Product description & features

Hankook's Ventus S1 Evo 2 (K117) is a Summer ultra high performance tyre that features a unique outer rib that holds grip as it wears. Called a 3-layer block design by Hankook, the K117 uses a stepped block construction that makes multiple layers of block edges. The outer edges are therefore tangent with new block edges as the tyre wears. High-grip silica is a gummy compound that is used in both the wet and dry sides of the tyre and is complemented with high-density rayon that boosts sidewall stiffness for better cornering and steering response. An added steel belt system beneath the tread aids in high speed stability with the threat of tread separation at high speeds.

MO (Mercedes Benz) and BMW star marked versions of the tyre are built to spec with these car manufacturers. Retaining the marker on a replaced tyre retains the specified fitment. The K117 has been replaced with the K127 model. Tyres.co.uk supplies the standard, as well as the runflat HRS versions, of the K117 model.

Highlights

  • Summer ultra high performance tyre
  • Outer rib keeps grip as worn
  • High-grip silica for wet and dry
  • Run-flat versions available

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 (K117) 245/40R18 93Y
The performance of these tyres has been remarkable. On dry tarmac, they are safe and responsive and give excellent control at higher speeds. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the grip was and at how good the brakes performed in the wet. They are comfortable and quiet too. Overall I feel confident driving, whatever the weather.

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 (K117) 245/40R18 93Y
With the standard Bridgestone Potenzas, the road noise in my Audi TT was almost unbearable, but I was able to noticeably reduce the noise with these tyres. I believe they were designed specifically for Audis, as they seem to regularly experience this problem. I have not noticed any change in performance.

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 (K117) 245/40R18 93Y
I have always considered Hankook tyres to be reliable and cost-effective. I used to really like Avon tyres, but when I required larger tyres, I was unable to locate suitable ones. That was when I chose Hankooks, and they are just as good as the Avons.

Excellent, I like to go with the tyres that come with the manufacturer. These were on the car when I bought it new. They look great and provide a comfortable ride especially during the long and wet journeys. I would absolutely recommend these tyres.
