Hankook Ventus ST Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 21 reviews

The Hankook Ventus ST receives mainly favorable owner feedback for tread life and dry grip, with wet grip also praised much more often than criticised. Several mid-life and end-of-life accounts support useful mileage and even wear on large SUVs, although the distances vary widely. Eighteen of 21 reviews are positive overall, and value and handling also attract favorable comments. Noise is more often praised than criticised, but three owners find it intrusive, including one mid-life report of increasing noise with wear. With nine reviews lacking a stage of use, the positive durability record does not establish uniform grip retention or refinement throughout its life.

These tires transformed my car. Swapped for Pirelli zero's that had approx 3mm tread left. These are way quieter and loads more grip. I can't comment on longevity as only done about 1k miles but very impressed so far will definitely buy again

All four corners had Ventus ST on them when I bought the car and all tires had approximately 4mm on them. Found them to be noisy on the motorway and A-Roads. Ok around town and superb off road. Dry grip was good but I felt they were skating a touch on very wet roads which made for poor feedback. Definitely a great 4x4 tire but not so great when using them on tarmac.

Overall very impressed with these tires. Opted to change from the Bridgestone runflats that are standard on the BMW X5. Dry grip is very good, wet grip is above average. The other major benefits are they are notably more quiet than other tires I've used and seemed to last longer than others (rear bias on my car and the rear tires lasted 24,000), that's impressive considering most of my miles are fast motorway driving. A lot of people don't realise these tires are actually all-weather tires so they cope well with snow should it come! I would definitely buy again, good value for money compared to others too.

I put these on my 2008 Range Rover Sport as the Pirelli Scorpions didn't seem to last too long, and I was amazed by these tires. More comfortable ride, very quiet, fuel economy increased by 2mpg, and, get this, on a big heavy vehicle, these tires lasted 50,000 miles!!! Will defo buy again for any vehicle

Put two of these on the rear and the difference in road noise is nothing short of incredible. Wear looks to be very good as well. Have just replaced front tires with the same and car has a completely different driving experience. Quieter, more balanced, much better directional stability. Have previously run Bridgestones and Dunlops. Had the car from new and now at 170,000 miles. These tires transform the driving experience

Excellent tire for the money especially in the wet, i'd say probably the best in the price range and better than a lot of premium tires, highly recommended on my T5, i will be using again and again.

Mine were the Hankook RH06 versions. Got over 35000 miles out of them with nice even tire wear. Compare that to the 12000 miles I got out of continentals.
Great grip in dry, above average in wet. Also capable in mud.
Not noisy and also cheap. What's not to love about them?

car originally fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Zeros and I have had several replacments sets. These are a good tire, but the Hankook Ventus ST are far superior in all aspects. I would definatly continue to use these. Supply is not easy..........
