Review on Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 All-Season 235/45R17 V-Rated Radial Tire by Micha Jakubek ᠌

I put it on a Honda Civic VI Hatchback, before that I had Yokohama S. Drive. The ride became much more pleasant, smoother, not so noisy, I caught a lot of holes, and not a single hernia or puncture. But the constant feeling that out of the entire width of the tire, only its very middle is in contact with the road. It's a strange feeling that you constantly ride "on tiptoe". It doesn’t enter turns so sharply, the sharpness of the steering wheel has disappeared, yes, it doesn’t squeal, but there is a certain roll. It behaves terribly in a rut, but the worst thing is its unpredictability in emergency situations - say, a blind turn with a sudden "twisting" at the end - then it ideally keeps the trajectory, then turns around. Even at ~40 km/h. Usually Yoko, and even winter tires, lose grip on the road for a while, and then “grab” again - the same, if it does, they won’t grab it until it stops (turning around). Only a sharp downshift and gas to the floor (front-wheel drive) saves - but this is not always reasonable to do. It is not known when the rear wheels will "grab" the road again, perhaps just when the car will look exactly into the bump stop or tree. It is better to let her turn around and stop if there is nothing / no one nearby. I often drive in the northern suburbs where sudden blind turns are common and I don't feel safe with these tires. Yoko squeals a little, blows away by 20-30 cm, and again the order. Next time I will take Yoko again.
