Hankook Ventus evo SUV

Key Features

• Wet braking performance is improved by optimizing lateral shoulder grooves which secure voids when braking or under heavy loads, expanding the contact patch. Additionally, tie-bars applied to the shoulder blocks create a closed structure that reduces noise in regular driving conditions.
• The high-performance drainage design controls block deformation to improve contact with the road. Safer wet road driving is achieved by minimizing tire contact gaps caused by concave deformation for 7 percent improved wet braking and 4 percent improved wet handling over the previous model.
• Ventus evo offers excellent grip, even on wet roads, using a new compound with specialized performance resins. This advanced rubber material optimizes hysteresis, the transforming of energy from road contact friction, to enhance grip across various temperature conditions.
• Chamfered design smooths tire edges for evenly distributed contact pressure and increased friction. Dry braking performance is greatly improved, 6 percent over our previous model.
• The flat side profile improves cornering stiffness for superior grip and stability, even at high speeds.
• Maximized stiffness in the driving direction, particularly in the outside blocks, enhances grip on dry roads. Sipes, lateral grooves, and tie-bars are balanced to ensure uniform block stiffness. The distributed wear extends mileage by over 30 percent compared to the previous model.
• Optimized tire shape and structure ensure balanced contact pressure distribution across the tread, promoting uniform wear and excellent mileage, even under heavy loads.
• The aerodynamically improved sidewall is styled with Vanta Velvet lasered graphics for enhanced readability, tailored to Ventus evo users.
