Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV (*). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded driving durability; Run flat tire model; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV (*) is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles.The ideal tread design and the special silica compound upgrade the tires performance at all times. The large tread elements and their close contact with the driving surface upgrade the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tires steering response time is faster and more precise to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. At the same time, the wide shoulder blocks upgrade the tires cornering, while the special siping details shorten the braking distance. These elements enable the driver to have full control over the vehicle.The model offers excellent summer traction. The ideal tread design and the special silica compound enhance the tires performance in dry and wet conditions. In this manner, the asymmetric tread pattern manages to keep close road contact in the summer season. The silica compound prevents heat accumulation along the tread area in warmer temperatures. The model also provides great hydroplaning, by dispersing water from the footprint in wet-weather conditions.This tire is manufactured with run flat technology. The reinforced internal structure enables the tire to easily perform even after air pressure loss. This structure enables the tire to be driven for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mp, when the air pressure leaves the tire. This limited, temporary performance protects the tire from being stranded on the side of the road, which significantly upgrades the tires driving safety levels.The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV (*) boosts its driving durability and handling power. The strengthened internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting it. On the other hand, the special silica compound prevents heat accumulation along the tread area during the performance. These elements enable the tire to perform at its best high speed capability. 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.
