The Hankook Ventus evo SUV tyres were designed with different features to match the Tiguan model versions of varying engine power.
Quiet, Comfortable Driving Experience is Guaranteed with the Hankook Ventus evo SUV
The all-new Volkswagen Tiguan will come equipped with the Hankook Ventus evo SUV tyre. The high-quality summer tyre is available in five sizes from 18 to 20 inches.
While the focus during the development of the 18-inch and 19-inch variants was primarily on excellent driving comfort, the top-of-the-range 20-inch variant is specifically designed for sporty use. All tyres bear the ‘+’ symbol for Volkswagen’s original equipment on the sidewall and will also be available from replacement dealers.
“The close and trusting collaboration with Volkswagen in the tyre development for the new VW Tiguan has paid off. We have achieved the optimum match for each tyre size and are able to contribute to the unique driving characteristics of the popular Volkswagen model,” said Klaus Krause, Vice President and Head of Europe Technical Center at Hankook.
Reduced Noise Level Brings Driving Comfort
Hankook engineers worked intensively during the two-year development time to combine the excellent driving characteristics of the Ventus evo SUV with a particularly low noise level.
The careful tread design and the balanced mix of tread materials contributed to a noise level of less than 66 decibels, which is even lower than the specification requirements and meets the overall vehicle limit of 68 decibels. The Opti Pitch technology, focused on the ideal size and positioning of the tread blocks, and the Kerf design aimed to minimise noise level.
The Dual Pitch technology ensures the optimum number of blocks on the inside and outside of the tread for maximum steering precision when cornering but also takes into account the requirements for a low-noise tread pattern. Additionally, the tread height was adjusted to reduce noise without compromising traction, braking behaviour, cornering stability or maximum mileage.
Every Tyre Size Individually Matched
The Hankook Ventus evo SUV premium tyres were designed with different features to match the Tiguan model versions of varying engine power. While the 18-inch and 19-inch versions of the Ventus evo SUV offer maximum driving comfort, the Hankook engineers gave the tyres for the Tiguan R-Line a sportier configuration to emphasise its dynamic character.
A 20-inch sports version is also available with a special tread compound that has been tried and tested on the racetrack and subjected to demanding driving tests by the developers on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Designed for Efficiency
In keeping with the character of the VW Tiguan, which is also available as a hybrid, the Hankook developers applied their expertise to achieve the lowest possible rolling resistance. The new Ventus evo SUV is produced exclusively at the company’s ultra-modern European site at Rácalmás, Hungary.
All sizes of the Ventus evo SUV are available worldwide for the Volkswagen Tiguan, showcasing the versatility of the high-quality, all-rounder from Hankook.
