245/35 R18 Tires

A very, very good tire.

Previously, I had the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3, and I can say that the Asymmetric 6 are considerably better than the evo3 in practically every aspect, grip in both dry and wet conditions and, most importantly, consistency of performance throughout the tire's lifespan.
Straight-line aquaplaning is practically non-existent, even when the tires are close to the TWI, which is much, much better than the evo3. With the evo3, once they were below half tread depth and in wet conditions, I considered their behavior to be dangerous.
The Asymmetric 6 were only €15 more expensive per tire than the evo3, and in my opinion, they are well worth the extra cost. I have much more confidence when driving in a sporty manner, both in dry and wet conditions. The tire's behavior is very linear and progressive, with no surprises.

One point I consider negative is the wear. The left rear tire developed a rather strange wear pattern, it wore significantly more between the center of the tire and the outer shoulder, despite using the same tire pressure on both sides and having the alignment checked and correct. I had never seen anything like this before. It may have been an issue with this particular tire, but fortunately, it did not affect its performance. In this respect, the Hankooks are better, they lasted around 7,000 km more than the Asymmetric 6, and the wear was also more even across the entire tread.
The Asymmetric 6 are slightly more comfortable than the evo3 and also slightly quieter. They also have more rim protection, which is always welcome.

I highly recommend this tire. Also use the Asymmetric 6 on the front axle in size 225/40 R18.

This tire lasted 39,566 km / 24,585 mi, which is less than the Hankooks, but I am perfectly happy to make that trade-off for the extra grip and safety.

A tire that does what it is supposed to do, considering the price.

Previously, I had Continental ContiSportContact 5 RunFlat and replaced them with the standard version of the Hankook (non-RunFlat). In terms of comfort, compared to the Contis, the evo3s are significantly better, mainly because they are not RunFlat, and the overall behavior of the tire is also better for that reason.
The tire performs well on both dry and wet roads when it is new. However, its performance decreases significantly as it wears. Once it is around halfway worn, the levels of grip drop considerably, both in dry and wet conditions.
I do a lot of motorway driving and, on rainy days, straight-line aquaplaning becomes quite noticeable once the tire is more than halfway worn. This does not happen when the tire is new. The traction control also activates quite often, which does not make for a very pleasant experience.
In terms of noise, they are slightly quieter than the Conti´s. The tire wears evenly. It could have a little more rim protection, as there is practically none.

This tire lasted 46,127 km / 28,661 mi, which I consider to be quite good, having only been used on the rear axle.

Very noisy
Wet grip very poor with limited feel prior to losing grip
