Hankook Tire’s ultra-high-performance Ventus S1 evo tyre was developed for high-end sports cars and fast or tuned luxury cars. As in past years, the high-end wide-base tyre was given the highest rating, “highly recommended,” in the summer tyre tests performed by the well-known German trade magazine Sport Auto (04/2009). The test drivers, relates Hankook, were especially impressed with how the Ventus S1 evo performed during dry handling. In this area, testers concluded, the Hankook flagship product “is at the top of the game.” In the “wet braking” category, which is highly relevant in terms of safety, the high-end wide-based tyre also delivered top scores. Further test criteria included steering precision and handling on dry and wet surfaces. The high-performance tyre from Hankook took top marks in each of these areas, too. As the sport auto testers summed it up, the Ventus S1 evo is “smooth” and makes “driving dynamics a pleasure.”
The test editors of Auto Bild sportscars agreed. The market leader in the German-language sports car magazine segment recently named the S1 evo the clear winner in its summer tyre tests. Thanks to its “optimally executed dynamics and perfect balance” both under wet conditions and on a dry surface, along with its unrivalled low noise levels, the sporty “whisper tyre” shot ahead of the competition. In addition, said the testers at Auto Bild sportscars, the tyre is not only easy on the ears for people in surrounding areas, but even delivers up to three per cent better fuel economy than the other test candidates. On the test vehicle, this averaged out to savings of 0.29 litres of fuel, or 6.9 g CO2, for 100 kilometres.
