Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced cornering ability; Shortened braking distance; Improved all weather handling; Reduced road noise levels; High speed durability; ; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 is a performance and high performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hankook offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty.The tire has superb all weather traction and, thanks to the high grip ability of the silica-based tire compound, it grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather. The excellent hydroplaning resistance and increased wet weather traction as the result of the aqua hydro block that eliminates water and slush from below the tire footprint. The better water and slush dispersing ability and the greater road gripping ability improve the all weather safety and performing ability.The tire is effortless to control. The 3D siping design grips the road extremely well in all weather, the wide twin steel belts and the high stiffness bead filler stabilize the tread area and the tire itself. These three aspects work together to upgrade the driving stability and the steering responsiveness that enhance the tire's handling. The tire is swift and precise in its response to the driver's instructions. The better driving stability, against the driving forces, and the boosted steering responsiveness allow an easier control over the tire in all conditions.The model's cornering and braking abilities were enhanced as well. The tire's shoulder rib provides additional biting edges and constant road contact. These enable the model to increase its cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The better the cornering ability is, the safer the tire can maneuver in dry, wet and winter weather. The tire shortens its braking distance and promotes safe braking, especially in wet weather, thanks to the aqua hydro block. This not only evacuates water and slush from below the tire footprint, but it also creates friction at the moment of braking, shortening the braking distance and improving the driving safety.The combination of the shoulder rib and the optimized variable pitch arrangement offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. They work together to cancel out the road and pattern noise generated when the tire is in motion. They negate the soundwaves with a sound frequency that the variable pitch sequence creates and, in this manner, the road noise is not heard in the vehicle's cabin. This makes the drive more enjoyable.The Ventus S1 Noble2's internal equilibrium carcass line design boosts the high speed durability. It maintains the tire's optimal tire shape in all weather and, by not letting the tire deform under the driving pressure, it allows the tire to perform to its highest performing 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.
