Anyone tried Hankook Ventus V12 evo before? How is the performance and handling?

Haven't tried it but on my wish list to try for next time coz it seems to be the best bang for the buck at the moment (unless I got budget to try the new PS4). So far reviews of this V12 E2 is pretty good such as:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...Ventus+V12+evo2

i use the v12 evo first gen
wet n dry is very good
abit noisy on highway when its about to go bald

lasted me 45k before it hit the marker

i am going to get this tire again next round.

Im currently on those donut. They are my first UHP so i cant really do a comparison with other make. They do satisfied my needs and perform relatively well (dry or wet) in my opinion.

this tyre not much tyre shop offer it, mind share where u bought it?

where is ur location?

Currently I stay at Penang, any recommendation? I know most ppl here from central region, so i didt really have big hope

guys im also thinking of getting this tire.. around ipoh cant find, if i come down kl to get anyone can recommend where can get best price?

225/45/17

ya..central region easier to find.quite lot of shop have these.

according to some feedback, seemed like very easy to find in KL
maybe u search for Hankook Malaysia and look for the dealer

I got those in kl area

The grip seem like good. However, alot feedback it noise.

UHP/Max performance category tire is expected to have a bit more noise. Noise doesn't move the car but grip is, so just turn up the radio!

Well for me the tyre does not roar or the noise is about the same as my ex ecopia 200. To me it's quiet lol

Just install this tyre at Teoh Brothers Meru.
Size 225/40/R18 (1316) manufacturing date at RM320/pc incl GST.

FOC balancing and RM30 for 4pc alignment. What a bargain....

Hows the performance so far? from the size of the tyre, are you driving vw golf gti?

is it really that cheap??? hankook v12 evo2 18" for 320? wow.
then 17" will easy get below 300 i guess?

can't really tell you tyre performance, cuz only 1day. Nope I'm driving lexus.

Yup is hankook V12evo2 (K120). not sure about 17"

thats a good deal of getting 320 per donut for 18". How is the road noise?

compare my old nexen n8000 when new. I can say n8000 is more silent than v12evo2 slightly.

I think is due to tyre pattern.

yup, but v12 is more to performance type. So, comparing both performance wise. Which one is better? btw, how much is the nexen n8000 for that size?

I can't say much as this tyre only 2day old.
For Nexen N8000 everything is good when new but whenever the wear reach 40-50% this tyre is useless... for eg. Big yellow box like smartag lane, it will skid when little corner is made, and when go into straight it will trigger my ABS by applying normal braking. All this happen when rain. Dry condition no problem.

N8000 serve me around 1 and half year with 40k km, i was price at RM400++/pc. But nexen n8000 already stop production.

degraded alot once its around 50% threadwear for n8000? thanks for your feedback but the price wise, hankook k120 is still way cheaper. i think k120 will be one of the best bang for bucks.

May i know where you bought it?

n8000 threadwear is 280. Yup best of the best bang for buck...

Teoh brothers meru

18 inch for RM320?

I asked in Rawang 215/55/17 RM380.

Yup rm320 for 225/40/18. couple months back my friend bought 215/45/17 also around rm350++ but at different shop

That's why I'm shock to heard my tyre size cost rm320.

Oh thanks!

Recently with heavy raining seasons, I'm happy to report that my v12 evo2 performs very well. Those tyre diverse water like knife and never let me down. Hope they can at least cover 40k or 2 years for me.

Personally I find most new tires disperse water well. It's only until 50% wear when you start to see if it really perform up to expectation.

Ya, i do agree with you. However, when i was with the ecopia 200 on the same car, they skid me while im cruising at around 80km/h on heavy down pour, they are around at 85% thread or around 4-5 months old.

For my measly vios, using 195/55 r15 Ventus v12 evo2 can get for rm215 with gst per pc. Good grip for my heavy foot and always taking fast corners. Happy with the wet performance especially.

Of course, this is for r15. U guys talking bout much bigger size lol

I just changed to V12EVO2 from CPC2
- more silent
- good performance.
- low rolling resistance.

I am happy with it

195/50/15 - RM183 - Changed 4 donuts included alignment and balancing

EVO2 should be quieter than old ver.

Low rolling resistance? Usually this is not a feature for UHP tires. Lower rolling resistance effectively means lower grip with the ground. Usually associated with economy tires.

Havent run in yet.

V12Evo2 is a high rolling resistance tire lohhh...

Heard from a touge kaki (driving a turbo and heavily modded inspira), this evo2 tyre loses grip when hot. No grip at genting he said..

But i feel pick up faster compared with my old cpc2 185/55/15
i changed to v12 195/50/15

i asked for 215/45/17 price at RM280/pc. Didnt ask issit inclusive of GST because i just inquire thru phone. Teoh Brothers meru. I think i will pay a visit to them for hankook v12 evo2. With that price, surely bang for bucks. Im Coming! haha

hahhaa my friend just replace his car 205/55/16 hankook v12evo2 at rm290 with gst, installation and balancing. same shop.

I think rm280 is not included gst gua.

make sure you call them to order before you go there cuz they don't keep stock.

