Hankook Ventus S1 evo

They are an excellent tyre for someone who does a large mileage, they are now down to about 4 mm after 21,000 miles. they have not suffered the road noise due to 'cupping' that both other sets of tyres have suffered (Avon ZZ and Bridgestone OEM. In all respects they are as good as the potenzas.

Running these on an A3 Quattro Sport. I swicthed from Avon ZV5s which were great except for the wear. I've done about 3k in them and they look like new so I expect some longevity from them. They're as good as the Avon (and tyres like F1s and Rossos ran in previous Quattro / 4MO cars) in the dry and almost as good in the wet but I find the break-away a bit sooner than the Avons or Pirelli's would've in the same conditions.

Not as quiet as the F1 Asyms but they are good enough. They don't tramline or skip and ride the road well which can't be said of some other, bigger names.

Not as good as The F1s or Pirelli in the snow but about the same as the Avon - which isnt that good to be honest - get winter tyres for anything below 5 degs!

Not done enough miles to see how they perform at 4mm and at 2mm (when I change my tyres) but so far so good. Would I buy again - probably based on pricing and what else was available at the time.

Summary - as good as the BIG brands but for 25% less outlay

had these replace a set of conti sport 2 on my audi b5 tqs, as they were the best i could afford at the time,the contis had 4 mm worth of tread before i changed, i have to say they out perfom the contis every where, in the dry and the wet they are brilliant, they are that good im going to get them on my r26 instead of michelin pilot sport 2, which i rate very highly, as for cost they are premium tyre at a budget tyre price, only down side i could find on them was road noise was a little bit more than the continental, i have only done 1000mls on them so cant comment on wear rate yet, 10/10

My Prowler is quick picky about tyres and I've tried a number of different ones from Bridgestone, Dunlop and Pirelli. These are by far the best in wet and dry and just keep on gripping. Seem to be wearing ok too and at 8000 miles they still have some tread life.

Impossible to fault for the price.

A good set of tyres. driven 20k miles and they still have 3-4mm of tread left. There performance in the wet wasn't as good as some tyres but at a price of around ?90 a corner you can't go wrong.
