Description

SPORT DRIVING - Premium sports performance, developed for the future

CONCEPT

Precise handling in wet conditions:

Precision engineering ensures exceptional control on wet roads and maximum traction for safer driving.

Excellent handling and short braking distances:

Outstanding braking performance and high cornering stability guarantee grip and safe driving pleasure in all weather conditions.

Superb mileage:

Optimized tread design for exceptional performance and durability.

TECHNOLOGY

First-class handling in wet conditions

More precise wet handling

Excellent braking power and cornering stability

-Chamfer technology improves braking power and guarantees even pressure distribution: the bevelled tread blocks optimize pressure load and thus increase grip. This reduces the braking distance by 6% compared to its predecessor.

Superb braking and cornering performance

Outstanding performance that lasts

  • Enhanced shoulder grooves: wet braking performance is enhanced by extended lateral shoulder grooves, which effectively secure cavities during braking maneuvers or heavy loads and increase the contact area. In addition, special connecting rods on the shoulder blocks ensure a closed structure that minimizes noise levels during normal driving.
  • Even ground pressure distribution: the further optimized shape and inner structure of the tire have resulted in an even contact patch for low wear, even under high loads.
  • Outstanding water drainage: the advanced drainage design reduces block deformation for better contact with the road. It guarantees safer driving on wet roads thanks to a convex block shape. This means 7% shorter braking distances on wet roads and 4% better handling compared to the previous model.
  • Optimized tread design for even wear: the tread blocks and tread grooves have been optimally coordinated to ensure even wear and a long tire life. This increases mileage by 30% compared to its predecessor.
  • Fine-tuned stiffness pattern: maximized stiffness in the direction of travel, especially on the outer sides, improves grip on dry roads.
  • Improved cornering stability: the flattened shoulder profile increases the rigidity of the tire sidewall for optimum grip and driving stability, especially at high speeds.
  • Improved grip performance thanks to a new formula: the Ventus evo offers excellent grip even on wet roads thanks to a new rubber compound with performance-enhancing resins. The improved compound material increases grip by optimizing tire temperature as a result of tire movement.

    Good, not perfect

    Switched from a budget brand to the Ventus evo K137 — the difference in braking is obvious. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

    Trusted Hankook quality

    Put these on two months ago and the car feels noticeably more planted. The Ventus evo K137 grips well on dry roads. Brakes hard and straight, no pulling. Stable and precise in summer heat.

    Strong performer

    Fitted before a long road trip. Comfortable at motorway speeds and felt safe in heavy rain. Decent tyre at a fair price. Stable and precise in summer heat. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

    Great value for money

    Put these on two months ago and the car feels noticeably more planted. The Ventus evo K137 grips well on dry roads.

    Quiet and comfortable

    Early days, but first impressions are very good. Smooth and quiet. Decent grip dry and wet, but they took a few hundred km to feel bedded in. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

    Solid summer tyre

    Does exactly what a summer tyre should. Happy with the purchase. Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate.
