I got 20x9 20x10.5 F14's now I need tires. I had leaned toward Nitto Invo but the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 caught my eye as well. Anyone running these and if so how do you like them?

I love my evo 2's. They are a bit soft for the sand paper Texas roads though.

I love them too! Just put a lot of them on my wheel wells tonight though lol. They really are great tires.

kcsr6 · 06-05-2014, 09:18 PM

What sizes are you each running?

45thAnniversary2SS · 06-05-2014, 09:46 PM

275/40ZR20

I've got them too and really like them. They feel like they've got better wet grip than the PZeros (not that it rains enough in Phoenix to truly test this theory!) and are quiet.

The Ventus Evo 2's are great, all of my customers are very pleased with their sets, they are a very popular tire.

Are you running any specials on them? I need tires as my wheels are sitting in boxes waiting to go on the car.

Wonder how they are for auto crossing? I have Invos now and they are o.k., not the best. Evos on my Camry and fine for just the street.

The Hankook EVO 2 is a very solid all around performer.

For Auto X Look at BFG Rivals or Michelin Super Sports. Rivals would be my pick.

I have them on my Corvette. Really nice tire for the price.

I had the Ventus on my CTS-V and loved them......for the first 8,000 miles. Then they got slimy and wouldn't perform. Sold the car before the next tires but I would have went back to PS2's. Expensive but they lasted 22k miles of hard use.
