Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 265/30R22 ZR 97Y XL (DOT 2019)

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High speed performing capability

OVERVIEW

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

The tire ensures excellent summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the summer weather compound upgrade the dry and wet weather road gripping capability. The asymmetric tread firmly grips the road surface in such conditions, while the compound resists heat build-up during summer weather high speed performance. However, this model is not suited for winter weather driving, as the tread loses its traction on slippery surfaces and the compound is not able to withstand cold temperature weather damage. The tread design's wide circumferential grooves and optimally placed notches work together to prevent hydroplaning effectively by dispersing water from below the footprint.

The tread design's constant road contact improves the model's controllability. The optimal footprint maintains the tire's road contact constantly, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more accurate, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The stiff circumferential tread elements create friction at the moment of braking, thanks to their larger road contact area, which shortens the braking distance significantly. The tire's internal structure features a high-density nylon strengthened belt and steel belts that maintain the tire's shape during cornering. This improves the footprint and guarantees a secure cornering and maneuvering capability.

The Ventus S1 Evo offers exceptional high speed performance. The tire's optimized footprint closely follows the road surface. The summer weather compound resists heat build-up during high speed performance. The reinforced steel belt structure maintains the tire's optimal shape under the high speed driving pressure. These three enhancements ensure a safer high speed driving experience as the tire maintains its shape and traction even during high speed performance.

This specific tire is from 2019. DOT 2019.

Tires older than 5 years are not eligible for the manufacturer's mileage warranty anymore.

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.
