Anyone have any experience running the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2?

Tried searching this in advanced finder, but had no luck.

Thanks,

I've had them on my 335i and S5 now and they're a great budget summer tire. They're not Michelins but if you're just looking for a good summer tire for daily driving you'll be happy with these.

 

I've not had them on a personal vehicle, but Audi uses them as mentioned above. I drove a 2018 RS5 for a few hundred miles and as many reviews point out, they are easily overwhelmed. They are known for having a relative soft sidewall. Haven't experienced them on an RWD car with a lot of torque, but given how easily they are overwhelmed during cornering, I can only imagine that they would struggle with traction on the C63. For the RS5 they were a common complaint in many early reviews, and I believe Audi now uses different tires on the RS5. They only seem to make sense if you don't want to spend a lot of money on tires and do mostly normal driving. Don't expect them to be a match for the performance of the vehicle.

 

Thanks for the replies!

Im going to stick with the PS.

Appreciate the help!

 

I was a Michelin fanboy until I was forced to try Bridgestone RE71R’s on all four corners. My highly modified 17’ C63S AMG would blow the ps4s off through 3rd gear even when they’re new. The Bridgestones basically chirp on launch with traction OFF and then BYE BYE.

They connect you to the road at an obscene level and the feedback is precise. You know without a doubt when those tires are at the precipice of traction and can act accordingly. This hefty bitc* feels nimble, like a much lighter car and is like a precision instrument now as opposed to a flighty smoke machine.

tldr; I used to buy nothing but Michelin PS4S. The beer flu forced me to try Bridgestone RE71R’s and now they’re my first and only choice on all four corners.

 

Thanks Wexlax,

Im ordering something this weekend.

Im thinking I may give these a shot.

Who did you order through?

 

Had them on my f80 m3 and loved the ventus. Great traction.

 

The RE-71R is an extreme performance summer tire. Giving up wet grip for superior dry grip, so no surprise there. The PS4S is a max performance tire providing excellent dry and wet grip. If you want maximum dry grip and don't care about wet grip, there's always the Pilot Sport Cup 2.
