Are Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (H452) tires directional?

Where are Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (H452) tires made?

Are Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (H452) tires noisy?

Can Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (H452) tires be used in snow?

Yes, Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 (H452) tires can be used in light snow thanks to their all-season rubber compound, wide grooves, and 3D kerfs that allow for strong traction and performance year-round.

These are a solid tire with really good grip. I replaced some other tires I had on my bolt love them smooth riding I have about 10K on one pair and 3K on the other they wear pretty well because I have an ev and drive aggressively. Still plenty of tread I rotate them every 7200 miles so just rotated them winter driving is spot on I didn't know these tires were M+S rated. Too bad they discontinued then and they are now on the closeout line I don't worry too much about tire age because I drive a ton and need to replace my tires every 2 years or so. The Treadwear at 10K on the pair I installed earlier is at 6/32 out of 10/32 there tires are a softer compound then others

Bought a new Equinox that was equipped with these tires. I only have 28,562 miles on the vehicle. Made sure the tires were rotated every 7500 miles. I am now replacing all 4 tires due to tire wear. Most of the 28,562 miles driven were long trips. Not impressed and won't be buying Hankook replacements. The tires I had on my 2012 Equinox went 60,000 miles before I had to replace them (Michelin).

The tires came on my new Ford Explorer Sport. These tires perform well. EXCEPT for the mileage rating of 50,000 is bogus. I got 30,000 miles down to the tread bars. Disappointing.
