Hi, Anybody try Hankook Venture v2 Concept, seems good look?
How about wet and dry braking?
IS the noise level acceptable?
Some says better don't touch Korea Brand, what says all?

v2c2 not that bad.

Please stay out of this model:
Hankook Kinergy EX

I changed to 4 x 185/60/R14, confirm that wet road condition was terrible and nightmare even 99% excellent threads and low speed braking, slip toward won't stop

Bro, if high speed 80km/h I can accept the fact, even low speed 20km/h also cant grip wet road, felt cheated lo

i can also confirm from my experience that hankook kinergy ex is a very slippery tyre. even though it is super duper new like one day old.

so far feel normal..today heavy rain but i did not get a chance to really test it in rain as i used trunk road and no more speed than 80kph... but in dry i feel it is ok nothing to shout about but decent grip enough for daily use ...mine is manufactured 46th week of 2016 also made in indonesia...

i wanted a quiet tyre and the shop recommended me this...my previous michelin xm2 came with the car when i bought it (2nd hand) 6 mts back but it was really noisy and was driving me crazy...checked the date it was manufactured in 2013 so the shop man told me it could have hardened hence generate noise..anyway i dont know hw long my car was sitting in the hot sun at the used car..

but surprisingly after changing to hankook i feel there is not much difference in noise generated by the tyre sound just a little less....or is it just me ??

anyway my ride is a vios 2011 g limited spec...maybe poor sound insulation ??

Agree, i chnage to 4 x 185/60/r14 almost half year ago. The wet road grip is horrible. Even my rojak tyre ( xm2 at the front and goodyear nct5 stock tyre that almost botak) have better grip.
Was planning to get XM2 during that time but the sales person seems manage to convince me to get the Hankook tyre.

So far I got few owner all having same experience as mine.

I check with tires shop before, they said that caused by pattern, it cant disperse the water efficiently when wet handling

Previous so call lousy "Goodyear Eagle NCT5" far more better than it...used until botak still wont like that.

So scary like snake swing left and right even low speed during wet road.

Never buy Hankook anymore. Jan 2016, two days after I changed my front Hankok tires ( all 4 are Hankook), was taking turn at Jalan Istana to KL Sentral doing about 60km/h the car lost control lucky beside didn't have any car. Took back to tire shop they say my tires are fine.

Don't use Hankook Kinergy EX, you will regret. I just replaced all with Bridgestone Ecopia EP150, my problem resolved. It was a very bad tires, failed to disperse water on wet road even new.

Mati lah....My Bezza came with Hankook Kinergy EX. I'm gonna die       

Then change it la. Lol.

But it's still new!
Just saying la, a lot of you guys dissing on the tire, but it also depends on how you drive.
Take everything with a pinch of salt, if you drive like a hooligan, any tire also not safe la.
Everyone dissing the tire like going to die or crash anytime like that

Hahaha but you're one who said going to die ma. Lol. Anyway then pakai dulu lor, until maybe 50% then only change. Just try to drive more careful lor.

Honestly its not as bad as people say it is. Decent performance for especially if you can find it cheap. Better than Goodyear and Silverstone. I used them and they were fine. I'd say even better than my previous Continental CC5. Better resistance to aquaplaning than the CC5. I mean the CC5 was absolute garbage compared to Kinergy EX.

People who say they are bad never experienced even worst tyres like those weird brands from China, Thailand tyres. To name a few, Deestone, Westlake, Linglong, Farroad, Saferich, Joyroad and all of the other crap brands.

Thanks for the input man! I've experienced CC6 which is not bad I must say. Quiet, but not silent. However the wear is a bit higher. My own opinion after usage that is.

    oh my good ness i am reading this 2 hours after changing all 4 tyres to hankook kinergy 195/55/15 from michelin xm2..should i cry or laugh at myself

Sorry to bring this old post up.
After 2.5 years on the Hankook Kinergy tyres, what is your verdict?
Good? No good?

They are quite good. Not a bad as most people say they are. Honestly better than Conti CC series and XM2 which costs more and do not perform as good.

Ahhh, got good feedback.
No skidding in the wet?

Been using them for 25k and never noticed any skidding.
