Anyone have experience with Hankook Ventus Concept2

[mbogosia]

Looking on getting some tires on a non BMW that I have. The Hankook Ventus Concept2 are in my price range and available at m local store. The car they are going on is not a daily driver and won't ever see snow. I will do some spirited driving but that's about it.

Anyone know if these are decent?

My son has a set on his 318ti M sport. It's a very good, budget priced UHP All Season. Middle of the pack performance.
Check Tire Rack's user ratings charts. I think some newer designs may offer better performance at same price.

Thanks. The first couple reviews on tire rack are pretty bad. But it seems overall they have decent reviews.

I have them. Wish I didn't. They're not confidence inspiring at all. Not great in the rain, they have bad road noise, and they're not especially comfortable. Spend the extra 80 dollars or whatever and move up a tier for performance.

As I said, it's an old design and there are newer , better tires at same price. I've had great luck with 3 different generations of Pirelli P Zero AS over last 10 years. Just not great in snow. About $50 more per set.

I suggest looking at the tire rack test summaries and pick on based on what you think is important and the ride you want.

Well I probably should have asked this earlier because I am stuck with them now. We had some heavy rain the other day and they did great. Although they are brand new. I might also be selling the car so I don't think I'll experience the tires after 5000 miles or so.

There's a lot worse out there for a lot more money. It's a very good tire.
A long time ago I had a set of Goodrich UHP all season. Amazing on dry pavement. On wet pavement it was like taking your life in your hands at every turn. Similar experience with older Contis and Dunlops.
