Hankook Ventus Evo is a new-generation UHP (Ultra-High-Performance) tyre designed to deliver an optimal balance between 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 by artificial intelligence, enables an even distribution of silica within the tyre structure, a key element for performance on wet roads. 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 S1 Evo4 K137 features particularly low rolling resistance thanks to an innovative material compound, helping to reduce fuel consumption. Its rigid design also supports a 32% increase in mileage compared with its predecessor, making this tyre a high-performing 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.
