OVERVIEW

The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo HRS is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire was designed and produced with Hankook's HRS run flat technology. This technology reinforced the internal construction for the tire to be able to handle the weight of the vehicle and its passengers in an aired down state. Then air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or other damage, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. This allows the driver to safety reach a near-by destination to fix or change the tire. These tires cannot be mixed with regular tires and they are usually made for vehicles without space for a spare tire.

The tire has superb summer traction and, thanks to its tread design and compound, it grips the road well in dry and wet weather. It is not recommended to be used in winter conditions, as the tire compound loses its traction in the colder winter temperatures and the tread design will not have good road grip in snow and on ice. The waved circumferential grooves increase the hydroplaning resistance and wet weather traction by eliminating water from below the tire footprint, further enhancing the tire's summer weather safety levels.

Easy handling and maneuverability are guaranteed. The tread design's optimized road contact area and the tire's optimized structure improve the steering responsiveness and accuracy. As the tire is swift and precise in its response to the driver's commands, it allows the driver to confidently control the tire in all summer conditions. The shoulder tread pattern's road contact and the additional biting edges its tread blocks provides upgrade the cornering and maneuvering ability. The better cornering stability and power ensure that the model can safely perform in the desired way. The combination of the steering responsiveness and the cornering ability ensure that the tire can be effortlessly handled.

The model offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The optimized tire footprint with the special tread pattern reduces the road and pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tire is in motion. The optimized footprint features a variable pitch sequence that cancels out the road noise the moment it's generated by creating a sound frequency that negates it. The result is a quiet and enjoyable drive.

The S1 Evo HRS has excellent heat and driving durability. The summer weather compound resists heat damage and deformation caused by driving in the hot summer months. The internal structure maintains the tire's optimal driving shape. As the tire does not deform under the driving pressure, it is capable of performing to its highest capability.
