The Hankook Ventus Evo, also searched for under the name Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 4 K137, is the successor to the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3.
Hankook Ventus Evo is a new-generation UHP (Ultra-High-Performance) tyre designed to offer an optimal balance of sportiness, safety and efficiency. This fourth generation sets new standards thanks to an innovative design combining strong wet grip, low rolling resistance and increased longevity.
The development of the rubber compound, optimised in particular through artificial intelligence, enables an even distribution of silica throughout the tyre structure, a key factor in wet-road performance. The wide grooves promote efficient water evacuation and reduce the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring controlled driving even during heavy summer rain.
The highly rigid sidewalls and tread blocks improve cornering stability and help reduce braking distance on dry roads by 6% compared with the previous generation.
Despite its high level of grip, the Ventus Evo K137 delivers particularly low rolling resistance thanks to an innovative material compound, helping to reduce fuel consumption. Its rigid design also promotes a 32% increase in mileage compared with its predecessor, making this tyre a high-performance and economical choice.
The improved design delivers a 4% gain in wet handling compared with the previous model, providing better control and more precise driving on wet roads.
This model offers a 32% improvement in mileage compared with the previous generation, contributing to an extended service life and controlled wear.
The flat sidewall profile increases the tyre’s rigidity when cornering, improving grip and stability. This design ensures precise, controlled handling, even at high speed.
The optimised drainage tread pattern controls block deformation to strengthen contact with the road surface. By limiting contact variations linked to concave deformation, it improves stability on wet roads.
This design delivers a 7% gain in braking on wet surfaces and a 4% improvement in handling on wet roads compared with the previous model.
This model delivers a 7% improvement in wet braking and 6% in dry braking compared with the previous generation, for shorter stopping distances and increased control.
The increased stiffness in the direction of travel, particularly in the outer blocks, promotes better grip on dry roads and more effective contact with the road surface.
The tyre’s optimised geometry and structure ensure balanced pressure distribution across the entire tread. This design promotes even wear and high mileage, including under heavy loads.
The balance between sipes, lateral grooves and rubber bridges ensures uniform rigidity of the tread blocks. This design promotes even wear and increases mileage by more than 30% compared with the previous model.
Optimising the shoulder grooves helps improve braking performance on wet roads. The contact patch with the road is increased, promoting better grip.
The rubber bridges integrated into the shoulder blocks form a closed structure that helps reduce noise during normal driving, for improved everyday acoustic comfort.
The chamfered design improves grip during braking by ensuring an even distribution of ground contact pressure.
The smoothed edges of the tyre promote more uniform contact and increased friction with the road surface, delivering a 6% improvement in dry braking performance compared with the previous model.
The Ventus Evo features a brand-new tread compound incorporating specific performance resins, ensuring excellent grip, including on wet roads.
This advanced rubber blend optimises hysteresis and converts the energy generated by friction in contact with the road surface, in order to improve traction across different temperature conditions.

4 stars for value for money, because it is disappointing that a new tyre does not even have 6 mm of tread depth.
Very good tyre with a nice design. Quiet, but not yet tested on wet roads. I have always bought tyres from this brand. Very satisfied.
Great, I recommend it.
Drives smoothly and comfortably. No imbalance or vibrations. For the price, nothing to complain about so far (500 km driven). Buy!
Great, highly recommended.
Much better than the tyres that came with the car, the Kustone P9s. I will definitely buy them again; the car now grips the road much better too.
So far, I have nothing negative to report. I cannot yet judge its performance on wet roads, as I have not driven in the rain yet.
Very good value for money
I chose these tyres even though they are not yet star-marked, for reasons of economy on long journeys. I am pleasantly surprised by the fuel consumption and the low noise levels compared with the usual Michelins, and that is exactly what I was looking for. The road holding is really good for everyday use in both dry and wet conditions; however, I switch back to the Sport 4S as soon as I know I am doing track driving. For the moment, I do not have enough experience with them for that.
I previously had Bridgestone Potenza tyres, but these are much quieter and I am more satisfied with them. My car also does not lose grip in corners with these. These tyres will certainly remain my preferred choice, especially in terms of value for money.
