Features and Benefits
- New high-grip silica compound with advanced mixing technology: Improves wet braking performance by 8% over the previous generation while simultaneously reducing rolling resistance — a meaningful dual benefit of safer wet weather stopping and improved fuel efficiency
- Asymmetric tread pattern with 10% enlarged contact patch: Increases the amount of rubber in contact with the road at any given moment, delivering superior dry handling, more confident cornering, and stronger longitudinal and lateral grip
- Four circumferential water evacuation grooves with optimised lateral groove depths: Rapidly channel surface water away from the contact patch to reduce aquaplaning risk, while the carefully tuned groove depths minimise the trade-off between wet and dry performance — strong in both conditions simultaneously
- Three strong wide tread ribs: Maintain continuous road contact through corners and under braking, enhancing steering precision and contributing to extended tread life and consistent mileage
- Groove chamfer design: Spreads the contact patch under braking to increase grip precisely when it’s needed most — improving confidence and shortening braking distances in both wet and dry conditions
- 9% improved wear resistance with new tread compound: Extends tyre life over the previous generation, offering better long-term value for SUV owners covering regular daily and motorway kilometres
- Lightweight rayon casing with wide steel belt layer and high stiffness bead filler: Works together to improve handling precision, steering response, and high-speed controllability — keeping the tyre stable, composed, and accurate even under the dynamic loads of a heavier SUV
- Optimised pitch design with anti-air resistance sidewall and angled lateral grooves: Reduces exterior road noise through three separate noise-reduction mechanisms working in combination, delivering a noticeably quieter and more refined driving experience
- Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI) system: A unique Hankook Ventus feature that provides the driver with visible cues when wheel alignment changes over time — helping protect against uneven wear and prompting timely alignment checks before tyre life is compromised
