Features of Hankook’s award winning tyres
The Ventus Prime 4 provides a mix of performance, safety, comfort and environmental properties with key performance criteria regarding safe handling, low wear, high comfort, low tyre noise and reduced rolling resistance. The ‘high mileage compound technology’ increases the rigidity of the tread block reducing rolling resistance and tread wear.
The Ventus S1 evo 3 is equipped with a high-strength bead core which, in combination with the reinforced sidewall, ensures sporty, dynamic handling and also high driving stability, directional stability and steering precision, particularly at high speeds. Numerous well-known car manufacturers use this tyre as original equipment for their top models.
The Ventus S1 evo 3 SUV summer tyre delivers an enhanced sporty and dynamic performance on both dry and wet roads due to a new tread compound using high-performance natural resins. The use of a special nylon material in the sidewall area, “bead packing,” provides significantly increased sidewall strength.
The Kinergy 4S 2 is an all-season specialist for various weather and temperature conditions. It offers balanced and consistent performance. The tyre is aimed especially towards quality and cost-conscious drivers who wants to do without the six-monthly tyre change, but still want year-round balanced performance and safety.
