Great Traction, Excellent Price.

Currently driving in the 500 mile break in period that is normally needed for new tires. After 300 miles, I took a quick corner without traction control on and they stick decently. 235/45/17's Still better than my previous two front tires.

Reason for Purchasing: Only option at the time otherwise I would have picked up the Yokohama S Drive, but not disappointed a bit.

Would recommend Yokohama S Drive if you want extremely good traction dry/rain by far the best tire I've ever tried compared to all the other brands and models I've tried under the $200 price point.

Grippy, excellent dry, wet and snow handling characteristics. Corners very well.

road noise a bit more than OEM's, but these tires are W rated and a bit more noise is expected

Just changed out OEM Goodyear RSA's. The Hankook Ventus V4 ES size 245/45ZR18 have thus far performed above my expectations versus the Goodyears. The Ventus V4's handle extremely well on dry roads and corner like a rail. Even better, you can't shake these tires loose on wet roads (I drove through a rainy deluge during a 2 hour jaunt down the parkway) and no hydro-planing whatsoever! Starting to snow in the north east now - 2 to 4 inches of snow conditions and these tires grip extremely well. My car has traction control and with these tires, the car has not engaged traction control anywhere near as many times when I had the OEM's. Overall great tire for the cost!!!
