What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 200: this is a lower-than-typical treadwear grade, common on sport and high-performance tires. Under UTQG a grade of 200 should wear twice as long as the grade-100 control tire on NHTSA's test course; real-world mileage varies with driving, rotation, alignment and climate.
- Traction A: A: second-highest wet-braking grade. Traction is straight-ahead wet braking only; it does not measure cornering or hydroplaning.
- Temperature A: A (highest): resisted heat build-up through the higher 575 rpm test stage.
- Ranked just above in Hankook: Ventus evo Z (median 200).
- Ranked just below in Hankook: veNtus R-s4 (median 200).

Cost-per-mile calculator
Price and mileage data are pending a licensed feed, so nothing is pre-filled. Enter your own quote and your own mileage expectation (for example the maker's treadwear warranty from the tire's paperwork). Formula: cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000).

FAQ
What is the treadwear rating of the Hankook veNtus R-S2?
NHTSA's UTQG data lists a single treadwear grade of 200 for the Hankook veNtus R-S2, from 11 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.
Is the Hankook veNtus R-S2 treadwear grade high or low?
A grade of 200 is a lower-than-typical treadwear grade, common on sport and high-performance tires. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 5% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Hankook it ranks #262 of 276.
What is the cost per mile of the Hankook veNtus R-S2?
We do not have a licensed price or warranty-mileage feed yet, so we do not state a cost per mile. Use the formula cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000) with your own quote and mileage expectation, or the calculator on this page.