Can help me ask 215/55/17?

oh no! but your 18" is getting at rm320! hahah. hope it will not be more than rm300 after adding everything. surely will call them before i go. hopes to get a good deal.

i can pass u the number bro. Teoh Brothers - Mr Patrick 017-608-8888. Im not getting it so soon. If im there i will ask for you

The V12Evo2 Only got size for 215/50/17 they don't have 215/55/17 size.

This post has been edited by uexpress: Dec 10 2016, 01:21 PM

do u know how much is 215/50/17 v12?

Thanks... maybe I just go and get S1 Noble 2. Cheaper.

whats the price for s1 noble2 bro? can share the shop too? thanks.

I asked in Rawang before. Was told RM320 for 215/55/17. I just don't remember for V1 or V2 only. It's either 320 for v1, 340 for v2 or 300 for v1, 320 for v2.

okay bro. thanks for the info. But i think i will go for v12.

You guys know where i can get this tyre around klang valley?

I check kdai papan and hin leong klang dont have.

Only one i found is at weng heng kemuning, but would not dare go there anymore.

Why dont dare to go weng heng anymore?

well 1st they try camber scam me, they say got -0.8 camber, need change to straight them back, if not tayar will makan.
Proton lotus handling uses -0.6 to about -1.2 camber woo.

plus when they installed my tyre, they overtorque one of the lug nut. Other shop i go have to brake may bolt to take it off. Elok2 i just nak tukar lug nuts da kene ganti bolt sekali.

Teoh brothers meru. call and ask for your tyre size and order before go over, cuz they don't keep stock.

contact 0166498000 AH Soon.

check the local spec for proton is 0-0.5.lotus i think different spec because it is more like a sport car,need 0.6-1.2 for stability.
just like bmw/mercedes i saw the spec 1.0-1.5 is still good.if u notice usually big car sure got makan tyre a bit inner side.sometimes more.
overtorque is quite unlucky because of their foreign worker issue,should be not well trained enough or new worker maybe lol.
btw hankook tyre can look for teoh brother,recently a lot of members recommend his hankook quite cheap.18 inch only rm 320 for 225/40/18 for a good tyre is worth.

one thing i wan to ask is mr patrick and ah soon working in the same branch?
i notice teoh brother have few branches like in sentosa,meru,kemuning etc.the hankook is it only available in meru branch only?
might want to have v122evo2 change in my vios soon.

tq bro.

One more thing, i got this setting list from iriz forum but dont really understand how to read it:
FRONT WHEELS Value Allowance
Toe-in - 0.05° - 0° 3’ 0” ± 0.02° ± 0° 1’ 12”
Camber - 0.40° - 0° 24’ 0” ± 0.50° ± 0° 30’ 0”
Caster 4.29° 4° 17’ 24” ± 0.50° ± 0° 30’ 0”
Side-slip IN 3 ~ OUT 3 ---

REAR WHEELS Value Allowance
Toe-in 0.17° 0° 10’ 12” ± 0.17° ± 0° 10’ 12”
Camber - 1.50° - 1° 30’ 0” ± 0.50° ± 0° 30’ 0”
Side-slip IN 6 -
STEERING ANGLE Value Allowance
Inner Wheel (°) 39.7 ± 1.00
Outer Wheel (°) 32.6 ± 1.00


For this one for example- Camber - 0.40° - 0° 24’ 0” ± 0.50° ± 0° 30’ 0”

does the ± 0.50° means the front camber can be acceptable at 0.10° to - 0.90°??

Sorry not thread related

this tyre is made in Indonesia?

I always thought hankook are produced in korea, like kumho

One shop i went before said for hankook v12 model will only be from korea, not sure if their other factory also produced one.

Yup they got few branch. The person I deal with is meru branch AH Soon.

Only hankook V12Evo2 made in Korea I think. Other model is from Indonesia.

I saw some seller in mudah, selling v12 evo 2 made in Indonesia..

can someone confirm this?
it should be the same quality

i'm not an expert.just my thought,it say for front it should be mean the suitable reading is inside 0 to +-0.5 (24’ 0” 30’ 0” ignore this i think this is the same as the - 0.40° - 0°± 0.50° ± 0° only different measurement unit use).
for the rear is irrelevant because iriz dont have alignment for rear.that vale might just be for reference if the axle/torsion beam is bengkok or not after using for a long time/accident/collision that cause the axle bengkok.
btw ur car is iriiz?

i think the indonesian one is v2 or s1noble 2 as this 2 model are make in indonesia.the v12evo2 is korean made.dont have v12evo2 made in indonesian.

thanks for the insight .

Yeah im using iriz, currently on maxxis ipro. planning using v12 on next change.

lol..
v12 is one of the high performacne tyre at very affordable price..worth to try.

A question

This Hankook V12 seem promising in performance in wet n dry. but does it on par with the latest Yoko Advan Fleva and Michelin PS4? currently in dilemma in these 3 donuts to choose from...

patrick is from sentosa klang branch

all v12evo2 (K120) is made in Korea, other hankook model all made in Indonesia. Heard the quality that made in Indonesia is not so good.

