The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z (K129) is an ultra-high-performance summer tyre that focuses on a tyre's ability to maintain its shape at high speeds. It utilises an aramid hybrid belt that runs beneath the tread. It uses high concentration resin and carbon black to form a rubber that grips the road in warm weather. Its asymmetric tread features a stiff outer shoulder to aid in cornering, while the inner shoulder has grooves to aid in braking on wet roads by channeling away water.
The versions of the Ventus S1 Evo Z that are made as original equipment for the BMW X3 M and the X4 M have the BMW Star mark on the tyre sidewall. This mark shows that the tyres were made to a BMW specification and were not simply made to the same dimensions. The K129 is the Ventus S1 Evo Z model that is made for Hankook's highest performance road applications. Tyres.co.uk stocks Hankook's Ventus S1 Evo Z (K129) tyres.
