Hankook Ventus V12 evo k110 245/35 R17 SEAT Ibiza Cupra 20VT 30,000 miles February 23, 2015
I bought these tires originally out of necessity, due to the not so popular tire size that I wanted to try.
After I got rid of the factory alloy wheels with 205/40/17, I have installed the WORK CR-KAi 17x8 and in the 8 inches width I wanted to have a tire that took advantage of my wheels!

The first time I have put the K110 I was pleasantly surprised by their overall performance! Very good at dry, very good at wet and they have also seen some track use during the summer.

Overall it is an excellent value for money tire with good mileage and unless you drive like a hooligan, this tire will never leave you down!

So now I am on my second set of k110 and I confirmed my original conclusions. It is an excellent and honest all around summer tire, nothing more, nothing less!

Really good tire in the dry but unpredictable in the wet. Good wear & comfortable for a low profile tire!
