OVERVIEW

The Hankook Ventus AS is a touring all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Hankook offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.

The tire offers great handling and steering responsiveness. The six circumferential tread grooves with their steeped design, the tread pattern's solid center rib and the optimized sidewall shape all increase the steering responsiveness and precision by ensuring that the tire maintains road contact at all times. The better road contact allows the tire to quickly and accurately respond to the driver's instructions, making sure that the driver can confidently control the tire in all weather conditions. The maintained road contact also improves the driving stability, and the combination of the two enhancements make the tire's handling effortless.

The model has exceptional all weather traction. The tread pattern's high density siping detail grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather, enabling the tire to grip snow- and ice-covered roads well. The special tread pattern features six circumferential, water evacuating grooves that actively prevent hydroplaning in all weather. The tire's safer all weather usability makes the tire great for year round use.

A comfortable and quiet driving experience is assured with this model. The high density siping detail reduces the road noise heard, while the internal structure lowers the vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The siping detail creates a variable pitch sequence on the tire's tread pattern, which cancels out the pattern noise the moment it is generated with the special sound frequency it creates. The internal structure's high tensile twin steel belts absorb the shock of the road and driving, which enhances the comfort levels. In this manner, the tire is more enjoyable to drive on.

The Ventus AS uses a special tire compound on its sidewalls. This compound is damage resistant, which prevents mechanical and weather damage and damage caused by aging. The optimized sidewall shape also increases the safety by protecting the rims from accidental curb damage.
