The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117B is an ultra-high-performance summer tyre designed for luxury sedans and coupes. This tyre features advanced technology derived from motorsport racing applications, including a silica-based compound for enhanced wet and dry grip and a cooling system that drains water from the tread while improving heat radiation at higher speeds. The tyre excels in noise reduction thanks to foam technology and aerodynamic sidewall design with rectangular dimples that reduce air turbulence. Performance testing shows strong wet and dry braking capabilities, solid handling characteristics, and excellent fuel efficiency with low rolling resistance. Speed ratings are available from V to W depending on size, with various load indices to match different vehicle requirements. The K117B variant features Hankook's Runflat System for extended mobility after tyre puncture.
