Hankook 1023480 Ventus S1 evo2 SUV K117A 255/45R19 104Y XL Summer Performance Tire

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 SUV K117A (1023480) is an ultra-high performance summer tire engineered specifically for premium SUVs and CUVs. Sized at 255/45R19 104Y XL, this tire delivers the best balance of wet and dry performance, featuring shorter braking distances, lower rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency, and confident high-speed cornering grip.

Key Features:

• Aqua Driving Control: Four wide main grooves rapidly channel water away from the contact patch, providing superior wet traction and hydroplaning resistance.
• Triple Drive Line: Tread block design maintains consistent performance even as the tire wears down to the tread wear indicators (TWI), ensuring no loss of handling or safety over the tire's life.
• Cooling System: Optimized tread architecture accelerates water evacuation and improves heat dissipation during sustained high-speed driving.
• Intercooler Technology: Controls excessive heat buildup within the tire structure, protecting performance and longevity under demanding conditions.
• Alignment Indicator: Built-in IN/OUT wear indicators allow drivers to visually monitor vehicle alignment status directly from the tire tread, enabling proactive maintenance.
• High-Grip Silica Compound: Specially formulated compound lowers rolling resistance while maximizing contact grip in both wet and dry conditions.
• Wide Steel Belt Layer: Reinforces the tire's structure to enhance handling precision and cornering stability on both wet and dry roads.
• VIA Siping System: Micro-sipes across tread blocks increase biting edges for improved traction and braking performance.
• Aerodynamic Sidewall Design: Optimized sidewall profile reduces air turbulence and contributes to a quieter, more refined ride.
