Stealth technology
Unique wing tip design reduces noise using ‘Stealth technology’. Slanted edges support the blocks during handling where sounds or trembling hits. This slanted surface reduces impact.

Compound technology
Application of new styrene polymer featuring a functional group improves the chemical combination.
Optimized triple tread radius system based on motorsports racing tire profile technology ensures ideal performance during high-speed driving conditions. Road noise is reduced by the use of a 5-pitch tread block design and optimized middle block pitch array. By applying a new functionalized styrene polymer in the tread compound of the Ventus v12 evo2, lower rolling resistance was achieved leading to improved vehicle fuel economy. During the initial stage of tire development, computer mapping, and forecasting of tire deformation allows engineers to design a carcass profile that maintains optimum shape according to the tire's contact patch. These efforts ensure a more stable and consistent tire structure, enhancing the performance and durability of the tire over a wide range of conditions. It is this attention to design that allows Hankook to develop quality, durable tires that do not compromise on performance. Optimized tread block stiffness balance allows the Ventus V12 evo2 to offer impressive wet and dry braking performance.
