Driven 20k KM so far, still put a smile on my face.

These are mounted on an after market set of rims to New Zealand’s South Island for the winter ski season. From mid June to early October. Only got them in August but I have done 5,000 km on them.
Impression when compared to the OEM Michelin Primacy 4 235/55r19 is a softer stickier compound which does indeed stay softer in lower temperatures such as frosty mornings. The Primacy gave me a couple of scary moments on early morning ice in June (winter down under) so I got the Hankooks for the colder weather. Haven’t had them break loose yet! They are grippy in the dry and being brand new the wet too, possibly more so the pan the Primacy. Tread depth is 7.5mm in the central two grooves and interestingly only 7.0 mm in the outer two. The sipes are not full depth like the Primacy so the wet and snow grip may suffer as they wear. Snow grip was good on lightly dusted ski field roads, also on a muddy slurry overlying gravel roads.
Noise is slightly higher than half worn Primacy he mid frequency range I think but not obtrusive even in the EV.
The only thing that stops me running them all year is the reduction in range. Consumption of power went down from 21 kWh per 100km (adjusted for the 3-4% greater tyre size of the Hankooks) to about 18 when I swapped back to the Michelins.
The wheel plus tyre weight is I think very similar when both tyres are brand new. The Michelins have lost 500g in 40,000km (rotated) which is a loss of 3mm tread from the 6.5mm when new. The Hankooks averaging front and rear have worn about 0.5mm in 5000km but it’s hard to tell accurately yet.
So a good purchase for the winter weather here when we get little snow on the flat, just ice, and are required to use snow chains on ski field roads anyway if it actually snows.

Not great traction. Wear experience is not good. 38000 miles and need to be replacing soon. 3/32 tread left.

I have the Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 tires on my 2018 GMC Terrain with 2L Turbo. I am coming up on 70,000 miles and I estimate they should last another 6 months. I have had very good luck with this brand.

After 24,000 miles I have 3/32 tire tread. Unacceptable. Normal driving mostly city and highway. All roads are paved.

As an OEM tire on car, they normally try to give you a decent wearing tire. In this case, they did not. Having to replace tires before 35,000 miles is ridiculous. Manufacturers try to hard to give a smooth soft ride on a new car at the expense of durability. And they also increase tire size for cushion, but 19" tires are not normal and therefore expensive.

While driving it on a powerful FWD car it is an allround good tyre. No major cons. Maybe because it is an american all weather tyre it is a little weaker in the wet. If you are trying to accelerate fast in the wet. But that is also common problem for a front wheel drive car with more power. All in all, a good tyre for its price and the wear is quite good after 41000 km there’s still about 5-6 mm of thread left.

I have a 400+ rwhp rear wheel drive car. When I purchased these tyres the car was around 300rwhp and the tyres were adequate. Since the mods I cant feed more than 1/4 throttle in wet at any speed. But that's not the tyres fault. Its not designed for cars with this power and torque. As I said when the car was stock these tyres were fine, not great but at that time I wanted tyre life as it was a daily.

The dry grip seems to be ok, they're not Bridgestone Adrenalin Re003 or Michelin PS4 sticky, but they're more than enough for a family mpv (I did use Potenza RE003 and PS4 on a family mpv), but they will aquaplane dangerously on road with poor drainage and puddle. Aquaplaning at 100km/h on a highway isn't fun and scary, but these tyres will aquaplane easily at more 80km/h and would actually lift both front tyres without any grip whatsoever. Aquaplane once at an 80km/h bend and needed to counter steer the oversteer moment in a FWD family mpv, which is not usual with my other set of tyres (Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama). Dry grip is not bad, they're better than the Yokohama that was an OEM tyre from the factory, could lean on it and progressively understeer with enough warning so you could control the understeer. They're noisy after 20,000km, but they will last a long time. If I'm not mistaken they're in the 500 treadwear, but replaced them at 35,000 because I got a puncture and sidewall was destroyed because of that.

It takes a pair of bad donuts, for you to realize the good donuts your have.
For my case, the good donuts are Hankook Ventus S1 noble2, the bad 1 is BF Goodrich Advantage.

After 2 years & 20,000km+/- on rear wheel, thread is still around +/-70%. Goodrich at the front is balding / flaking bad on the shoulder at 25,000km & aquaplaning in mild rain at 90kmh.

Too bad the my local dealer said Hankook is discontinue this model very soon.
Now I've got 4 good donuts, drive with peace of mind

switched from bridgestone GR100 when switched to S1 Noble 2...much better grip, and paid 60% of the price for much better quality.. I'll buy again.

switched from the Pirelli Cinturato P7 recently, this tire feels more comfortable and has more dry grips too. steering feedback has also improved noticeably, the only complaint is that the road noise is getting intrusive at speed >120km/h.

comparing to other tires I've used previously on the same car:
Michelin PS3 - similar dry grip but S1 Noble2 gives better steering feedbacks
Bridgestone S001 RFT - better traction and steering feel too but S1 Noble2 is more comfortable

I have been use hankook ventus s1 noble 2 for 10.000km. It still comfort for my car with a bad soundproofing from stocks. Good grip and handling.

switched from gross axx bridgestone er33 supposely standard on all lexus or so called "premium tires"....made a huge difference when switched to s1 noble 2...much better grip, less noise...paid 75% of the price for much better quality..

Good tyre