They are in similar category which is high performance tires. PS4 seems to be the king of the hill now as it seems to combine the PS3 and even higher performance PSS into 1 tire. I'd think you should not go wrong with any of those tires, maybe can try the V12E2 or Fleva first if you don't have the budget for PS4.

hows the v12 road noise compared to ps3??

And hows the noise compared to comfort tyre like cc6??

Thanks bro for the advice . haha i also wanna try the hankook regarding value for money on this tyre across its rival class.
Had RE003, good grip on dry but had bad review as i wheel spin and stuck in mud one time, wet grip is worst, last me 30k mileage
Had PS3, good grip on wet and dry surface, rather softer compound compare to RE003, last me around 40k mileage.

currently using Continental Sport Contact 5, wet and grip is above my expectation, IMO is better than ps3 no matter wet or dry or hard cornering even in raining surface (not kidding), best UHP i tried so far, but its lifetime is very bad, last me till 25k mileage now, left 30% thread in just 1 year.

So basically i wanna get back the performance on CSC 5, just curious on what this Hankook V12 can perform. Thinking to get this Hankook for a try though since price also attractive

Yeah CSC5 is a damn fine tire, I also think better than PS3 or Goodyear F1 and it often was the best tire in many reviews back in 2014-2015 before PS4 now takes over. I'm also using CSC5 now, but mine still less than 20k mileage now (just about 15 months use) and seems still thick treads which I think should last at least up to 35-40k km leh. Or maybe you drive much harder than me ya, so eats up tires faster too. Btw what car is yours?

The V12E2 I think would not match to CSC5 but more like PS3 which is still very good, hence still excellent value for money, similar like the Fleva. RE003 has softer compound than PS3 that's why tread wear rating only 220 compared to PS3 at 320 and that's why PS3 also lasts longer. You can also see that RE003 wet traction rating is only A while PS3, CSC5, V12E2 & Fleva are all at AA. The tread pattern of RE003 also looks to focus more on dry grip instead of aquaplaning resistance as you see it has more big tread blocks with lesser grooves.

Edit: btw this was a comparison back in 2015 which had the V12E2 along with CSC5.

Based on this review, it's a pretty quiet tire.
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2015-...e-Tyre-Test.htm

cc6 is the most quiet and comfort among the 3 but damn not confident on wet with these cc6.
although v12 is directional but review settle not noisy.
i feel no difference with ps3 for noise level maybe is my car issue.

V12 potong air failed wei.
I just changed it and ran up to 1000km+ liao.
Easily drag to one side when passed by wet road.

Deep puddle?

good to me.i usually drive fast on raining days.still its about individual experience.

Mine look fine ohh, this few day raining was running at 110 - 120km/h without any problem

yup.
and i compared with my previous cpc2
cpc2 is much better when pass by deep puddle without reducing speed.

This tyre best takk? harga seems okay. cornering?. how long can last?

Great feedbacks from users! More or,less lock in this tyre Liao! Headache looking for tyre replacement!

Looking forward to change them donuts to v12 evo2... anyone knows where to get them them at a good price?

I buy my set of 195/55/15 at pj for rm172.
Around Shah Alam can get for rm165 for the same size.

Not sure what size you're looking for but this can give you a rough estimation of the prices for your size.

S One Tyre and Sport Rims in Setia Alam
WD Sport Rims & Tyre in Puncak Alam

Thanks for the information and recommendations.

But unfortunately, hankook doesnt carry the size i want, unless i fork our more to get my rim upsized to 17inch

What size u looking for? v12e2 does have 15" and 16". You could try ask oscar tyre shah alam, they carry alot of sizes.

225/40r18 rm360 ok? pandan indah charge me rm450 @.@

For V12E2 should be just rm300 like examples below:
https://m.mudah.my/view?ad_id=75415052&shar...&share_to=other
https://m.mudah.my/view?ad_id=70687272&shar...&share_to=other

320/300 should be the price

sad, i bought from lazada liao, rm360 @.@ nvmla.. coz i ask few place all above 400. then i lazada saw rm360 sumore is king of rim geh shop, should be trusted xD see can nego cheaper anot if i buy rim from them XD

buy rim more ripped off.hahaha...their rims are super expensive than other shop

Is this better than Toyo TR1

No combine, because there's still PSS ongoing and the new PS4S

PS4 Is just upgraded from PS3

between this and potenza re003, which 1 is better for cornering?

right now cant decide to get this in 225/45 or re003 in 215/45


for 17inch (preve), will the 4inch extra inch make difference lol

Hankook

PS4 sits below PS4S.
PS4S replaces PSS.

If cornering in dry condition, potenza.
If cornering in wet conditions, ventus v12

Just get the ventus bro. It's the better all rounder tyre. This is my opinion la.

And yes, the 4 extra inch will make a difference. Most people will say they can't feel it. But when it comes to things like suspension and tyres, even 1 inch can make a difference. This is what my tyre guy told me la.

You'll have a wider road contact patch, which can give better stability and grip. The downside is increased fuel consumption and probably more chance to aquaplane if you're careless in the wet.
