Hankook 1034805TO Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV K127E EV Summer UHP Take-Off Tire (AO)

The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV K127E (EV) is an ultra-high-performance summer tire engineered specifically for electric SUVs and crossovers, carrying the (AO) Audi Original Equipment designation. This listing is for a take-off tire — meaning it was factory-installed on a new vehicle and removed with minimal or no road use, offering exceptional value over a brand-new tire.

Built to address the unique demands of electric vehicles, the K127E features reinforced construction to handle the higher torque loads and increased weight typical of EVs, while minimizing road noise — a critical factor given the near-silent nature of electric powertrains.

Key Features:

• EV-Optimized Construction: Reinforced carcass and high-strength belt package designed to manage the instant torque and heavier curb weight of electric SUVs, resisting abnormal wear and slippage during rapid acceleration
• Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt: Premium aramid cord material maintains the optimized contact patch shape for consistent dry handling, improving steering response by up to 15% over previous generations
• Interlocking Outer Grooves: Specialized tread geometry channels water away efficiently to resist hydroplaning and deliver confident wet cornering grip without compromising dry performance
• Aqua Pine Compound: A sustainable tread compound blended with conifer-derived resin and vegetable oil, enhancing wet-road stability and tread hardness for extended tread life
• Low-Noise Design: Minimized lateral groove volume reduces tire noise, complementing the quiet cabin experience of electric vehicles
• Expanded Outer Blocks & Shoulders: Wide shoulder blocks distribute cornering loads evenly for improved grip, stability, and reduced uneven wear
• (AO) Audi Original Equipment: Factory-approved fitment for Audi SUV models, meeting Audi's specific performance and safety homologation standards
• Take-Off Condition: Removed from a new vehicle at the factory or dealership — minimal to no road use, sold at significant savings versus new

As a summer performance tire, the Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV K127E is optimized for warm-weather driving and is not intended for use in temperatures consistently below 45°F, snow, or ice. It delivers the precision handling and confident braking performance expected by drivers of premium electric SUVs.
