General opinion
The tires have a strong carcass reinforced with nylon threads and extremely rigid sidewalls. This ensures dynamic movement at high speed, increased endurance, and resistance to mechanical damage and deformation. Also, due to this feature, a uniform distribution of pressure over the contact spot is achieved.
Due to the uniform distribution of loads over the surface, uneven abrasion is completely eliminated, and the central rib allows riching high speeds without loss of traction.
The silica compound has been helped to achieve good year-round grip and fuel efficiency.
Performance on dry, wet, and snowy roads
The rubber compound of the tires reduces rolling resistance. In rainy weather, this model is protected from aquaplaning by a well-thought-out drainage system of four longitudinal grooves and transverse slots on the shoulder ribs. Rubber is characterized by reduced rolling resistance.
The tires have an asymmetric tread pattern and three-dimensional sipes, which provide good traction and braking properties not only on dry but also on snowy roads.
Despite the V-shaped tread pattern and 3D sipes, winter driving leaves a lot to be desired.
It is worth mentioning that extreme driving enthusiasts may be disappointed by the soft sidewalls of this tire.
This model is available in sizes from 15 to 18 inches with a range of speeds from H, V, and W. You will also receive a 45,000 miles tread warranty.
Prices for the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 H457 start at $ 64 and up.
Should you buy these tires?
Tires have problems with handling and grip in winter, so if you live in areas with harsh winters it is best to purchase a separate set of winter tires. But it should be added that they can still cope with a little snow.
Customer Reviews
Tires receive excellent reviews from drivers who focus on economical and sustainable solutions when choosing a tire for their vehicle. Customers noted that the tire construction is particularly durable, which prolongs its life. But it’s also worth mentioning that there are negative responses to driving on snowy roads.
