Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Top 3 Hankook Ventus V2 Concept Reviews

Given 60% while driving a Mazda 6 Wagon (210/45 R18) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
Bought two brand new in September of 2021 for the front wheels. The right tire died on me after 5 months, possibly from spending about 10 minutes stuck in snow and ice, trying to reverse up an unpaved driveway. I was shocked at the lack of grip given I was reversing and most of the weight is over the front wheels. There was quite a bit of snow and ice. The next day I discovered the tire was completely flat.

The thread of the tire is high and it makes you worth to buy it. I managed to used it about 70000km for about 2 years and a half.

Original hankook ventus v2 concept is made in korea. i did not get a chance to try them but i read on forums and heard from car owners that they are excellent tires.

however, not to be confused with "ventus v2 concept 2", which are made in indonesia, some say thai. concept 2 tires are being rated as rubbish

Rubbish. 1 nicked a curb after one month and blew out. 2 worn down to steel belt on the sides before main tread were worn down (yes the car is in alignment). Not reliable and dangerous after 35,000 miles.

If your stuck with limited budget, grip level so and so...this is the tire for you. Noisy as hell after being used 1 year. My advice if comfort is your choice then avoid choosing this tire.
