πŸ’‘ Is the Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 235/45R18 a Good Tire?

The Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 235/45R18 is an all-season high-performance tire designed for sports sedans and performance coupes. It delivers balanced dry handling and adequate wet traction through its asymmetric tread design and silica-enhanced compound. Ride comfort is moderate with acceptable road noise, though it prioritizes handling response over luxury-car refinement. Tread life is average for the high-performance all-season category without a specific mileage warranty. Rated Good by TireRack based on 322 consumer surveys, it offers year-round versatility but lacks the winter traction of dedicated snow tires. Currently priced from $183.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 235/45R18 is a high-performance all-season tire, designed for drivers of mid-level sports cars, sports coupes and performance sedans who prioritize responsive handling and year-round versatility in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on combining dynamic performance with all-season traction capabilities, including light snow conditions.

The tire features a high-grip, silica-enhanced tread compound that balances traction with lower rolling resistance for improved fuel economy. Its directional tread design includes a continuous center rib flanked by interlocking intermediate blocks and notched shoulders, complemented by four wide circumferential grooves and a V-shaped pattern for water evacuation. Driver feedback points to solid wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and reliable treadwear characteristics in daily use.
