πŸ’‘ Is the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 HRS 225/50R17 a Good Tire?

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 HRS 225/50R17 is a summer performance tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers.

Tread life is average for a performance summer tire without extended warranty coverage. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it offers solid performance capabilities but is not winter-rated and may wear faster than touring alternatives. Currently priced from $255.1, it is available through major online tire retailers.
