Hankook 1020564 Ventus S1 evo2 SUV K117A 255/50R19 103Y Summer Performance Tire

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 SUV (K117A) is an ultra-high performance summer tire engineered specifically for high-performance SUVs and crossover vehicles. Delivering an optimal balance of dry and wet performance, this tire shortens braking distances, enhances cornering grip, and improves fuel efficiency — making it a premium choice for performance-oriented SUV and CUV drivers.

On the inside, a high-density rayon and polyester carcass enhances sidewall stiffness and durability, while a high-stiffness bead filler ensures precise handling and responsive steering. A wide steel belt layer further reinforces overall handling performance in both wet and dry conditions.

Key Features:

• Asymmetric Tread Design — Four wide circumferential grooves rapidly drain water for superior wet-road performance and hydroplaning resistance.
• High-Grip Silica Compound — Silica-enhanced tread compound reinforced with high-styrene polymer delivers shorter stopping distances and reduces rolling resistance for improved fuel economy.
• Triple Driveline Tread Block — Maintains consistent traction performance throughout the entire lifespan of the tire, from new tread depth down to the tread wear indicator (TWI).
• VIA Siping System — Improves dry and wet traction while contributing to lower rolling resistance.
• Cooling System / Intercooler Tread Features — Speeds up water evacuation and regulates heat buildup at high speeds to prevent premature wear.
• Alignment Indicator — Built-in IN/OUT wear check allows drivers to visually monitor vehicle alignment status between service intervals.
• Aerodynamic Sidewall Design — Optimized pitch lengths and lateral groove angles improve stability and reduce road noise.
• Jointless Full Cover & Optimized Triple Tread Radius — Contributes to uniform contact patch and enhanced high-speed stability.

Rated for speeds up to 186 mph (Y-rated) with a load index of 103 (875 kg per tire), the Ventus S1 evo2 SUV K117A is also Original Equipment (OE) on select vehicles. Its UTQG rating of 220 AA A reflects its focus on maximum grip and high-speed performance over mileage — a deliberate trade-off for drivers who demand summer performance at its best.
