Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 Review

High performance summer tires have a superb high speed performing capability. They successfully prevent heat build-up on the tire’s surface, which enhances the summer weather traction, extends the tread life and enables the model’s high speed performance. They promote good controllability, which is essential during its high speed drive.

Priority Tire offers a wide range of different brand high speed tires, but the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 is one of our best-selling ones. It guarantees exceptional performance in dry and wet weather with its reinforced construction and optimal tread pattern. This model maintains a firm grip in summer conditions and actively resists hydroplaning. Furthermore, the tread design ensures a quiet and comfortable performing capability.

Summer Weather Performance

Summer tires have excellent traction in hot and wet weather, but their tread design and compound do not allow their winter weather performance. They help resist heat build-up to maximize the tire’s performance and ensure first-rate grip on the tire’s surface throughout the model’s lifetime.

The Ventus V12 Evo2 ensures first-rate summer weather traction. It combines a special styrene polymer and silica compound with its directional tread pattern to ensure excellent dry and wet weather road grip. The unique tire compound keeps its flexibility in warmer weather and resists premature tread wear due to the summer heat. This firmly grips the road surface and ensures a safer high speed performance in such conditions. The tread’s lateral groove placement improves the grip on the dry and wet road surface to ensure a secure driving experience.

The model actively prevents hydroplaning. The tread design’s aqua jet and its cooling system work together disperse water from below the tire’s footprint. This allows the tire to maintain the road surface contact and increase the grip the tire has on the road surface in such conditions. This allows the tire to safely perform in all wet weather as the tire maintains its contact with the road surface at all times.

High Speed Controllability and Handling

High speed controllability

All tires need to have good controllability. This is especially true for high performance models. Tires are the only connection between the vehicle and the road surface and the vehicle’s control relies on that road contact. The better steering responsiveness and driving stability a tire has, the safer its maneuvering capability is.

The Ventus V12 Evo2 features an optimized directional symmetric tread pattern. This tread sports a continuous solid center rib that maintains the tire’s road contact at all times, and optimized shoulder tread block sequences that increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. 

Furthermore, the model’s reinforced steel belt and high stiffness bead filler internal structure work together to help maintain the tire’s optimal shape. This combination enables the tire’s constant road contact, which upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, and it ensures a stable and secure structure which does not deform under the driving pressure.

The tire also has a high-density sidewall stiffness and the strengthened single strand bead wire that keeps the tire’s shape against the high speed driving pressure. As the tire’s construction resists the shape’s deformation under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. The significantly reinforced structure enables the tire’s high speed performance as it retains the optimal shape even under the high speed driving pressure. 

The high speed performance is improved with the tire’s special cooling system as well. This groove pattern helps prevent heat build-up on the tire’s surface, preventing irregular tread wear and easing the pressure off the tire during its performance.

Tread Wear and Alignment Indicators

Alignment indicators serve to detect irregular tread wear on the tire’s surface. They visually represent the vehicle’s alignment in the manner the tires wear out. This enables the driver to notice a bad alignment on time, before the tires develop an uneven tread wear pattern.

The Ventus V12 Evo2 was designed with Alignment Indicators, which are located on its shoulders. The tire’s shoulders feature four dots parallel to one another (two on each shoulder), at specific intervals throughout the tire’s shoulder. The manner in which they wear out represents the vehicle’s alignment.

If the two parallel indicators wear in the same manner, it means the tire has a good alignment and the tire tread wear is even. However, when there is a difference between the two parallel indicators the tire is wearing in an uneven manner and the vehicle’s alignment should be checked. This features enables the driver to detect irregular tread wear and remedy the issue on time, to extend the tread life and the tire’s usability.

High Comfort Levels

Manufacturers strive to ensure exceptional comfort levels with all of their passenger models, including tires meant for high speed performance. They optimize the tread design to significantly lower the road noise levels heard by the passengers, preventing the road noise from dampening the driving enjoyment.

The Ventus V12 Evo2 features a unique tread pattern. It combines a special pitch variation with Hankook’s special Stealth technology to greatly decrease the road and tread pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion.

The tread pattern’s increased pitch number and optimal middle pitch placement work together. The five pitch phase shift and the M-pitch optimization manage to negate the road noise generated during the drive. It creates a sound frequency that cancels out the road noise at the moment it is produced. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise cannot reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passenger’s driving comfort.

The special Stealth technology places a unique wing decrease at the end of the middle angled lateral grooves. These slanted edges stability the tread blocks during the tire’s performance and lower the tread flexing and trembling. In this manner, the tire lowers the surface impact noise as it secures the tread elements. The lowered road noise levels ensure a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience throughout the tire’s lifetime.
