Car - 06 Polo GTI
Rim Size - 17"x 8J
Tyre - Hankook VENTUS V8 RS (H424)
Tyre Size - 215/40/ R17
Km's On this Tyre - around 10,000km


Cornering:
I definitely feel more inspired round corners. When you doing a very hard cornering it makes you feels like its a rubber it sticks to the road, good feedback as they approach the limit.
Traction:
The tyres surface is soft, so i guess that's why it sticks to the road, but the bad thing is it wear out fast. Excellent dry grip and only puts a foot wrong in the rain when provoked. If you want me to compare with Dunlop Direzza DZ101 which used on my Golf MK4 VR5, I will pick Hankook VENTUS V8 RS , when i do a fast "hard core cornering" on the DZ101 it will start fling a bit, but for Hankook, it doesn't.
Road noise:
it i definitely feel more silence then what i had before (Continental Compact Sport 2 CCS2)
Will I buy again:
I may buy these tires again because they can make a car more predictable, but i wanna try the Hankook RS-2 or VENTUS V12 EVO.
But then The VENTUS V8 RS is definitely a budget tyres(around HKD$8xx) and haven't been disappointed since. And now i have a new perspective ways on Hankook... Korean tyres!
===========================================
Okay as usual let the pics speak!
Tyres still okay to go for a bit more. This is the rear tyres, forgot to take pics for front tyres

It sticks to sand and little rocks, i took this picture when i do just a little bit hard cornering.

For example Japanese tyres can use around 3 years, but for Korean tyres mostly 2 years, but now Korean tyres can gives you what you need in performance, so change a bit early can save you life and money.
