Hankook Ventus V2 concept 2 All-Season Radial Tire - 225/55R16 V

These tires are well balanced, I lined the red dot with the valve stem and there’s no shimmy at all! They ride quiet and hold the road well, very satisfied with these tires

Great price and quick delivery

Great tires so far. These tires are directional. The directional label is very small. On my tires the driver's side outside of the tire had a small red dot. And, the passenger side had a small yellow dot. Make sure the installer gets the direction right. The tire installer explained that installing the tires contrary to each tire's directional arrow will result in faster wear, tire noise and vibration.

I got these for my 2003 Mustang because literally no retail store had tires to fit my car anywhere in the super remote place I live, and I was on a spare. Brick and mortar stores gave me pretty $$$ quotes and 3 weeks waiting for them to be shipped. My mechanic suggested Amazon. What, really, you can buy tires on Amazon? You sure can! I asked what I should look for and he said "honestly, its just rubber." I purchased these because they were the only ones that would ship here.The first one came faster than expected. Came home to a tire: naked, no wrapper or anything, just a shipping label, just sitting in front of the door of my 2nd story apartment. For some reason I found this hysterical, so did my neighbors. The other 3 came the next Monday and I happened to catch the UPS guy before he hauled them upstairs, and he happily left by to my car instead.Wasn't exactly sure how you fit a total of 5 tires in a Mustang, especially if you're a weak slightly disabled chick. I mean, the trunk was already full with the completely obliterated old tire and wheel, which doesn't fit in the spare well. 2 on the back seats, 2 in the front passenger (and they do kind of cross into the driver's side a bit, but it's doable.) Easier than expected but does stink like heck for and linger 2 weeks.Next problem, who will install tires not purchased there? Costco doesn't. I assumed Goodyear wouldn't. Walmart was the cheapest so I tried going there. Literally nightmare dealing with them. Found a local little tire shop that would do it for a bit more, but at this point I don't care. Yay, tires on!Drove home, wheel vibration at 30ish and 60ish. Ugh, crap, they're out of balance or out of round and if they're out of round, dealing with returning them is going to be a nightmare, and getting tires anywhere else will take $$$ and weeks to get here. So, I prayed it was just balance and returned to the shop to have them re-balanced. The kid who did the job said "oh yeah, they didn't need adjustment, balance is totally within spec." I'm like, "well, and they out of round?" He assured me, "oh they're good, totally within spec.... yeah if you're having vibration I think maybe it's a caliper on a front breaks. You need a 2 hour break inspection." Huh?!? I consulted my trusted mechanic who I'd have do my breaks but sadly cannot do tires. He was like "sounds like BS to me, go back and tell them to try again, you paid them to do the job." I called them again "yeah well, if you're having vibration it's probably a loose part somewhere, you need a whole front end inspection for $80. But I guess we can try again with the balance." Ugh, I have no faith in these guys, they're never going to balance my tires properly. But I'm still worried it could be an out of round issue... should I pay another shop $100 to try and balance them, and still maybe discover they're just crap tires? Clearly I should have just bought tires from a real store that can stand by their product.Defeated, I went to Goodyear and explained my situation thinking they wouldn't touch other tires and ready to just $$$$$ for them to get me some tires, and have to wait 3 weeks, and somehow try to get these ones returned. But at least have a solid solution and stop throwing good money after bad.Surprisingly, Goodyear said they do install other tires! And that I could have even had them delivered to the store instead of lugging them around! She was like... look... take your car to the other Goodyear across town, they have a master mechanic and we don't. They will do a whole front end inspection for free, and if there is something wrong, you can even just walk away and go to your regular mechanic to have it fixed, people do it all the time. They'll test drive it, figure out if there's a tire problem, and rebalance your tires for less than $100. So that's what I did. Nothing wrong with my front end, breaks have plenty of pad left, they dont suspect a break issue. They indeed found the tires out of balance and adjusted the weights. One of the tires was just a tiny bit out of round, but not enough to worry about. And when the mechanic did another test drive post balancing, he found vibration was gone. And now that I paid for my balancing there, they'll balance and rotate them for the life of my tires. Just like if i had originally them installed there. Yay!!!! When I drove it... I now feel an ever so slight vibration around 40 mph, is it that tiny bit out of round? Is it something else? Is it in my head? Idk my car is old enough to drink, its so minor I'll just ignore it. Maybe it was there before.But honestly, all issues aside, the tires are great for my purpose. They say all season, but they really handle more like a performance summer tire. Very tight responsive handling. Very smooth, very quiet. I really love how they feel compared to my old ones. I live where the lowest winter low is never even close to 50, so this is great. I wouldn't say their performance in the rain is anything to write home about, but then again rwd is never that great in rain. Turning left out on to the busy main road I live on, with no light, you have to get pretty aggressive, and with any moisture on the road, it was super hard to not skid a little bit in my old clunky all seasons. So far these haven't had that issue. But in heavy rain, i wasnt blown away or anything. All in all, I like the tires, they feel fun.Absolutely only have them installed at place you KNOW you can trust. Make your life easier and arrange to have them shipped there.Are they good tires? Idk. They might not do well in winter. I still suspect they might still be prone to being a little out of round and difficult to balance as others have mentioned, so its a little bit of a gamble. They might be a a good super cheap option if you're looking for something like a fun sporty tire. All hassles aside, I still saved a little $$$ compared to what it likely would have cost even if any shop had tires in stock for me. If they were truly bad tires and out of round enough to worry about, I have 100% faith that Goodyear would have been more than happy to sell me some new ones. I imagine that the way they are shipped could have something to do with it. Packages here tend to come especially beat up during their long travels. Maybe they took a physical beating to get here.Knowing what I know now, would I do it again? I'd mostly rather not. But given being on a donut and facing exorbitant shipping fees, more expensive tires, and having to wait 3 weeks for delivery... I'd do it again and recommend it to anyone in an isolated location, you gotta do what you gotta do.Good luck in your tire shopping!

Great tire!

Work great on my 2001 mustang during mild weather but I put on snow tires in the winter.

Hankook Ventus V2 concept 2Great tires! Completely different ride in 2001 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6

I got them for my E320 MB, 4 stars for quality and comfort but the middle thread kinda locks into the groves of concreted roads. Not as bad a Khumos does.
