Hankook Ventus S1 evo2

Max Performance Summer

Replaced by the Ventus S1 evo 3 Replaces the Ventus S1 evo

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 is a premium max-performance summer tyre that blends strong everyday usability with genuine UHP capability. Across independent tests it regularly lands in the upper mid-pack to front pack, impressing in braking, efficiency and refinement. Owner feedback is more mixed, but still leans positive, with many drivers praising grip, steering feel and value. The main trade-offs are tread life and some size-to-size inconsistency, particularly in the wet as the tyre ages.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 75 reviews

Drivers' feedback on the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 is mixed but leans moderately positive. Many high-scoring reviews praise strong dry and wet grip, confident handling/feedback, and good value, with several noting solid performance even on powerful cars and occasional track use. However, a significant minority report fast/uneven wear, increasing noise with age, and weaker wet grip for some fitments; a few mention vibration or sidewall/foam issues. Overall, the S1 evo2 suits drivers prioritizing performance and price, but longevity, noise, and wet consistency can be concerns.

Only driving to work on flat covered road including express road. One of new tyres got completely flat so had to get replaced only after driven 4 month (under 300km) of new car. Two front tyres completely worn out below legal limit with 25,000km. Absolutely rubbish in quality, and we feel A4 is lower in grade than other premium cars on the market.

11000 miles since being fitted, and both front tyres on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe are not far off the wear indicators. Would have expected a higher mileage from them, especially as the majority of the vehicles use is motorway driving.

I have this tires since 2020 and I drive with them around 27.000km and still they have 6mm tread thickness, but one tire is damaged, some wires inside him brake down and now I have an uneven rolling surface. At around 35kmh I have a bumpy ride and I have the feeling that the tarmac is waved and because of this problem, at 130kmh I have a vibration on the hole car. I would say that this tires are maximum OK. But I will go back to Continental and Michelin.

Overall good summer tyres. They are now probably halfway their lifespan and still performing well in the "warmer" months of the year here in northeastern Europa (Netherlands & Belgium). Since I use Michelin Crossclimate+ tyres from October to March I have been able to split the miles I've driven over two sets of tyres. That being said, they are still doing well even though they are now getting on in mileage. There is still around 5,5-6.0 mm tread left on them. I usually drive in quite a conservative manner, but occassionally do like to hook some corners and look for the limits on quiet roundabouts. Must say, they definitely give confidence when pushed a bit. Since the allseason Michelins are a different size (205/55 R16) and obviously used in the colder months of the year, it is hard to compare them in terms of fuel usage. On average they seem to do about the same. I used to have 16 inch summer tires (Vredestein Sportrac 5) and those did give about 5% better mileage. But nowhere near as nice to drive and in most summer conditions these 17 inch Hankooks allow for more fun and speed before the inevitable understuur kicks in. There are probably better summer tyres out there, but if you can get them relatively cheap (as I did) they're a great choice.

Second Hankook tires and a big disappointment. Grip in the dry is average while in the wet they are catastrophic. They slide in corners both fast and slow, there is simply no grip. Winter tires have far more wet grip. Never again Hankook.

After a bit more than 20.000 km these tires have noticeably less grip than at the start of their life. They have handled very strangely from the start. Car is acting like it was on rails on roads that are a bit tracked by heavy traffic. I've never felt this in my entire driving "career". These tires don't have wheel protection lip which, besides not having alloy wheel curb protection, also makes them look a bit strange. Not a bad tire, but I am much more satisfied with my winter set of Kleber Krisalps.

(AO) In the 4th year there were cracks on the tires, especially visible between the blocks. In general, the condition is good. At the tire fitting they said, after 4 years of operation, change it, as it began to crumble during dismantling. Didn't take risks.

(fitted as default tyres by manufacturer) tyres provide excellent grip in dry + wet, good & sporty feedback on the steering. Tend to get a bit louder while aging over time
