OVERVIEW
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
Summer traction is guaranteed with the tread design and compound. The summer compound allows the tire to prevent heat build-up along the tread area. The asymmetric tread design, with the siping detail, ensures the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The tread's wide circumferential grooves and the expanding lateral grooves resist hydroplaning, as they disperse water from the footprint. This combination allows the tire to significantly upgrade the summer weather driving safety.
The asymmetric tread design enhances controllability during the drive. The maintained surface contact enables the tire to improve steering responsiveness and driving stability, boosting the handling power. The steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands are improved, while the structure is secure against driving pressure. The shoulder block placement manages to boost the cornering ability. The heat-resistant compound and the constant road contact upgrade the braking power. They generate friction to shorten the stopping distance. This tread design and durable compound ensure safer handling.
The model offers exceptional high speed performance. The hear-resistant compound, the strong internal structure, and the special silica compound work together to upgrade the high speed durability. The special compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area, while the structure is able to keep the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure. This significantly improves the tire's secure performing ability at its best high speed capability.
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z also promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread design features an optimized siping detail and special pitch sequences that reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. As a result, this model offers exceptional comfort levels and an enjoyable drive during high speed performance.
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.
