Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 K117B Ultra High Performance Run-Flat Summer Tire

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 K117B is an ultra-high performance summer run-flat tire engineered for drivers of performance sedans, sports cars, and luxury vehicles who demand exceptional grip, precise handling, and the confidence of run-flat capability. Trusted as original equipment by leading European automakers — including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and MINI — the Ventus S1 evo2 K117B delivers a refined balance of aggressive performance and everyday drivability, reflecting Hankook's standing as a first-tier global tire manufacturer.

Advanced Construction and Engineering:

• High-Grip Silica Tread Compound: A specially formulated silica compound delivers enhanced traction on both wet and dry surfaces while reducing rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.
• Hankook Run-Flat System (HRS): Reinforced sidewall construction allows continued mobility after a complete loss of air pressure — enabling travel up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph — eliminating the immediate need for a roadside tire change.
• Aqua Driving Control Tread Pattern: Optimized groove geometry rapidly channels water away from the contact patch, providing superior hydroplaning resistance and confident wet-weather handling.
• Integrated Cooling System: Internal heat management technology prevents heat buildup during sustained high-speed driving, protecting tire integrity and maintaining consistent performance.
• Wide Steel Belt Layer: Delivers structural integrity, sidewall stiffness, and high-speed stability across the full tread width.
• High-Stiffness Bead Filler: Enhances handling precision and provides sharp, responsive steering feedback.
• Equilibrium Rayon Carcass: Maintains a stable tire structure through an optimal carcass line design, improving cornering performance and durability at high speeds.
• Strong Single Bead Wire: Improves tire uniformity and simplifies mounting for a consistent, reliable fit.

Performance Advantages:

• Outstanding dry traction and cornering stability for spirited, high-performance driving
• Excellent wet grip with effective water evacuation to minimize hydroplaning risk
• Run-flat capability for continued mobility following sudden, unexpected air loss
• Reduced rolling resistance supporting improved fuel economy without sacrificing performance
• Refined tread design minimizes road noise for a comfortable, composed driving experience
• OEM-grade quality, factory-fitted to high-performance and luxury vehicles from top global automakers

As a summer performance tire, the Ventus S1 evo2 K117B is engineered to excel in warm, dry, and wet conditions. It is not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions.
