Hankook K127E/V S1 EVO 3 EV

K127E/V S1 EVO 3 EV
The Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 EV K127E is an ultra-high performance summer tyre purpose-engineered for high-performance electric vehicles. Built on the acclaimed Ventus S1 evo3 platform, the K127E takes that pedigree further with EV-specific technologies developed to address the unique demands that electric vehicles place on their tyres — instant torque, increased weight, near-silent cabins, and the need for maximum range efficiency. Trusted as original equipment on the Porsche Taycan and Volkswagen ID. Buzz, this is a tyre that has earned its place on some of the most advanced performance EVs on the road. For New Zealand EV drivers who refuse to compromise on performance, handling, or refinement, the K127E delivers on every front.

Features and Benefits

  • EV-specific asymmetric tread pattern with optimised contact structure: Purpose-developed for the increased weight and instant torque delivery of electric vehicles, minimising tyre slippage and abnormal tread wear under rapid acceleration — a key challenge that standard UHP tyres aren’t designed to handle
  • Reinforced breaker-strip ply with Aramid hybrid cord: Aramid fibre reinforcement in the belt structure absorbs the abnormal lateral loads experienced during hard cornering, enhancing handling stability and protecting the tyre’s structure against the high-torque stress unique to EV drivetrains
  • Interlocking outside groove technology: Secures strong wet grip and prevents aquaplaning on slick or rain-soaked surfaces, maintaining confident handling and braking performance in wet conditions without compromising dry traction
  • Wide outer ribs with stiff shoulder blocks: Deliver precise, responsive steering and strong road-holding ability — critical for performance EVs where handling composure and driver feedback are as important as straight-line efficiency
  • Foam noise absorption technology: Disperses road surface sound and absorbs internal tyre shock — because EVs produce virtually no engine noise, cabin tyre noise is far more prominent, and this technology delivers a noticeably quieter, more refined ride
  • Minimised lateral groove volume with noise-optimised tread design: Reduces air pumping noise generated as the tread contacts the road, complementing the foam technology for a comprehensively low-noise driving experience in the EV cabin
  • Reduced rolling resistance and lightweight construction: Lowers the energy required to keep the tyre rolling, directly contributing to improved driving range — one of the most critical performance metrics for EV owners
  • Optional sealant technology (select sizes): An internal sealant automatically seals punctures in the tread area, allowing continued driving after a minor puncture — providing genuine peace of mind for EV drivers whose vehicles typically have no spare tyre
  • OEM fitment on Porsche Taycan and Volkswagen ID. Buzz: Chosen as original equipment by two of the world’s most demanding EV manufacturers, confirming the K127E meets the exacting standards required for premium performance electric vehicles

In order for us to give you an accurate quote it is handy to have your tyre size to hand. The easiest way to find this is to look on the sidewall of your existing tyre, where you will see a combination of numbers and letters.

Width: (this is the first set of numbers) and represents the width of the tyre sidewall in Millimetres.

Profile: This is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width of the tyre

Rim: This is the diameter of the inner rim in inches

When looking for your tyre size note down the size of both the front and rear tyres as many cars have been developed with two different sizes.
