Bought these after using the evo2. Instantly impressed with the tires. Drive on a lot of windy roads and in all conditions have handled what I have asked them to do. Some road noise but nothing untoward. Wear looks to be within my expectations for the roads I drive on.

1200 miles in a BMW i4 e40. Quite impressed, I like this tire a lot. Quiet tires, some noise only on really rough tarmac. Motorway cruising and no spirited driving, so far solid grip in dry and wet, solid braking. Soft, cushioned, comfortable ride. Overall a great tire, seems rolling resistance is pretty low as well. Cannot comment on wear yet.

As I bought the Boxster as my new car back in the summer of 2020, it needed new tires and I decided to switch old N-rated Pilot Sports for the Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3. Had some experience with the evo 2 and liked them, so I gave these a shot. I would not ever buy it as a UHP tire although it grips very well both dry and wet. The steering feel is just terrible and soft, you don't feel much through the tire and the rear end had a wobbly behaviour. I could not trust it. The grip is excellent, but sportiness is hardly there. Later, I put Goodyear Super Sports and I could instantly trust them. I could send it into a corner with more confidence.

I bought these three years ago, and they've held up pretty nicely to some spirited street and club drives. Using them confidently in the rain, they have some noise and a bit of harsh road but, mine are run-flats. Now swapping wheels to something a bit wider and ditching run-flats, I'd like to try something else. I'll be keeping these on the 17" OEM wheels and in the shed in case.

Been driving these about 2000km's in a Mazda 3 1.5 120hp, drove in heavy rain, high speeds and both rough and smooth roads and some spirited action. In short, they feel like a true premium tire, especially on B type of roads with some rough bits, they make the car feel very controlled and connected, offers excellent bump absorbation and feels never crashy. In terms of sidewall rigidness, they are absolutely spot-on in terms of comfort and sportiness balance and they are always ready from the get go, no need for heat to build up to generate grip like other sports tires. These are the best aspects of S3 Evo's. If you push them hard in dry mid-corner or try to make some quick direction changes, you can feel bit vagueness or latency from steering (my previous PS3's were sharper and a bit more connected) but nowhere near bad or loose as a "efficient-energy" oriented type tires. But the worse thing is, they shift the cornering balance of the car from neutral to slightly understeery. Rear end was bit more playful with my PS3's, offering some lift-off action with pointy front end, these one's a bit more safety oriented thus less fun above the limit. In wet S3 Evo's are simply incredible, stick the tarmac like glue, both in brakes and lateral grip. I am amazed how grippy they are in the wet (at least when they are new). My problem with these are excessive road noise in some surfaces. Sometimes they are exceptionally quiet, but in some surfaces they drone like hell. I think this sound fluctuation disrupts comfort more than a steady sound, since the Mazda 3 is a poorly soundproofed car, this problem may well be escalated more. It may not be problem in a premium german car. In summary, S3 Evo's are not the most dynamic tire in nature, not a true Potenza sport like tire, but they feel like quality rubber, with great daily ride capabilites and some added sporty flavours. They will fit great in low to mid powered cars for mildly demanding drivers. Sorry for my english by the way. Ps: mines are 45"ZR"18 ones, i presume 45R18 ones offers softer tirewall therefore are more comfort oriented.

comfortable tires, good grip on dry surfaces, but the tires are very soft, the sides are soft, the direction of the car is inaccurate, the car feels unstable at high speed. They are not performance tires, they are rather car tires without sporting pretensions. tire noise is high at low speeds. I switched to bridgestone potenza, which are just as comfortable, but the steering response has become much more precise. very small rim protection.

I have recently put these on to my W207FL AMG. previous set was conti sc5. the difference is like day and night; considering the early days with contis. really good dry and wet grip. braking and accelerating is also way better. the aids are not kicking in as they used to do. the tread seems a bit soft and deep so that it makes you lean to sides a little bit while tight moves.

My Mercedes CLS had the 'MO' PIRELLI P ZERO fitted when I bought it last summer, in the dry they were great but in the wet they were dreadful, roundabouts had to be navigated with caution, the P ZERO has been around donkeys years and in my opinion, it shows. I had Hankook ventus S1 Evo 3 fitted a couple of weeks ago and they have transformed the way the car handles, they are quiet too, wet handling is vastly improved, no breakaway from the rear or wash out from front. The steering response seems much sharper. It's understandable why this tire is becoming standard fit on several premium high performance cars. I would consider my driving style to be 'average', I like to push on when conditions allow but doubt if I'll ever reach the limit of the tires potential. These tires are notibly cheaper than the more top regarded brands too. I'd highly recommend them. It's early days do I can't comment on wear.

Overall a good tire - came fitted to my Nissan Juke as standard - wet grip seems to be an issue AQUAPLANING alot.

I purchased a 2021 Audi Q7 which came with the HANKOOK VENTUS S1 EVO3 EV (K127E) and the tread did not last 6 months! I went for an oil change and the dealer pointed out that the tread is at 2! My mileage is only 18,000! My wife drives this and it is horrible in the snow! We purchased it around March of 2021. She is a comfort driver. I asked the dealer why they would sell me summer tires that last only 18,000 miles and was told that Audi can't find good tires and this was all they run with? If you are buying a new Audi - be careful! You may be getting tires that need to be replaced in a year, and they are not cheap. If the dealer you are considering buying from fails to mention the mileage you should expect form the new car, find another dealer, and one who will put that in writing! Would have been nice if my sales rep mentioned this. I feel ripped off and let down by the dealer and Audi!

Excellent tires for sporty drivers! My coworker has a E46 328i BMW with these Hankooks, 225/40R19 (93Y) Extra Load. Just a word of caution, these tires are meant for the front of a E46 M3, not the "standard" E46's, it rubs in the wheel wells, especially when lowered!!! A 225/35R19 or 215/35R19 fits a lot better! Ok, with that out of the way, how good are these Hankooks? Dry grip, incredible! Wet grip, well above average! Wear, excellent for UUHP tires! Noise, average Road feedback and handling, very good Comfort, average I highly recommend the Ventus S1 Evo3's, and don't just take my word for it, even big car companies choose these tires! For example: Tesla Model 3 19" rims Skoda Enyaq iV Porsche Panamera And many more! Even Tire Reviews themselves recommend this tire!

Great tire for a car where you don't necessarily the sportiest tire but still like to drive quite ambitious. I have a set of these on my 2006 1.6 Jetta. The car really is not capable of pushing the limits of any more performance oriented tire, that being said I do enjoy flicking the car around roundabouts and even through mountain passes every now and then. What I really like is that the tire gives you alot of confidence all the time. It feels very safe, even when you get to the limit of its grip it doesn't just let go but gives you progressive feedback that it is at its limit. Braking is all around excellent, especially in the wet. I have driven loads of different tires and have a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 A5 on my BMW for example, and when it is rainy braking feels heaps better on the Hankook. I only have two complaints about this tire. While ride comfort is excellent, the soft sidewalls really do not transmit alot of feedback through the wheel. Steering can feel quite vague at times. The other drawback is the noise. One of the loudest tires I have driven so far. This is the only thing about it that would make me consider buying something else. All in all a very good purchase, especially at the price. The value for money is outstanding and the tire never feels budgety. For a more powerful or performance oriented car I would want something else, but for a daily average car this is a great choice, with the main point being that it feels safe and gives you loads of confidence in all conditions.
