Driven 20k KM so far, still put a smile on my face.

finally i found the Tyre with good dry and wet grip with high comfort level with low noise.

8/10: It feels like a 50 series touring tire running at 35 PSI.
9/10: Very comfortable and very litter bumps on uneven roads.
9/10: Low noise on rough road, but very quiet on highway.
8/10: Good traction in the dry & wet road.
9/10: A very good value for money product.

Review your Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 >

I have a 400+ rwhp rear wheel drive car. When I purchased these tyres the car was around 300rwhp and the tyres were adequate. Since the mods I cant feed more than 1/4 throttle in wet at any speed. But that's not the tyres fault. Its not designed for cars with this power and torque. As I said when the car was stock these tyres were fine, not great but at that time I wanted tyre life as it was a daily.

The dry grip seems to be ok, they're not Bridgestone Adrenalin Re003 or Michelin PS4 sticky, but they're more than enough for a family mpv (I did use Potenza RE003 and PS4 on a family mpv), but they will aquaplane dangerously on road with poor drainage and puddle. Aquaplaning at 100km/h on a highway isn't fun and scary, but these tyres will aquaplane easily at more 80km/h and would actually lift both front tyres without any grip whatsoever. Aquaplane once at an 80km/h bend and needed to counter steer the oversteer moment in a FWD family mpv, which is not usual with my other set of tyres (Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama). Dry grip is not bad, they're better than the Yokohama that was an OEM tyre from the factory, could lean on it and progressively understeer with enough warning so you could control the understeer. They're noisy after 20,000km, but they will last a long time. If I'm not mistaken they're in the 500 treadwear, but replaced them at 35,000 because I got a puncture and sidewall was destroyed because of that.

It takes a pair of bad donuts, for you to realize the good donuts your have.
For my case, the good donuts are Hankook Ventus S1 noble2, the bad 1 is BF Goodrich Advantage.

After 2 years & 20,000km+/- on rear wheel, thread is still around +/-70%. Goodrich at the front is balding / flaking bad on the shoulder at 25,000km & aquaplaning in mild rain at 90kmh.

Too bad the my local dealer said Hankook is discontinue this model very soon.
Now I've got 4 good donuts, drive with peace of mind

switched from bridgestone GR100 when switched to S1 Noble 2...much better grip, and paid 60% of the price for much better quality.. I'll buy again.

switched from the Pirelli Cinturato P7 recently, this tire feels more comfortable and has more dry grips too. steering feedback has also improved noticeably, the only complaint is that the road noise is getting intrusive at speed >120km/h.

comparing to other tires I've used previously on the same car:
Michelin PS3 - similar dry grip but S1 Noble2 gives better steering feedbacks
Bridgestone S001 RFT - better traction and steering feel too but S1 Noble2 is more comfortable

I have been use hankook ventus s1 noble 2 for 10.000km. It still comfort for my car with a bad soundproofing from stocks. Good grip and handling.

switched from gross axx bridgestone er33 supposely standard on all lexus or so called "premium tires"....made a huge difference when switched to s1 noble 2...much better grip, less noise...paid 75% of the price for much better quality..

Good tyre

Amazingly quiet and comfortable. Seriously. Very ridiculously comfortable. Makes Manila roads feel liveable and keeps you sane on the daily commute, while still putting a smile on your face during high speed cornering. For costing less than 80% of PS4, dry and wet grip are both really good, but of course not as great as PS4. Can't say anything about wear as I've only run them for a while.

Put a full set on in Dec 16 and they are done at 72,500 km of daily driving. Only time I have noticed wear was wet corner last week (oh and I was going a bit quick).
The original Bridgestone's fitted to my 2015 Mazda 6 Wagon lasted 48,600 vs Hancock 72,500.

The Hancocks are cheaper last longer, handle better, stop better, just better.

I had Hancocks on my 2012 Mazda 6 Wagon as well and got 70,000 plus from each set. It wore 3 sets before I traded.
