Enhance Your Drive with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127 tire is a game changer for luxury vehicles, boasting top-notch performance, handling, and comfort. Here’s the scoop on why this tire is a must-have:
Wet and Dry Mastery: Featuring interlocking grooves, this tire grips like a champ in the rain, keeping hydroplaning at bay while ensuring your ride is smooth on dry roads too. And get this – it’s all backed by a fancy technology patent!
Built Tough for Smooth Rides:
Super Stiff Shoulders: This baby handles corners like a dream, boosting dry handling by 15% with its beefed-up outer blocks and a tough aramid hybrid belt.
Reinforced Belt and Wire: These bad boys beef up the tire’s strength and soak up shocks, upping both durability and comfort.
Extra Reinforcements: With a dual-layer stiffener and a super strong bead wire, this tire holds up under pressure, staying snug on the wheel even when you punch the gas.
Next-Level Tread Tech:
Advanced Silica Compound: This new mix is not your average blend. It's cooked up at lower temps for longer, giving you a solid ride and longer tread life—way beyond what regular tires offer.
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127 is not just about getting you from point A to point B; it’s about cruising there in style while ticking all the boxes for safety, comfort, and a little bit of green consciousness. If you’re in the market for a reliable, high-performance tire, look no further!
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

Highly recommended A deserved first test win for Hankook. It really excelled in wet braking, but this was a great all-round performance.

04.09.2024 from KP Performed well in regarded to grip levels both wet and dry, did aquaplane more than the Pirelli’s P zeros but absolutely unbearable road noise and harshness. Yes I had 22” wheels with a very low profile but when compared to the OEM Pirelli P Zero & Scopions I’d avoid these if you want to enjoy your drive.
01.06.2022 from Ian Superb grip on twisty country roads
I've had minor spin when pulling away on wet surfaces, but have driven through very wet conditions with no concerns.
Noise is more from poor road surfaces than the tyres and they're very quiet on quality roads. Still surprised by how little they've worn in 6 months.
05.09.2020 from Elaine barclay Changed to these tyre as wasnt happy with the grip on the ones I had. Would definitely recommend great grip in wet and dry very good braking and comfortable and not any louder then any other tyre I have had.
