Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 235/50 R18 101 Y XL, MFS, ZR

I fitted some genuine VW 18" Dakar alloys with the Bilstein B14 Coilover suspension….so with tyres and fitting…..about £2400 all in….was it worth it? Cant fault it, no body roll, very quiet and have nitrogen fill tyres too….easy knocking +40 mpg (44 on MFA)…. Make sure when you order you have a fitter as local indepandents do NOT like other supplied tyres so will turn you down. My local VW agent had no such issue and fitted, valve and balanced for £53. The tyres & fitting were £120 cheaper than Black Circles…….. Read more Collapse

The tyres are quieter than the original smaller van tyres but guess they are softer as wear rate appears higher but of course there is always a trade off. Please note I only use these as summer tyres. Read more Collapse

I recommend these types because they are an excellent tire and value for money Read more Collapse

These tyres have only covered 26000kms, which is half of what each of Dunlop SP2030 as OE on car as new and Contiental Sport Contact 5 as second set did. I have size 225/45r18 for Mazda 6 2012 which is used by my wife for normal, daily driving on highways. If you want to save 20.00 Euro then go ahead and get those tyres, but it will cost you in the long run, because you will need to replace them in half the time as other best brands. I honestly thought that being listed by Oponeo as a premium brand tyre, it would be a good product, guess not so much. The tread wear is totally uneven as the channels are all different now, and the pressure was maintained at 32PSI and checked every two weeks. I think it’s time to relegate this tyre to medium class tyres. Stay away! - is my opinion and spend €20.00 to € 140.00 more to save yourselves time and money and grief afterwards. Read more Collapse

Hankook not without reason is on the premium list. The tyre I bought out of curiosity after previously used Continental which, unfortunately, very quickly run out after 2 seasons. On well-kept roads Continental did okay but still price/mileage/usage doesn’t come out too well. Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 on the other hand came out pretty good. Tyres stick very well to the road. They are predictable during taking corners. Very well disperse of water so fast ride is easy. We’ll see how it looks as tread starts wearing down. As far as I’m concerned the noise on the smooth roads is minimal. If we ride on poorly constructed or old roads it’s getting louder because of the reinforced tyre, well that and taking parameter of my car into consideration it is also understandable. At the moment I would buy them again. Wear is lower than with the previous ones. Read more Collapse
