Hankook Tire North America has added the Ventus S1 evo Z AS X to its growing lineup.
"The Ventus S1 evo Z AS X provides ultimate handling at high-speeds, excellent traction in all-season conditions and uncompromised comfort for luxury SUVs," say Hankook officials.
"Designed to meet the demands of SUVs in every season, the Ventus S1 evo Z AS X features enhanced rigidity and traction to provide better grip performance for maximum road contact in dry, wet and light snow conditions.
"Created with motorsport technology, improved handling at high-speeds is possible with a reinforcement belt mixed with Aramid fiber," which Hankook officials say is "four to five times stronger than steel and heat-resistant, enabling improved steering performance and an optimized shape during high-speed driving."
Other features include beveled edges that minimize the impact between tread blocks, lateral grooves to optimize water drainage and others.
“The application of motorsport technology to the development of our new Ventus tire is an exciting one for the market and drivers alike,” says Rob Williams, President, Hankook Tire America Corp.
“The Ventus S1 evo Z AS X delivers in all road conditions, with improved grip and low noise for the ultimate in comfort and performance, even at high speeds. As we continue to look for new and innovating approaches to tire design, the Ventus S1 evo Z AS X is a perfect example of how we can continue to optimize high-performance driving benchmarks.”
The Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z AS X is available in nine sizes, ranging from 18 to 22 inches, with 10 additional sizes to come later in 2023.
