The Hankook PH01 Sport IV summer tire belongs to the sports class. The model is designed for installation on vehicles with powerful engines, which are often used at high speed modes. It provides improved dynamic performance, high steering accuracy, and resistance to aquaplaning.
To ensure high maneuverability accuracy, a solid central rib is provided. It is complemented by wide shoulder and middle zone blocks, thanks to which a contact patch with an increased area was created. Due to this, the stability of the vehicle's behavior during sharp maneuvers has been increased, in which body rolls are minimized. This reduced the impact of centrifugal forces, allowing for high-speed entry into turns while maintaining control over steering.
An important component of the tire is the carcass, which has reinforced layers. Thanks to them, the deformation effect under load is neutralized, and the contact zone area remains unchanged. This is reflected in the maintenance of working characteristics at the same level. In addition, the compound plays a significant role in ensuring improved traction. It is represented by a modern rubber mixture, which contains a number of components that increase resistance to wear and optimize the adhesive effect.
Key features of Hankook PH01 Sport IV:
- applicability on vehicles with powerful engines;
- high resistance to aquaplaning, ensured by the multitude of sharp edges that cut through the water film;
- steering accuracy at various speed modes due to the solid central rib;
- increased contact patch, contributing to vehicle stabilization during maneuvers;
- compound with improved traction performance, both on dry and wet asphalt
