Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 K127 Features

The tyre is capable of delivering excellent handling and powerful acceleration for luxury vehicles, and is chosen as an original tyre by premium car manufacturers. The Ventus S1 Evo 3 features: wider blocks designed to put more rubber on the road; a new inside/outside dual pitch pattern on the shoulder; interlocking groove technology for stability and reduced hysteresis; four wider longitudinal grooves; a hybrid aramid casing component on top of the tyre’s steel belts, which is said to help with active stiffness and also reduces and manages heat build-up; a wider tread width within the ETRTO guidelines; as well as an improved silica compound.

Constructors working on the project have prioritized the combination of safety and performance on each surface. The top layer is made of an aramid composite, which reduces unwanted increase in tyre circumference at high loads (up to 60% more efficiently than with classic nylon solutions). The solution increases the stability of driving at high speeds and ensures a longer lifespan. It is a clear nod towards the owner of the machine owners. So called hyper-skews were placed on the central ribs of the tread, to improve the precision of cornering through putting the appropriate pressure on the key zones. Additional external bridges increase the rigidity of the structure and help maintain stable driving.
