Product description & features
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127B is a BMW approved variant of the Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127, a high-performance summer tyre.
Tyre strength has been increased using a number of design technologies including a newly developed compound, Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt's and High Strength Steel Belt Wire - this improves tyre mileage, comfort and also helps the tyre respond to high levels of input and external shock.
Wet grip is optimised through an interlocking tread pattern, as well as increased number of inner blocks on the tread to improve aquaplaning performance and reduce wet braking distances.
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.
