I was told by 3 Tyre shops that the V12 Evo2 is not in production anymore, new one replacing is the K125 Ventus Prime 3.

Is this true?

Anyone used this Tyre before? Any feedback?

Not true, VP3 is midrange category below V12E2 in UHP.

I just called Hankook Malaysia and they confirmed that the new model coming out is infact the K125 Prime 3.

I actually managed to locate one shop that has the Tyre in stock, may get it done tmrw.

Just saw the tread pattern for prime 3.
Doesn't look like it's a uhp tyre. The pattern kinda similar to ventus concept.

Just changed to this VP3 this morning. Size is 205/55R16. Really irresistible good price of rm220/pc. Since changed all 4, shop threw in wheels alignment as well but politely declined as I have my own place for wheel alignment.

Got 3pcs of 3419 manufacturing date and another at 2519. Con't find UTQG on the outside face of the tyre after mounted on rim.

Initial feel of the tyres was it has stiffer sidewall for a comfort biased model. Markedly stiffer than outgoing Ventus 2 Concept2 and S1 Noble2, both touring tyres from Hankook.

However, it still have a very "premium" feel to it, soaking up road imperfections better than V2C2. It is something like reliving S1N2 again, but with a stiffer sidewall. Steering feels more direct.

Can't say much as only covered around 100km after install. But initial impression on dry grip is at least at par with S1N2 or better. Like K435 (Kinergy Eco 2) I have on another car, noise signature is moved to lower frequency and it appears to be as silent as S1N2.

Not much else to talk about since tyres are still very new. Will update on this tyre when thread is bumped.
