The Ventus R-S3
is Hankook's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for
serious sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan
enthusiasts looking for a race-minded street tire that can
also meet the demands of autocross, drifting and track
events. The Ventus R-S3 is designed to reduce the
performance gap between street and track tires by
significantly improving dry traction; however like all
summer tires, it is not intended to be driven through snow,
on ice or in near-freezing temperatures.
Hankook Racing Carbonblack Silica Compound (RCSC) technology
has been incorporated in the Ventus R-S3 to improve dry
grip. The tire's profile has been developed to maximize a
footprint contact patch that features a directional tread
design comprised of large shoulder blocks, notched
intermediate ribs and a wide center rib to deliver constant
road contact and enhance the tire's handling capabilities.
The Ventus name and unique flame patterns are subtly
recessed into the center rib and both intermediate ribs to
help drivers show off their "hot" new treads. Wide
circumferential center grooves, narrower outboard grooves
and multiple lateral grooves provide water evacuation for
wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes two
wide steel belts reinforced by nylon to provide strength and
high-speed capability while two-ply polyester sidewalls help
resist lateral deflection to provide responsive handling and
cornering stability. |
