Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 (K120) Passenger Radial Tire-255/40R17 98Y

One of the best things I've ever done to my volvo v30 is replace the Goodyear eagle sports with the ventus V12s.It made the car come alive! Way more stable in the corners and I had zero problems getting them ballanced. Very little road noise and a very smooth ride are also a plus.

Great looking tires have them on 2 of my classic cars.

Really grips the roads well. Smooth, and ride quality is great

If you know what tires and the size you need Amazon makes it a breeze to buy. It's easy for me because there are only a few manufacturers that even make this profile tire (255/45ZR20) with the "Z" speed rating I need, so I've been running these Hankooks for years. Buying from Amazon avoids the "this tax, that fee, extra overcharge" shenanigans the tire stores have become infamous for. You can even prepay for installation if desired.Offering excellent traction they instill confidence about handling and using your car as the designers intended, although that will diminish with age as with any tire. Tire life is fairly good, but this is on a performance car so tire life tends to be shorter because it is driven harder. I can't really speak to how they behave in weather as we don't really get much of that here in SoCal, but they hold the road when I'm caught in rain.

I was afraid they would be old inventory because of the discount and free shipping. But these are less than 6 months old, very good for new tires. Manufactured stamp 4423 = 44th week of 2023. The 44th week was the 1st week of November 2023. These will be great for the next 6+ years!

These tires are great for the price. They offer a reasonably long treadwear life, a low price, and pretty good performance for a summer tire. No issues stopping in the rain, hydroplaning seems to be a non-issue for the most part in shallow standing water. Good traction, decent sidewall stiffness, low noise for a performance tire. The only thing I noticed is that once the tire starts aging (after a couple years of mounting), the rubber begins to harden and the tire begins to lose traction less progressively in hard cornering. This will be a non-issue for most people, but it is noticeable when pushing the cars lateral traction during spirited driving. All in all a great tire for the money. Seems to be a great balance between performance and cost.

I had a spark plug I picked up driving. Um what, ridiculous. Flat by spark plug. But no blow out. I tried attach pic. Who knows why I can't. Bottom line, tire held the spark plug plus kept air for surprisingly like 30 mins. Any other tire would have blown out. 50 mph. Pick up some that big, tor ur tire to pieces. Don't go cheap. You never know. It was me and my 9 year old son. I recommend this tire

These have good traction. The road noise is low. I have them on my BMW 745Li, Datsun 280Z with an LS1 engine. They are nice. Seam to last good also.
