The summer tire Hankook K120 Ventus V12 Evo2 has long been enjoying well-deserved popularity among owners of passenger cars. This manufacturer is known for its innovative solutions and new technologies. When creating this model, the company's specialists tried to take into account all the wishes of consumers, and the main emphasis was placed on maximum comfort and increased manageability. To achieve these indicators, a new water drainage system and a directional tread pattern were used, which provide excellent manageability on any road surface and at any speeds.

Improved water drainage system

The new water drainage system consists of four large water drainage channels and a large number of small notches and cuts. The large channels quickly remove water from the tread, preventing possible aquaplaning. The small channels contribute to the reduction of noise when driving and increase traction on a wet road surface. The system of channels has an unusual shape, which increases traction with a wet road surface, both when driving in a straight line and when performing any maneuvers.

Directional tread pattern

A directional tread pattern was specially chosen, which has excellent operational characteristics at high speeds. The increased directional stability of the Hankook K120 Ventus V12 Evo2 was helped by the central continuous rib, which also reduced the response time. The shoulder area blocks have sharp edges, which increase traction when turning, and a special rubber ring increases protection against damage and punctures. This tire holds the road perfectly and is characterized by increased stability on any road surface. The innovative three-layer construction of the tread blocks, together with their unusual arrangement, made it possible to significantly increase the contact area.

New compound

When creating the tire, a new compound was used, containing unique components. As a result, the tire has excellent wear resistance, which significantly increased its mileage in any driving mode. Also, the new rubber mixture allowed to reduce the recovery time of the tread and increase the traction properties with a wet road surface.
