After 5000 km with Kumho Ecsta PS72 i was fed up with vibrations and rebalancing and trying everything to make them run smooth. I switched to Michelin PS5 and what an absolutely lovely tire. The car is completely different. Stable, quiet, comfortable and vibration free. This tire is well known and don’t need any presentation. Buy them and enjoy your car. They just work perfectly!

I couldn’t stand the vibrations and bought Michelin Pilot Sport 5 instead. The shop was really service minded so they took the Kumhos back. Got them switched out today and all vibrations issues are gone and comfort level raised many steps. Will stick to top tier tires from now on.

Update after 5000 km / 3100 miles.
Everything is great with the tires except i have annoying vibrations between 100-120 km/h.
Just got them re-balanced but it did not solve the problem. My other rims and winter tires run smooth so its not the car.
Maybe also got some Kumho out-of-round issue here. Sorry to say it but this will make me hesitate to buy them again.

Would not buy this brand ever again. Only bought as I couldn't get another imperial all season driver in this size on short notice.
In the dry it's ok but in the wet or icy conditions forget about it and the wear is terrible

Hankook Ventus Evo rated 100% while driving a Hyundai Kona N

Just had 2 of these fitted to my Hyundai Kona N replacing the front oem Pirelli's which lasted just over 8K miles. Big difference just in the drive home. No chance to assess performance in the wet, but the steering feels softer, there's improved feedback from the front, and the ride is more comfortable as well. The rear oem Pirelli's have plenty of life in them so will keep them on for time being, but will upgrade to the Hankooks once tire life has been reached. Very pleased with the purchase.

They handle well, have good wet grip and excellent dry grip for my slow car however the wear was quite fast.
Although they are very reliable all the way to the wear limits, would only buy again if fitting to a car I don't drive much.

Got these after reading reviews at tirereviews.com, replacing the OEM Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 tires on our Tesla Model 3. And they have lived up to the reviews. Compared to the Hankooks, they give a much more comfortable ride on good surfaces, as well as poor ones and over bumps in the road, but still allowing you to feel connected to the road. The ride also feels really planted, with excellent grip, giving me more confidence around corners and in the rain. Noise levels may be marginally higher, and EV efficiency has gone down slightly (134 instead of 121 Wh/km). Remaining factor will be tire life - I got 55,000km out of the Hankooks, so hopefully I get something similar with these Continentals. I am still curious to see what the Hankook iON AS tires are like, but the extra cost of those over these Continentals makes me think more than twice about getting them, so likely to stay with these Continentals next time.

Bought these to replace Kormoran UHP.
Wanted a "top 5" tire, but at the best price as possible. Came over Hankook ventus Evo, as a good allrounder option. Compared with the usual Ps5, Asymetric 6, and Premium contact 6/7, Pirelli C7 cf3, the hankook at least in norway came at a better price. I have not yet tested evo s1 or evo s3. I am not sure where the Ventus evo sits between the prime and S1 series performance wise. Maybe between those two.
I am not to say the Ventus Evos are better than any of the other mentioned options. But for what they replaced the difference is night and day! And for myself and 95% of other drivers, we wont be able to tell much difference betweens these evos and any of the other premium brands. This is how good the top tires are nowadays. I earlier have had premium contact 6 and primacy 4 on my cars for reference. The hankooks are more comfortable than both of those, but maybe not the same initial steering response than the contis. But at normal driving, you will never notice.
The upside are as mentioned; comfort, a solid, even handling caracteristic, maybe the best wet grip i have ever felt. The abs almost dont interfear anymore when panic-braking at wet surface! In norway with over 300 rain days per year, that means a lot!
The other positive are rolling resistance. The car glides like ive never felt before, better than contis and michelin, and heaps better than the kormoran, wich felt like driving with the brakes on.
The sidewall looks the best, on par with pilot sport series. And a nice, subtle rim protector also.
Have not tested wear yet, but normally in norway tires get changed because of age before wear, because of the extra winter set and the low speeds/cold clima. We dont wear out tires as fast as in the warm, high speed countries. I suspect wear will not be an issue for me.
All in all a great tire and i mabye have forund my go-to, allround tire in the Hankook Ventus Evo !
Strongly recommed this.

Stood on the car when i bought it. Drove theese for 1,5 summer season. Three words; Do Not Buy!
My background is a tire nerd. And experience from only the best tires. So this tire came as a shock.
- Wear, terrible. From 3mm to the cords at 8000km.
- Road noise, extremely hugh and boomy. Passangers thought wheel bearing where gone.
- wet grip. Borderline dangerous. A lot of understeer and terrible wet braking.
- dry grip. Ok. But the same time this is the only tire i've lost grip on spritited but controlled driving.
- driving feel. Not consistent. Sometimes good, and sometimes it feels like the sidewall desintegrates.
Later changed to Hankook Evo Prime. And the difference is night and day in every terms!
Dont save hundred dollars on the difference between safe and unsafe tires!

I replaced the OE Pirelli P7’s, which had outstanding wear characteristics (37k and still had 3mm) but had poor wet grip and had huge tire roar in the cabin, with these Continental AllSeason tires back in November 2022. They are excellent. Fantastic grip in the wet and in snow and wear seems to be going well too, having covered 16k and they still have 4mm all round. And the biggest bonus is the lack of tire roar in the cabin too. Obviously these have now been superseded by the 2’s but I’m sure they’re just as good.

New tire without any reviews when i bought it. But Kumho is decent tires and PS71 have been doing really good i recent tests and i tought that the successor must be at least as good. I have zero regrets buying this tire. Its really grippy, responsive and fun to drive. The Michelin E-primacy i had on the car before was really boring and terrible wet grip, but would probably last longer than i could stand keeping them. The PS72 is really close to the Continental Sport Contact 6 i had on other cars before in real world driving. The only thing i dont know about is the wear. The tires is really soft and thats fun but time will tell how well they last.
At least when new - a perfect tire for the sporty daily driver!

I can tell you I switched to Conti SC7 this year, and boy, are they brilliant. Unlike Bridgestone Potenza Sport, I think these are stickier. I disliked Potenzas because they became very plasticky after one season, and worse after that. They also required more time to get heat and grip in them, and they were also extremely loud and harsh due to the rock-solid sidewalls. Granted, that gives you somewhat better steering precision but on normal roads - the comfort was awful. SC7 are just perfect:)
