the Kumho ones I had before. The garage had them on an offer as well as a cash back and warranty from the manufacturer, so they were significantly cheaper than the next option. Recommended.

Bought pair of ventus v2 concept 2 H457 made in Indonesia, 195-55 R15, coming from a good hankook optimo same size, I can not believe what a difference in the car feeling this change did.
First I just put 2 new tyres in front, the car changed to be smoother and quiet (tyre road noise).
I noticed the change on the steering also, car feels more "grip" but without feeling heavy to steer. I have not tested a heavy breaking on wet. Will update durability as time pass.

This tyre was fitted to a Mercedes and failed due to side wall damage within 12 months of purchase, the company failed to acknowledge any fault and denied me compensation. The company that fitted the tyres suggested that HANKOOK should replace the tyre in question. I would not recommend these tyres!

first, my car is modified with stage 1 tuning that gained about 30hp(which is not a lot of hp gain)...my stock Dunlop 2030 tires slipped everywhere causing terrible noises and wobbly ride..i replaced them with Hankook V2 Concept 2 195/50/15..these tires just grips to the floor during full throttle..its not Hankook RS3 tires but still worth the price for its performance :)
