Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 Ultra High Performance Summer Tire

The Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 K120 is an ultra-high performance summer tire engineered for driving enthusiasts who demand precise handling, confident wet and dry traction, and high-speed stability without sacrificing everyday refinement. Purpose-built for sports cars, performance coupes, and high-performance sedans, the Ventus V12 evo2 K120 draws on Hankook's motorsport-inspired engineering to deliver a tire that excels at the limit while remaining composed on the daily commute.

Race-Inspired Technology:

• Optimized Triple TR (Tread Radius) System — derived from DTM motorsport profile technology, this design maintains a stable contact patch under both vertical and lateral load transfers, maximizing handling performance and high-speed stability
• Asymmetric tread design — rigid outer shoulder blocks deliver confident dry-cornering grip, while wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water and resist hydroplaning in wet conditions
• High-grip silica compound with functionalized styrene polymer — balances heat resistance with flexibility for consistent wet and dry traction while reducing rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency
• 5-pitch tread block design with optimized middle block pitch array — minimizes road noise for a quieter, more refined driving experience
• Notched shoulders and 3D intermediate ribs — flanking a continuous center rib to promote dry handling response, enhanced traction, and efficient water evacuation from the contact patch
• Wide steel belt layer — enhances handling stability and steering precision across wet and dry surfaces
• High-density polyester carcass — provides exceptional sidewall stiffness and durability for aggressive cornering and spirited driving
• High-stiffness bead filler — delivers immediate, accurate steering response and handling confidence
• Strong single-strand bead wire — improves tire uniformity and fitment quality
• Built-in alignment indicators — allow visual monitoring of tire wear to help identify when alignment service is needed

Performance Benefits:

• Outstanding grip in both dry and wet conditions for confident, spirited driving
• Short braking distances on wet and dry surfaces achieved through optimized tread block stiffness balance
• Reduced rolling resistance contributes to better fuel economy without sacrificing performance
• Smooth, refined ride quality suitable for both daily driving and performance use
• Reduced cabin noise through advanced pitch sequencing technology
• Summer use only — the high-grip compound is optimized for warm conditions and is not recommended for use when temperatures consistently fall below 45°F (7°C)

The Ventus V12 evo2 K120 is backed by Hankook's Road Hazard Protection Plan and a 30-Day Trial Period, providing added purchase confidence.
