Hankook Ventus HR II good tires?

2000Silverbullet · November 2nd, 2009, 09:43 PM

i was thinking of getting some of these but I wanted to know if any of you guys have used or are using them and get an opinion. My friend with a GTO swears by them.

unless I looked up the wrong version/model, "you get what you pay for" comes to mind. Although I have no experience with them. Does your friend ever say why he likes them as much as he does?

i have the hankook ventus se or si2s not sure which , but i like them and they grip good in the dry and wet.

Never used them but ive heard good things about them.

Their kind of a sleeper tire. I had them on when I bought my car. I could hit like low 2.1 60 foots on my (at the time) stock GT. I liked them. I bought Cooper Zeon 2XS Summer tires. There a sleeper tire too. And cheap ZEON 2XS

Good street tire, but don't expect them to perform at the track.

I heard the new Ventus V12's are great tires. It was between these and G-force sports when i bought new rears but went with the BFG's.

i have them on the back of my mustang, they did decent in snow i really had no complaints. I now also have them on my S4

Good street tires for the money.

I've been trying to get feedback on new tires around.. glad someone had luck with the Hancooks.. Here's what else I was looking at, everyone was say 555s are the best, but my *question* is all the bad reviews say they are noisy and bad in the the wet.. 2 things I really want.. (quite and traction)

Any opinons on these?

Bridgstone Potenzas
BFG G-force
Goodyear All Season F1s
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110
Falken FK 452
