Hankook 1035222 Ventus evo SUV K137A 275/30ZR20 XL 97Y Summer Ultra-High Performance SUV Tire

The Hankook Ventus evo SUV K137A (275/30ZR20 XL, 97Y) is a summer ultra-high performance tire purpose-built for performance-oriented SUVs. Engineered with advanced compound technology and a precision tread architecture, this tire delivers confident grip, sharp handling response, and enhanced stability at speed. It serves as original equipment on select vehicles, including the BMW X5 PHEV.

Key Features:

• Performance Resin Compound: A next-generation tread compound infused with special performance resins optimizes energy transfer at the contact patch for maximum dry and wet grip
• Chamfered Tread Block Design: Chamfered (beveled) block edges distribute contact pressure evenly across the tread surface, improving dry braking performance and reducing irregular wear
• Optimized Lateral Shoulder Grooves: Widened shoulder grooves efficiently evacuate water to enhance wet traction and resist hydroplaning
• Shoulder Block Tie-Bars: Tie-bars applied to shoulder blocks enhance tread rigidity, improving steering response and cornering stability
• Maximized Pattern Stiffness: Outside block stiffness is optimized in the driving direction to sharpen straight-line stability and braking performance
• Sipes, Lateral Grooves & Tie-Bars: A coordinated system of sipes, lateral grooves, and tie-bars works together to balance ride comfort with driving stability and reduce road noise
• Flat Side Profile: The flat tread profile maximizes the contact footprint for more consistent traction across the full tread width
• Vanta Velvet Sidewall: Black sidewall featuring premium laser-etched detailing for a distinctive appearance
• XL (Extra Load) Rated: Built to handle the additional weight demands of high-performance SUVs with a max load capacity of 1,609 lbs per tire

As a summer-only tire, the Ventus evo SUV K137A is engineered for use in warm weather conditions and should not be used when temperatures consistently drop below 45°F. This tire carries a 30,000-mile limited tread life warranty and a UTQG rating of 340 AA A.
