Hankook 1031954 Ventus evo SUV K137A 235/50R18 101H XL Summer Ultra-High Performance Tire

The Hankook Ventus evo SUV K137A (235/50R18 101H XL) is a summer ultra-high performance tire engineered for SUV drivers who demand precision handling, confident wet-weather braking, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Carrying Original Equipment designation for the Volkswagen T7, this tire delivers factory-grade performance straight out of the box.

Wet Weather Performance:

• Widened lateral shoulder grooves extend water evacuation cavities during braking and cornering, increasing road contact area for shorter stopping distances
• Tie-bars on shoulder blocks maintain a closed shoulder structure that minimizes road noise while supporting wet-road stability
• Advanced drainage design reduces block deformation for improved road contact, with a convex block shape that resists hydroplaning on wet surfaces

Dry Handling & Precision:

• Maximized pattern stiffness in the longitudinal direction, especially in the outboard blocks, sharpens steering response and cornering grip
• Flat side profile promotes even contact patch distribution for consistent dry-road traction
• Chamfered block edges smooth the tread profile to reduce irregular wear and road noise
• New compound with special performance resins enhances grip on both wet and dry surfaces
