Product description & features

The Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 is a high performance tyre, designed for owners of sport and high performance cars.

Hankook have developed the Ventus V12 Evo 2 tyre with a silica tread compound to deliver high levels of grip. The directional pattern of the tyre's tread features notched shoulders with 3D ribs on either side of the continuous central rib - to help provide drivers with strong traction and stability when driving at high speeds.

To tackle the risk of aquaplaning when driving in wet conditions, the tyre also features 'aqua jet' lateral grooves - these collect and quickly remove surface water from the path of the tyre.

With ride comfort in mind, the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 has been designed with grooves in the intermediate blocks to reduce the external noise of the tyres.

The Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 - 195/45 R17 W is a summer tyre.

Driver’s 2nd review
  • Reviewed on: 29/01/2025
  • Approx. miles driven: 10,000
Whilst these are excellent all round tyres there is an unfortunate change to them which has taken the shine off buying them. I've had these tyres on two cars during eight years and the tread depth new was always 8mm. I bought two sets in 2024 and all the tyres had a new tread depth of 6.8mm which obviously reduces their available mileage/lifespan, all things being equal. Tyre manufacturers and sellers don't publish tread depth among the tyre's specifications/attributes so you don't know beforehand what the tread depth is on new tyres. I suppose "shrinkflation" is everywhere and I'm not surprised, just disappointed. The tyres cost more than the last time but have less tread to start with. They are effectively "part worn" from new.

Brilliant all round tyres for the Swift Sport. Excellent handling in all weather conditions, quiet, and good miles life circa 40k miles. Price is very competitive although they have started to move up the scale price wise over the last year. Would still buy again as they are a brilliant all round tyre for the price still.

The car just grips which is great. I can fling it into corners and there's next to no understeer.

Good in the wet and in the dry, but really really noisy tyres and no rim protector, so I’ll buy another brand next time.

Good now. The Goodyear Eagles were pretty thin on grip due to wear so the Swift sport is performing and handling a lot better. The Hankook Ventus EVO's are ok but when these wear out I'll probably go back to Eagle F1's on all 4 corners.
