Hankook Ventus are great tires at a very good price. |
Your tires lost their grip because they are Summer tires and you are driving them in Winter. You need to be on all seasons or winter tires in the Winter. FWIW the grip would have come back in the spring. The Ventus will have slightly more Winter grip as the compound is slightly more durable, but it is still a Summer tire, not ideally suited to Winter conditions.
