The Ventus V12 evo2 (K120) is Hankook's Max Performance Summer tire
developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and high
performance sedans who want to express their personality and style.
Designed to deliver impressive traction and handling, Ventus V12 evo2
tires offer comfort and control in warm dry and wet road conditions.
However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in
near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Ventus V12 evo2 radial's high-grip silica tread compound features an innovative functionalized styrene polymer that lowers tire rolling resistance to enhance vehicle fuel economy without surrendering dry and wet traction. This compound is molded into a directional tread design featuring notched shoulders and 3D intermediate ribs flanking a continuous center rib to promote dry handling and traction. Circumferential and aqua jet lateral grooves promote efficient water evacuation from the center of the tire's contact patch to enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. Grooves in the intermediate blocks feature stealth technology and a unique wing tip design that reduces noise.
The tire's internal structure includes two wide steel belts reinforced by two plies of spirally wrapped jointless nylon. High stiffness bead fillers sandwich hard rubber between the sidewall's polyester cord casing plies to improve handling response by resisting distortion at high speeds and while cornering.
Max Performance Summer tires are designed to offer the highest blend of dry/wet traction and handling via the latest in design and technology. Want it all in a tire you can drive and live with on the street? These might be for you.
Today the choices are plentiful and in this test we compare two of the newest. How do they do against the category's top rated?
