Ventus V12 Evo 2

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2: what the numbers tell you

At UTQG 320, the Ventus V12 Evo 2 sits in the mid-life performance tier. Tread life will typically run 25,000-40,000 miles on most vehicles before the wear bars are reached. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.

Cabin noise of 72 dB is mid-pack for the segment, comparable to most performance OEM rubber. As a summer tire built for the performance segment, the Ventus V12 Evo 2 is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.

Max-performance summer tire — strong value choice. OEM on a number of European compact sport hatches.
