Features of Hankook’s award winning tyres
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 Vantra LT is a durable summer tyre for commercial vans and transport vehicles that offers increased hydroplaning control, showing greater reduction in braking distance compared to its predecessor, as well as increased durability and stability in cornering.
The Dynapro AT2 is a 4x4 tyre that does not end where the road stops. Suitable for all terrains, the tyre has a special balance between the necessary off-road traction, as well as good on-road performance and holds the 3PMSF identifier on the sidewall making it suitable for use in winter conditions.
