Product description & features
The Hankook Ventus Price 3 K125 is a premium car tyre, the latest member of the renowned Ventus range.
Four circumferential grooves have been used in the tyre’s tread pattern – these work to quickly remove surface water from the tyre’s path – reducing the risk of the car aquaplaning. The Ventus Prime 3 is developed with an asymmetric tyre tread pattern for a 10% increase in the amount of contact between the tyre and the road.
Constructing the tyre with dual stiffness along the outer ribs of the tyre and introducing a solid outside block the Ventus Prime 3 remains stable at high speeds and in corners.
Hankook have constructed the Ventus Prime 3 with a Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI) system to allow motorists a quick way to check the wheel alignment of their tyres.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
