Hankook Tire released its new high-performance SUV tire called the Ventus S1 evo Z AS X. Rob Williams, President of Hankook Tire America Corp, said: "The Ventus S1 evo Z AS X delivers in all road conditions with improved grip and low noise for the ultimate in comfort and performance, even at high speeds. As we continue to look for new and innovating approaches to tire design, the Ventus S1 evo Z AS X is a perfect example of how we can continue to optimize high-performance driving benchmarks."
The Ventus S1 evo Z AS X is designed for SUVs in every season, featuring enhanced durability and extra traction to offer better grip performance for maximum road contact in dry, wet, and light snow conditions. It is created with motorsport technology, which allows improved handling at high speeds with a reinforcement belt combined with Aramid fiber. Aramid is five times stronger than steel and is heat resistant, which enables enhanced steering performance during high-speed driving. Additional benefits include beveled edges, which minimize impact between tread blocks for a comfortable drive. The tire is available for purchase.
