Hankook VENTUS S1 EVOZ (K129) 245/35 R19 93Y XL summer tyres

The new silica compound is developed based on racing tyre technology. It helps a 1028608 tyre's rubber particles to grip the road surface easily in high temperature conditions, which maximises the handling and braking performance.

• Wet braking:
  The broader lateral groove on the shoulder enhances water displacement and tread block stiffness while reducing noise. The optimised lateral groove shape takes into account the poisson effect when under load.
• Dry handling:
  The number of outer pitches is optimised to ensure the steering grip required for cornering. This is designed to contribute to reduced wear as well.

The tyres 1028608 feature a wide shoulder block and narrow straight groove on the outer section to improve the dry grip. The optimised groove width and its placement ensures a more balanced dry/wet performance.

Aramid is a super fibre and is a high-performance material, used mostly in high-technology industries such as military, aircraft, aerospace, and marine sectors. It has 5 times more strength than iron and steel.

This prevents the tyre from expanding due to the centrifugal force while driving and minimises tread deformation caused by lateral forces when changing directions. It offers a stable and consistent performance under various driving conditions. It improves the handling stability and overall driving performance, and contributes to the minimisation of uneven wear, as well as the improvement of the 1028608 tyre's load capacity.
