Hello all sifu2, any review on this tyres?

Size required are 205/55/16 and may i know any recommended dealer to bring in this brand around klang valley? Prefer subang, damansara or cheras area.

Thanks for the input all sifu2.

This UHP tyre and traction rate as AA, but hell is worse UHP tyre i use so far!
Poor braking traction on wet and dry road!
And will skid easyly when cornering.

But if u not intend to touge with this tyre and drive like uncle maybe this tyre will last, since the threadwear is 500, and also noisy thre compare my last UHP tyre

Yes since my drive patern also agresive, like to tackle corner and sudden braking.

Before i use Maxxis i-pro victra and Then PS3, due to budget tigh, i try ventus v2, but this would be last time and waiting tyre to botak terus change.

Ventus v2 are made in indonesia,

Suggest u if u want UHP tyre in this price bracket, get maxxis i-pro victra, traction are great even sudah botak, and noise are acceptable

Hmmm....thanks for the review bro. I am trying to stretch my budget to PS3. If the price is at 400 or below, i think i still can afford. Play safe better i think.

shud be able to get ps3 on that budget

Maybe noble 2 is better?

Ventus V2 Concept2 is an entry level directional tyre, similar to Bridgestone MY-02, Toyo DRB etc. For Hankook tyres your size, you can try the Ventus Prime2 which is UHP and comes OE on a lot of foreign makes (very common on CBU Volkswagen Jetta/Golf/Beetle and Kia/Hyundai SUVs). Noble2 prioritizes comfort (lower noise levels and softer sidewall) and may not be so suitable for performance needs.

Personally my car (same 205/55 R16 size) came with Prime2 (Made in Korea) and now I'm on Noble2 (Made in Indonesia) and no, I'm not a Hankook fanboy/paid poster...

what are the price for those 2 model you mentioned? interested on same size also...

Price varies from what I know. I got my Noble2 from a Hankook Masters store in PJS area along NPE for RM315 per tyre, not including valve or alignment. Balancing and installation is included. I'm not sure if you can still get at this price because they were clearing stocks.
The store is only 5 minutes away from my house, as I didn't wanna travel too far to other stores just to get at slightly cheaper prices even for other similar category tyres (Turanza GR100, Primacy 3ST, Proxes C1S, EfficientGrip, Advan DB).
I didn't ask for Prime2 pricing as I wasn't keen on getting back the same OE model but I understand it should be higher. Prime2's performance is good to me, but I wanted something more comfort-biased.

The noble 2 noise level is good enough? Or bro do u try before primacy 3st?

as mentioned, Prime2 was my previous tyre and I changed to Noble2. Never tried 3ST as it was about RM50 more expensive per tyre.

hmmm...okay

how about the theadwear bro?

I've done 8500km since installing it in Dec 2014. So far so good in terms of threadwear. It's rated 500 just like the V2 Concept2, but will see how it goes...

Rm315 per tyres is not a budget tyres from my own opinion. But with theadwear of 500, quite worth if it is true? Hmm...thanks for review

For 205/55 R16, definitely not "budget tyres" per se, as you can get cheaper tyres which are of lower category (eco tyres, entry-level), or from other cheaper brands (Achilles, Rovelo, Neuton, Silverstone etc).
For this category, the cheapest I am aware of is the GR100 which can go about RM280-290 per tyre.
Definitely is much cheaper than Advan DB which I was quoted RM440 per tyre.
End of the day, it all depends on your budget, your usage, driving habits etc, no one else can make the decision for you.

I used to use Hankook S1 Evo and Hankook V12 Evo.. Both r very good budget performance tyres..

My regular tyre shop in Klang said now both these tyres no more in production..

Are there any replacement for these 2 UHP tyres?

S2 Evo or V12 Evo 2?

yes, both got version 2.. but i'm not sure if both models are sold here.. seems like hankook distributor is not pushing hard..

Ya quite hard to find here. Till now i just know the hankook store next to NPE.

wonder if there is any tyres shop bring excessive amount (various variant) of hankook tyres in klang valley?
