I think this is upgrade for S1noble 2 is assymetrical rather than v12, since v12 is directional tyres

I was using two tyre at front, already clock 2500km. I have no complain and feel not bad at city driving. But once I travel from KL to Taiping, I feel my car not stable when high speed ( 140km/h ) below that speed just ok, over 140km/h I feel something wrong with my car. My rear tyre is 6000km old v12 evo 2. Ventus prime 3 is rating at H tyre , while evo 2 is V rating. Maybe this rating, that why my car unstable.
*
1 is assymetrical n the other is directional, tht could be the prob

Hmm, really ? So which 1 should I give up ? Btw, mine size is 195/55R15, H rating.

By right shouldn't be big issue but Advisable to use all same type.
Unless alignment didn't do properly

Not an issue if it is a symmetric tyre. Just take off the tyre from wheel for cross rotation.

how to leh,? directional only frm front to back viceversa on paralel /cant cross with assym for his case

vp3 launched around 2016...my s1n2 dated 2017...

i hear what you're saying...i just don't think the reference tyre/track changed so much that invalidates comparison, i also check the eu labeling for reference last time

anyways this vp3 my last option if can't decide on something else to replace s1n2 that's done 70k, see maybe can get another 10k more out...close to reaching twi...
*
Wow how u can use until 70k?i use up to 45k already very worn for all my tyres.
Btw ive used k125 for almost 10k,nothing special,not so good in wet,dry ok

maybe your alignment more aggressive? I rotate/align yearly...my worst tyre still got 3+mm threads... smile.gif

imho prime3 is just an upgraded eco2...the patterns quite similar so will share some characteristics...

s1n2 is actually all season tyre, same max performance class as s1e2...I went to 4 shops now looking for my size, too bad no more...

Yes i do every 10kkm,its imy bad habit,burn rubber each drive,, been chang8ng tyres every 1 to 1.5yrs,so all those hankooknoerformqnce type tried,v12 so far the best,n next S1e2, s1n2 etc so so,also used ps3,nexen,toyo,

VP3 is different from S1N2 as VP3 has increase the level of grip and also stiffer sidewall compare to S1N2. The S1N2 is truly comfort tyre where the noise level is very minimal and the tyre provide good riding due to soft tyre giving more buffer. However S1N2 is not good in attacking corner due to softer sidewall and in fact it is not suit for heavy car like older BMW, Merc or Audi.

The VP3 is designed as touring sport tyre where it has stiffer sidewall where car can push further in corner and better grip in dry and wet (but not extreme grip). VP3 is absolutely suit for "turbocharged" vehicle as the predecessor VP2 is OE fitted to VW Golf 1.4, Beetle 2.0 (GTI engine) and Hyundai Santa Fe (400nm torque diesel engine). The VP3 is slightly noisier than and less comfort ride than S1N2 but it certainly perform better. 

S1 evo3 will be launched in 2021 if not mistaken. This tyre is premium UHP and it should perform better than VP3 but of course the price gonna be higher too. I am awaiting this coming since my tyre going to due this year too as already used for 50k km for the VP3.

Just rotated 10k km , before tht mileage already wheel spinning when wet especially on slight slopes ;P
Hankook really susah to replace legendary V12

Just change 4 pcs from V12evo2 to VP3.
Did about 40k km.
I'm done with UHP tyre.. now change to touring and less noise.

So far the absorption on those yellow/red lining bump is great and less annoying.

Mine are 215/45/17.
RM250 /pc at Hankook Master Bandar Puteri Puchong.

From my experience, V12evo2 tyre are great at new.
After it worn out left about 20% and below, then the noise and stiffness is not that good. but the grip on dry/wet still able to maintain.

Now let's see how this VP3 perform.
*
v12 can last 24k km for me also , now no more v12 right

Are you guys okay with using 3-4 year old tyres?

Hi Guys, just to share.

Baru tadi I went to change Hankook Ventus Prime 3. Size 235 40 18

Previously was using PS4, since 2018, dah pakai lama, bunga banyak lagi tapi I think is time to change.

Boleh cakap yang Hankook VP3 ni seriously value for money. Lepas tukar tu hujan lebat, so I try lah pusing pusing. Wet grip not bad .. noise pun okay .. selesa .. memang worth the money lah VP3 ni ..
*
Ya still new,but expect the wet grip not so good
