OVERVIEW

The Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 is a high performance summer tire made for performance and passenger vehicles.

The tire's styrene polymer and silica compound provides first-rate summer weather traction, while the tread pattern grips the road firmly in dry and wet weather conditions. The tire is not recommended for use in colder temperatures and winter weather, but it shines with its summer performance. The aqua jet grooves and the tire's cooling system evacuate water from below the tire footprint, which increases the wet weather traction and actively prevents hydroplaning. The cooling system also improves the tire's performing capability, as it keeps the tire cool and prevents deformation caused by the created heat.

The model's internal structure enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The two wide steel belts and the high stiffness bead filler increase the tire's road contact. The constant, maintained road contact raises the driving stability, as the tire is capable of withstanding the external driving forces affecting it. This further boosts the steering responsiveness and precision, ensuring the model quickly and accurately responds to the driver's instructions. The better steering allows the driver to confidently control the tire in all summer conditions.

The internal structure also upgrades the tire's high speed durability. The high-density sidewall stiffness and the strong single strand bead wire reinforce the tire's structure against the external driving forces. The tire maintains its excellent high speed driving stability and optimal tire shape under the driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it is capable of handling all high speed driving and it can safely perform to its highest capability.

The tire offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience with the variable pitch variations and the stealth technology. The tire's shoulder design features a five-pitch variation, while the center tread an M-pitch variation. They decrease the road noise by generating a sound frequency that negates it when the tires are in motion. The stealth technology uses the unique wing tip design

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.
