Product description & features

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 (K117B) features Hankook’s Intercooler Technology to control tyre tread heat, helping to develop ultra-high summer performance. The maintenance of the block shape during the tread life is aided by 3-layer tread blocks, which help reduce the wear of the tyre by keeping more rubber in contact with the road. To help enhance performance, a wide steel belt in conjunction with high-density rayon provides sidewall and tread reinforcement, help boost steering response.

The sidewall of some K117B variants feature the BMW star mark to show that they were made to BMW’s standards, and were not just sized to fit BMW vehicles. The Ventus S1 evo2 tyre lineup also features HRS runflat variants, which allow performance decay of the tyre without the vehicle being supported by the sidewall. Tyres.co.uk offers the HRS runflat variants along with the standard Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 (K117B).

Highlights

  • Intercooler Technology controls tread heat
  • Three-layer tread blocks reduce wear
  • BMW-approved variants available

I was unsure about replacing two tyres after two unfortunate punctures, so I opted to get them fixed professionally. They are still doing fine and look like they're gripping better as they break in.

These tyres provide excellent overall performance. They offer good grip in wet and dry conditions. I previously owned cheaper tyres, and the difference was instantly noticeable. I no longer experienced understeering when cornering. I recommend these tyres.

Tyre review for Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 (K117B) 225/45R18 95Y XL
I have been using these tyres for a year. They are not XL rated and I will likely go back to XL rated ones for better cornering like my old set. Many people with my type of car will not find this an issue but that's just my opinion. Overall, they do the job for everyday driving. I will certainly check if Hankook has an XL version. If you are unsure about this brand and model, they are certainly worth considering.
