The Ventus R-S2
Z212 is Hankook's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed
for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and high
performance sedans. The Ventus R-S2 Z212 is designed to
provide crisp cornering, responsive steering and a firm
grip. Like all summer tires, the Ventus R-S2 Z212 is not
intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through
snow or on ice.
The Ventus R-S2 Z212 radials feature Hankook's High Grip
Silica Compound featuring an advanced resin technology used
for their racing tires molded into a directional tread
design. Wide continuous shoulders, intermediate ribs and
center rib increase rubber-to-road contact, reduce
distortion while cornering and enhance responsiveness on dry
roads. Wide circumferential grooves and large shoulder
notches help water flow through the tire's footprint to
resist hydroplaning.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts
reinforced by two-ply high-density, spirally wrapped
jointless nylon. Additionally, a two-layer rayon carcass
that sandwiches a hard sidewall filler and steel side
reinforcements between the body cord plies helps resist
distortion at high speeds and while cornering. |
