Hankook 1035134 Ventus evo SUV K137A 285/30ZR19 98Y XL Summer Ultra-High Performance Tire

The Hankook Ventus evo SUV K137A (285/30ZR19 98Y XL) is a summer ultra-high-performance tire engineered specifically for performance-oriented SUVs and crossovers. Serving as original equipment on select premium vehicles including the BMW X5 PHEV, this tire delivers the precision handling, confident wet-weather braking, and high-speed capability that demanding drivers expect.

Key Features:

• Performance Resin-Infused Compound: A specially formulated compound incorporating high-performance resins optimizes energy transfer at the contact patch for maximum grip in both wet and dry conditions
• Optimized Lateral Shoulder Grooves: Widened shoulder grooves efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining confident wet-road traction
• Tie-Bar Shoulder Block Design: Tie-bars applied to the shoulder blocks increase tread block rigidity, delivering enhanced cornering stability and more precise steering response
• Chamfered Tread Block Edges: Chamfered (beveled) tread block edges increase contact pressure distribution for improved braking performance and reduced irregular wear
• Flat Side Profile: The flat sidewall profile maximizes the tire's contact footprint, contributing to consistent grip and a planted feel during high-speed maneuvers
• Maximized Pattern Stiffness: Tread pattern stiffness is optimized in the driving direction—particularly in the outer shoulder blocks—for precise tracking and stability during acceleration and cornering
• Multi-Element Noise Reduction: Sipes, lateral grooves, and tie-bars work together with optimized block shape and internal structure to minimize road noise for a refined ride
• Extra Load (XL) Rating: Reinforced construction supports higher load capacity suitable for heavier SUV platforms

Rated 285/30ZR19 98Y XL, this tire carries a UTQG rating of 340 AA A, a maximum load capacity of 1,653 lbs, and a tread depth of 9/32". With a black sidewall finish and 4-ply construction, the Ventus evo SUV K137A is a factory-validated summer performance tire built for drivers who refuse to compromise.
