The Hankook RA30 Vantra ST AS2 summer tire is designed for small commercial vehicles, minivans, and campers. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a universal model, which stands out in the most difficult operating conditions with high passability, reliability, fuel efficiency, and stable road grip.
The design of the tread pattern is characterized by an increased number of cutting edges, a significant part of which is formed by lamellas. Unidirectional narrow slits significantly improve traction on wet pavement, and also reduce the level of abrasive impact on the tread. It's worth noting the increased contact patch size, achieved through optimization of the tread profile, which also reduces wear. Another important feature of the tire is its high resistance to aquaplaning, which is ensured by the increased volume of drainage grooves and their presence in the shoulder areas. In addition, in the lateral projection, these elements have an oval shape, which further increases the intensity of water drainage.
Key Features of Hankook RA30
- extended lamellas improve traction on wet roads, prevent uneven wear;
- increased drainage grooves and their oval shape reduce the risk of aquaplaning;
- rubber compound with increased carbon black and silica content improves tire grip on wet pavement, increases passability on "rough" asphalt.
