Hankook Tire Launches Ultra-High-Performance Ventus Evo Tyres in North America and the Middle East
Hankook Tire & Technology Co. has announced the launch of its latest ultra-high-performance (UHP) offering, the Ventus Evo, set to hit markets in North America and the Middle East. This new tyre is a testament to Hankook’s motorsport pedigree and commitment to innovation, featuring advanced technology aimed at delivering top-tier driving performance.
The Ventus Evo integrates cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise its raw material composition, resulting in superior cornering and braking capabilities. Designed with sports driving in mind, the tyre promises precision handling while enhancing safety. Its fine grooves effectively channel water, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, and provide excellent wet-surface traction.
Moreover, the tyre boasts a lifespan up to 32% longer than its predecessors, offering exceptional durability alongside its high-performance characteristics.
Developing UHP tyres requires deep expertise in high-speed vehicle dynamics, a domain where Hankook excels. Recognised globally for its involvement in motorsports, the company has supplied tyres for prestigious racing events, a key factor in its ability to innovate products like the Ventus Evo.
From 2025, Hankook will further solidify its motorsport credentials as the exclusive supplier of racing tyres for all classes of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) World Rally Championship (WRC).
By introducing the Ventus Evo to North America and the Middle East, Hankook aims to reinforce its position in the UHP segment, catering to drivers seeking tyres that combine performance, safety, and longevity.
