Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means245/40 R18
245 · Width
The tyre is 245 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
40 · Profile
Sidewall height is 40% of the width — a low profile, giving sharper steering response.
R18 · Rim
Fits an 18-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 sits in our middle price band across the sizes we track. Hankook highlights its groove-generated turbulence cooling system, which increases contact area and releases heat quickly for consistent driving performance. EU label results vary by size: wet grip is mostly B with one A rating, fuel efficiency ranges from D to B, and noise runs 66–71 dB. Check the label on your specific size before buying.

Wet grip

EU label B in 3 sizes, A in 1; solid but not top-tier

Heat-control and contact-area claims; no UHP wording
A good fit if you…
  • Do mixed everyday and longer-distance driving in a passenger car
  • Want a mid-priced summer tyre with decent wet grip
  • Drive a performance-oriented hatch or sedan on the sizes listed
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Need one tyre with consistent label ratings — these vary by size
  • Expect top fuel efficiency in every size — some rate D

    These guys are almost as fast and professional as a Formula One Pit Crew, with great prices to match. Big ups for transparently displaying your prices on your website, and for your focus on getting unstocked tyres in by midday next day. Called them at 3pm, had new tyres by 1pm today. Amazing service.
