Product description & features

  • Better handling and steering response.
  • High grip Silica compound.
  • Lower rolling resistance.

Designed by Hankook, the Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117  is a premium tyre.

Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 tyres are available in 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch and 19 inch rim tyre sizes.
 

Wet & Dry Performance

It has been created with high grip silica compound to deliver outstanding traction in both dry and wet conditions while lowering rolling resistance.

Cooling System

In order to improve heat emissions when driving at high speeds, the Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 has been designed with a cooling system within the tyre pattern.

This has also been designed to accelerate the drainage of water in wet road conditions.

Are OME so when fronts needed replacing kept to same tyre make and series as the rears. Fronts completed over 21000 miles and only changed when a misalignment wore the inner edge of one .Rears are same tyre and have now done 28000 and are being replaced with same tyres this week in advance of MOT as getting near legal minimum. Good noise suppression particularly like the edging on tyre which protects against alloy wheel scrapes . If Audi fit as OME why change ? Again fitment being done by Blackcircles.

Faultless grip and although they are not a cheap tyre the mileage I get out of them makes them good value.

Chose these as the best brand/price bang for buck for my wife’s X3. We wanted BMW star rated tyres, to prevent transfer case issues, but also the best brand at the cheapest price. We weren’t prepared to pay £250 a corner so these were the next best alternatives. My wife hasn’t noticed any difference or harshness so they must be fine. We replaced 7 year old Conti Excellences for these and we are very glad we did.
