Hankook is equipping three further vehicles from the Wolfsburg-based car manufacturer with its tyres

VW Golf, GTI, Golf R and Tiguan R Models To Come Fitted with Hankook Tires

Ultra-High-Performance (UHP) tyre patterns Ventus S1 evo 3 will be fitted on the Golf GTI und Golf Rand Ventus S1 evo 2 SUV or evo 3 SUV on the Tiguan R. The tyres deployed on the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Golf R, and Tiguan R are also ideal for everyday use, thereby further expanding the company's portfolio of original equipment. This shows once again the wide range of Hankook products are designed to fulfil the most diverse requirements. 

The particularly sporty R variant of the Tiguan will be exclusively fitted with the Ventus S1 evo 3 SUV which has a wheel size of 21 inches. The Ventus S1 evo 2 SUV is available for the 20-inch wheel size. Both SUV patterns demonstrate a successful combination of high-level dynamic response, comfort and wet grip, especially in challenging conditions. The Ventus S1 evo 3 is equipped with a high-strength bead core, which in combination with the reinforced sidewall ensures high driving and directional stability as well as steering precision. These features support sporty and dynamic handling, which is particularly beneficial for the high-performance Golf GTI and models.

In addition, the particularly light rayon carcass and the use of a special aramid composite material in the belt area reduce unwanted increases in the rolling circumference by up to 60 per cent, even at very high speeds compared to previously commonly-used materials. This also has a positive effect on driving stability and steering precision. The special tread compound uses high-performance natural resins and ensures the necessary grip, as well as excellent traction and braking performance on both dry and wet road surfaces.
