According to Hankook, the Ventus F200 offers "Top-notch performance… with high mileage and consistency on a dry surface."
That consistency element is important in many performance driving applications, but perhaps nowhere quite as much as Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
The 12.42 mile course features 156 turns, and a climb in elevation of nearly 5,000'; concluding at over 14,000'.
And not many of those turns are not absent dire consequence in the event of inconsistent or compromised traction.
This year when Rhys Millen goes for the overall Time Attack record he'll be counting on a bespoke set of Hankook Ventus F200 slicks. (The upper sections used to be dirt, but the course became all pavement in 2012.)

This iteration of the Ventus F200 features a "specialized compound," and is a product of past experiences with Rhys at Pikes Peak.
For a taste of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, here's Rhys setting the electric vehicle record last year. Begin at about 4:45 for the really hair-raising stuff.
We'd want Hankook's performance tire engineers in our corner as well…
