Hankook New Ventus V2 Concept 2

[k0pi]

so how the tyres are doing bro?
Stiff sidewalls? Grip? Noise? Recommended?

I'm on my way for new tires... but couldn't decide yet between Turanza ER30, KU31, A Drive, F1D5 or stick to CC5...

KU31 and F1D5 are UHP
ER30, A Drive and CC5 are entry level so they are of different category.
What tyre size are you looking at?

I dunno the sidewall sice i nvr hard corner it yet, reality is that no suitable road for me to hard corner hereacceptable grip , but i not sure how good is it since my traction always good, if only you know what i meansilent tire since now it still new, i recommend it as a bang for bucks tyre since it price really cheap for a 17 inch tyres with traction aa

going for 195/55/15. Looking at less stiff sidewalled rubbers (plenty of uneven road in Kelantan) but wth good enuff AA traction. Been hearing and seeing good reviews for the V12Evo, F1D5 & KU31s having this attribute, and wear out for quite long mileage... but curious wth dis V2 and been seeing good pricing on mudah...

I am using the V2 Concept 2 rubber now at 215/45R17, previously using Silverstone M5. I have clocked about 20k km on this V2 Concept 2 since last year purchase.

My personal comment
1. Dry grip - 6/10
2. Steering response on dry - 7/10
3. Wet grip - 7/10
4. Steering response on wet - 6/10
5. Noise level - 5/10
6. Side wall stiffness - 7/10
7. Comfort - 5/10
8. Wear - about 70% remain after 20k km used

This tyre is not up to Michxlin PS3, but definitely better than the XM2. It also above the BS Ecopia200, Txyo C1S and T1S, comparable to Cxnti MC5.

This is UHP tire but it provides reasonable comfort meanwhile good grip at all weathers. Compare to V12 Evo, it is more comfort and less noise but grip of V12 is simply greatest among Hankoxk.

Wah! means very good mileage for this tyre...

PS3 is UHP and some put it in Max performance category, sure will be better.
XM2 is entry level and Ecopia is Eco entry so down the chart
Better then C-1S which is mid and T-1 Sports then pretty good but then T-1Sport did not have good reviews, but I am surprise as good as MC5 as many have complain of this model.
So it is below V12Evo, maybe can try V12Evo2 next which is coming....

Yups, I am waiting the new V12 Evo2 come into Msia too. This should be an evolution over the V12 Evo and hopefully the price is somewhere PS3.

For heavy rain need tyres with large grooves eg. like GY F1 GS-D3, Nexen N8000 even C-Drive 2 seems to be good with aquaplane resistance

Now that i look back at the picture, it does seem to be small eh.

Got pros and cons, too big may be more noisy too, then less rubber for dry grip...

Do noise insulation

 

[vr2turbo]

Do noise insulation

Some just change to quiet tyres rather then insulate......

I dont mind noisy tho. As long as grippy.

Noisy tyres = better grip ma. So I want do insulation instead
