The Hankook H457 Ventus V2 Concept 2 tire is installed on passenger cars and used in the summer. The product is distinguished by its particular aesthetic appeal, dynamic and technical tread design, which is responsible for handling and safety.
Tread Design
The tread pattern implies the presence of powerful and durable blocks with a 3D point effect on the edges. This allows for the tire to be "obedient" to steering wheel movements and reduce the braking distance. The directional stability at high speeds is achieved due to the improved profile design. The contact patch area is quite large, its shape is uniform, which reduces the likelihood of deformation of the central and shoulder zones.
Drainage System
Four wide longitudinal channels and numerous small grooves, located diagonally and forming a V-shaped pattern, effectively and quickly evacuate water from the contact patch area. This makes the vehicle behave confidently on a wet road, and the risk of aquaplaning is almost eliminated.
Additional Features
In the shoulder areas, there are blocks of a special shape that contribute to noise reduction. Due to the reduction of vibration during movement, the noise level remains within a normal range. The product is also equipped with a system to protect against uneven wear. A special indicator system quickly informs the car owner that the tire is wearing unevenly (for example, one shoulder is worn more intensively). However, due to the distribution of the load across the entire contact patch area, the likelihood of uneven wear is quite low.
Key Features of Hankook H457 Ventus V2 Concept 2
- minimal risk of aquaplaning due to the developed drainage system and V-shaped arrangement of elements;
- the presence of noise-reducing blocks in the shoulder areas allows for a reduction in noise level;
- the improved profile allows for an even distribution of load on the contact patch and increases its area;
- the powerful blocks with a 3D point effect provide a high level of handling and a short braking distance.
