Passenger Car Summer Max Performance Tyres

Between 2006 and 2015 I have driven these on highways, cities and mountian roads. <br />
Hundreds of times on the limit and dozens beyond. Very clear linear feedback saved me plenty of times. <br />
The most informative tire I have driven in my life. Worn 2 sets to almost slick. <br />
Drove them in all conditions including snow or ice... never crashed... <br />
20k miles is maximum distance per set of tires if You push on them often when dry <br />
- they can wear before 10k. <br />
Grip was appropriate for the price and the times. Comfort is mediocre as an old jdm car from 90-ties on lowered springs <br />
it lacked the refiniement on bumpy roads at 245/45 sidewall height wasnt enough to smoothen the road cracks. <br />
I can see one can still buy them today since 2010 or so... Interestingly they seem to be still in production. <br />
Thanks to the Bridgestone for making it.

Very good tires, good quality for the price, totally reccomend them ! Used on a Mercedes E Klass 2014

Coming from PS4.The dry grip is at par with the PS4. Wet grip is slightly behind but not that much. I haven't aquaplaned with this yet in heavy downpours. Steering response is razor sharp given that this is 220TW and very stiff sidewalls. <br />
Tyre wear is impressive so far.

These were factory tires on our Mazda mx5 2024. They now have 4/32 remaining tread with only 17000 miles. Only riding summer and regular city/autoroute driving. Won’t buy again.

Tires are amazing the grip is very good in both conditions wet and dry. The car feels stable at high speeds and its a very fun tire for taking corners in general. I had no problems with any vibrations, only tires I can compare them is my old kormonar UHP tires and the difference is big with kumhos the car feels more planted on the ground and steering is more responsive. About comfort and noise levels they are not really that comfortable tires they are more stiffer but again not too stiff they are somewhere in the middle in comfort on bad roads you feel the bumps but its not that bad. Tires are not that noisy you can hear em but not too bad when your drive at normal speeds when you drive faster you hear them more, cant tell much about the wear time will tell but overall the tires are very good for the price.

On a front wheel haval h6 get plenty of wheel spin in take off have to feather accelerator. Only done 10000km and down to 4mm tread so probably only 3k left not good for factory fitted tyres. Definitely won't buy these for replacement.

I recently bought these and my impressions are quite positive so far. I've driven them for about 200 miles mainly on highways at high speeds. <br />
<br />
In the wet they feel like the surface is dry, very impressed with that. Others state the tyres lack some steering feel/ road feedback and that might come from the fact that there isn't much resistance in the steering wheel once you turn in. The steering wheel remains light when you park as well. In spite of this, the tyres react instantly, sharply and precisely to your steering inputs, so I guess it's a matter of time you get used to the steering feel it has. This is my daily car, it's oriented towards stability and comfort, so I can't tell if someone driving a hot hatch will enjoy the Hakook Ventus Evo as much as I do, but I reckon the tyres have got some good dynamics.<br />
<br />
In terms of comfort, I don't find much difference compared to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or the Linglong Sport Master. It's probably a tad bit quieter. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 (that I use as a winter tyre) might be a bit more comfy over harsh bumps and less noisy, however, the Hankooks are way more pleasant to drive and consume a tad bit less fuel (too early to provide actual results, though). Someone mentioned in terms of rolling resistance that the car simply glides on the road and I can report the same too. Hopefully, that will result in better fuel economy in the future.<br />
<br />
I would recommend them to anyone who can't decide whether they need a touring or a UHP tyre. These Hankooks are a great all-rounder.

Had the F1 GSD2 to replace a set of stock ContinentalSportContact CH90 that had no grip but confortable...<br />
<br />
The F1 had a very good grip, had tried them on a frind's car and solved that problem but were just too noisy cornering.<br />
<br />
Also there was no rim protection and smashed two wheels on day 2... on this size the tyres looked like they were smaller than reality.<br />
<br />
Would not buy them again on this size and replaced than with an awesome set of Michelin Pilot Exalto that were a perfect match for car/size.

I replaced Potenza Sport with Potenza Sport Evo to my tuned 911 Turbo S. Bridgestone has improved almost all details as better handling in high speed, wet grip and control in extreme wet roads. For me this is the fastest tire in wet conditions. Compared to Michelin PS 4S, Sport Evo is much better tire.

After 62000 my ContiSportContact 5 got very harsh and noisy.<br />
<br />
Wanted more confortable and silent sporty tyres.<br />
<br />
Was between the Pilot Sport 5 and the Ventus Evo. <br />
Price and the 2026 Summertyre review did the rest!<br />
<br />
Tried on highway, mountain roads.and city driving.<br />
<br />
They are very nice, silent, progressive, and more confortable than the CSC5 as new! Very nice indeed as my car has a hard suspension and very low tyres.<br />
<br />
Hoping for good grip in the wet too...

My first need is: perfect cornering and cotrol on dry or wet tarmac only, for heavy RAM 1500 HEMI truck. This tires, with profile reduced from standard factory 60 to 55, are perfect for this condition. Full control in corners is maintained

I've been ride my Michelin PS5 for almost 25k km, the treads having 75% left. But for my front tyres on my car, it starting to tear off on the inner shoulder (The inner steel belts can be look by eyes). Not sure what's happening on my DOT 3224 tyres (Now May 2026), probably aged or heated because of weather. But overall experience was pretty great.
