Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 review

“Getting new tires I’m replacing my OEM tires (Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 sized 235/50R19). They’ve got 80,000 miles on them. I’ve had a good experience with them. My tire guy has about 3 tires in the $200 (installed) range. Right now I’m leaning towards the Hercules Raptis ® R-T6X. Who has experience with these? Does that sound like a decent choice? I want to spend the money I need to on good tires, but don’t want to spend the most money just because. Read more”

“Update 3: 20K Miles Front Tread: 8/32nd's remaining Rear Tread: 5-6/32nd's remaining The fronts have been wearing at an incredibly slow rate! :thumbsup: The rears wore quickly in the first 10K, but this seems to have slowed considerably in the next 10K. 20K Mile Verdict: Competes with or beats the best on the market today at a lower cost.”

As promised, I'd continue to report on these tires and with todays showers and mixture of oil/grime and left over sand from the sleet we recently had, the tires are doing as well as expected. Of course with the sand, it is easy to break the rear-end loose but it breaks when expected, no surprises.”

“Originally Posted By: SHOZ I have them on my Genesis Coupe 2L for a year now. Went to 50 series over the OE 45 series. No complaints at all. I ended up going back and ordering them +1 size. OEM is 215/45/17. I went with 225/45/17. They seem to be better suited and less stretched for my application. Ended up costing $410 total for them.”

“I put Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 tires on mine and couldn't be any happier. They rate and perform almost identical to the Michelin Pilots for a lot less money. Very high customer reviews too.”

“Not many years back, I would not have even given thought to a tire with 500 treadwear - no grip & hard as a rock. It doesn't seem to apply anymore. Modern compounds are such that a tire can be built to both grip And last. I doubt I will ever buy a tire under 300 treadwear again (used to look for 200). It will probably be fall before I purchase, but these S1 Noble 2's are on the short list.”
