The Ventus R-S2 is Hankook's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and high performance sedans. The Ventus R-S2 is designed to provide crisp cornering, responsive steering and a firm grip. Like all summer tires, the Ventus R-S2 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Ventus R-S2 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.
