Review on ๐Ÿš— Hankook Ventus V12 evo 2 High Performa Summer Tire - 265/35R19 Y by Kiril Hristov แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't quite buy it well, had a little trouble using it.

It replaced the Yokohama S. Drive tires that had previously been on my Honda Civic VI Hatchback. I caught a number of holes and didn't get a single hernia or puncture, and the riding generally improved. However, there is an ongoing sensation that the tire is only making touch with the road halfway across its width. Feeling as though you're always riding "on tiptoe" is an unusual sensation. It doesn't shriek anymore, and it doesn't roll quite as much, but it doesn't enter turns as forcefully as before. The worst part is how unpredictable it is in critical situations, such as a blind curve with a sudden "twisting" at the conclusion, where it ideally preserves the trajectory, then turns around. Yes, even at a speed of about 25 miles per hour. If it does, they won't "grab" it until it stops (turning around), which is consistent with my experience with Yoko and winter tires. Only a sudden downshift and flooring the gas (front-wheel drive) can prevent total loss of control, although this is not always practical. When the back wheels will once again "grab" the road is unknown; it may be right as the automobile is about to make eye contact with the bump stop or tree. If there is nothing or no one in the area, it is best to let her turn around and halt. The northern suburbs are full of sharp corners, and I don't feel confident making those turns with these tires. A small squeak from Yoko, followed by a 20-30 centimeter wind gust, then the order repeated. I plan on bringing Yoko with me the next time.

Pros
  • Coziness, durability, silky smoothness, and long life
Cons
  • Poor track manners, floppy steering, slow response to turns, and erratic behavior.
