Review
I was previously on Yokohama Advan Sport, then the precedessor of the V12 and finally on the Ventus V12 Evo. 205/45/R16. After scrubbing in, the dry and wet grip of the tyres were amazing. I was able to corner comfortably knowing that the grooves were able to expel water quickly. The stopping power was better than I've expected. Noise level in the cabin was acceptable.
With proper alignment and TCL on these tyres, they will last easily more than 60,000 km.
Comparing other UHP tyres with Z rating, you're getting the best dollar for dollar performance from Ventus V12 Evo.
What I like
High performance tyre with an affordable price tag
What I do not like
None

Review
Read about hankook decided to give it a try. Slightly cheaper and performed better in the dry than my previous tyre. However in the wet, you'll have to be more cautious as it doesnt drain water as efficiently as I expected.
The tyre compound is a little soft. Rides well and seems to glide over humps more comfortably and it isnt as noisy as I expect it would be. In fact, it might just be the quietest tyre I've bought. Value for money for family cars. Will try the other models in future.
What I like
Good grip in the dry
Quiet
Comfortable ride
What I do not like
Water drainage isnt efficient enough

These set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo wouldn't give you the comfortable, smooth ride, but gives your car the extra boost needed to be pushed to its limits! Grips on dry or wet tarmac perfectly, the way you wanted sports tyres to perform for you. Slightly noisy, not so quiet compared to other comfortable tyres. Performs like a beast round bends, tight roads, sharp corners, all done for you by these set of tyres. I am definitely blown away by what these tyres had to offer for me.
What I like
Superb handling and performance offered by these set of tyres. Definitely worth every cent I paid for!
What I do not like
Isn't a laid back, comfortable set of tyres, so most daily drivers won't be looking at these for any longer than a minute.
Good tyres for the price. | Posted on 12 Aug 2013 |

Review
Not bad at all, very comfortable and a quiet tyre. However, the downside is that these tyres are quite soft, so they roll a bit on the corners. These are not top-performance tyres at all but will be fine for a family car. Grip on dry tarmac is excellent, wet is better than average but not fantastic. Feedback from the road is more than I'm used to though. The tyres seem to tramline a bit. Also, the steering now feels very light, presumably due to the lack of friction between rubber and road. It often feels like you are not in control of the wheels. Safety would be a factor, hence this tyres don't meet this criteria all too well.
What I like
Good performance on the road, gripping well on both dry and wet roads, quiet and comfortable.
What I do not like
The soft sidewalls of these tyres makes it a chore to do cornering. Most newbies to these set of tyres would feel insecure.

Review
Quiet and comfortable while still having good grip. Even though this Hankook tyre doesn't grip roads like glue, the grip on both dry and wet roads are still good. The braking distance is alright and my wife managed to get almost 37k km out of these tyres. One thing I didn't like was that the sidewalls were too soft and cornering is not very stable.
What I like
Performance is easily worth the price tag, lasts quite long
What I do not like
Sidewalls are too soft
Noisy, but the grip is good and the ride is comfortable | Posted on 20 Jun 2013 |

The only negative things I can think of to say about these tyres is that they are quite noisy and that the sidewalls are too soft. Other than that, the dry and wet grip is excellent and the ride is very comfortable. Cornering and braking is decent, and the lifespan is decent too. Quite worth the price tag it comes with.
What I like
Dry and wet grip is excellent while the comfort is still good. Cornering and braking performance is decent, and so is the treadlife
What I do not like
Noisy and sidewalls are too soft

Hyundai Getz
Review
Tires are great on dry, good on wet and easy on pocket too. Downside is that, the sidewalls are soft, not great for negotiating corners. Less noisy compared to other tires I have used like Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval and Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.
What I like
Handles well on both dry and wet. Less noisy compared to some performance summer tires.
What I do not like
Soft sidewalls, not ideal for those who likes to negotiate sharp corners.
