Over the past two years, Hankook Tire has succeeded in developing original equipment tires packed with innovative technology through close collaboration with Volkswagen. It met all the stringent technical requirements set by Volkswagen and earned the original symbol mark ‘+’.

The 'Ventus Evo SUV' is a product that combines excellent driving performance and quietness. By adopting an optimal tread design (the tire surface in contact with the ground) and the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the optimal compound (tire raw material mixture), it overcame the trade-off phenomenon where improving one performance leads to the deterioration of another.

High-performance drainage design was applied to the tire grooves on the tire surface to enhance braking and handling performance on wet roads. The 'Chamfer' technology, which gently processes the edges of the tread blocks, evenly distributes contact pressure to strengthen braking power on dry roads, and increases the stiffness of the tire blocks to deliver stable high-speed driving and cornering performance.

The 'Ventus Evo SUV' is supplied to the Tiguan in a total of five sizes ranging from 18 inches to 20 inches. The 20-inch size product, mounted on the high-performance 'R-Line' model, proved its top-level ultra-high-performance tire technology by passing real-vehicle tests conducted at the N?rburgring Nordschleife, known as the world's most demanding racing circuit.
