Ventus S1 evo3 SUV

Interlocking outside grooves secure wet grip and prevent hydroplaning on slick surfaces. This reinforces its performance on wet roads and cornering in the rain, without compromising dry handling performance.
* Technology Patent: 10-2018-0109541

The outer blocks and shoulders of the tyre, where heavy loads and contact pressure are concentrated due to cornering, are expanded. The maximum steering grip force is secured by the dual action of the reinforcement belt, which secures the flat contact surface under any conditions. Additionally, separated curfs on the inner blocks can be dispersed for high loads. The balanced in and out blocks ensure the dry handling is improved by 6%.

It presents improved performance in terms of hydroplaning and wet braking, by increasing the number of inner pitches (blocks) to secure the gaps for enhanced drainage.

The number of outer pitches is optimised to secure the steering grip performance required for dry cornering. This is designed to contribute to the reduction of pattern noise as well.

Sidewall is designed to reinforce block stiffness, and improve thermal circulation, air permeability and ride comfort.

Comparison of tyre gloss, sheen and surface texture:
- Glossiness: Approximately 700%
- Surface roughness: Approximately 140%
