I recently got the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 here in Australia, and immediately after installing them, on the weekend I was beating on them hard on some A & B (mostly mountainous) roads for 1000km in my boosted 86 (300rwhp), and from my experiences they are an excellent tyre.

They are a slightly noisy tyre (about a 7/10 for noise, 10 being quiet, and 0 being super noisy), but have excellent dry grip, and excellent damp grip (I haven't driven them in the full rain, but have driven them on cold (10c) and damp roads). Braking distances are also good. I would probably rate the side wall flex to be medium (not the firmest nor the softest I've come across). In terms of what I've experienced in them the only thing I can't give review on its what its treadlife is going to be.

For the price (here in Australia), they are an excellent tyre.

Cheers
