OVERVIEW

The Hankook Ventus iON AX is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hankook offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. This tire is made for electric cars.

The model offers excellent controllability during the performance. The asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface at all times. It improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. On the other hand, wide shoulder blocks utilize siping details to increase cornering and maneuvering. These optimal elements also shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience.

All season performance is provided with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern and the all season compound increase the tire’s dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. In this manner, the tread pattern manages to maintain contact with the driving surface even in light snow conditions. The all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in warm and cold temperatures as well. Circumferential grooves help the tire prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from the footprint in wet situations.

The strengthened internal structure and the special wear-resistant compound upgrade the tire’s high speed performance. In other words, the strong structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting the tire. Additionally, the special silica compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area during the performance. These elements enable the tire to perform at its best high speed capability.

A fuel-efficient performance is guaranteed with the tire’s lower rolling resistance. This pressure determines the vehicle’s necessary fuel usage as it affects the tires during the drive. By lowering it, the tire manages to decrease the fuel intake and CO2 emissions, resulting in a fuel-conscious driving experience.

The tire ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience. It features a special foam lining that reduces road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The sound waves pass through the foam during the tire’s performance, which diminishes their intensity. Furthermore, the special tread design also avoids sound wave formations, lessening road noise levels. As a result, the weak sound waves cannot reach the passengers while the vehicle is in motion, ensuring a quiet drive.

The Hankook Ventus iON AX extends its service life. The asymmetric tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound resist irregular and premature wear formations. This tread pattern can evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, while the special compound slows the treadwear rate down. This reduced and even wear leads to a longer-lasting tread life.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
