The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo4 K137 is a high-performance summer tyre designed for passenger vehicles. It offers excellent wet grip and contributes to optimal braking.
- Excellent wet grip
- Effective braking
- Enhanced stability and handling
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.
