VENTUS R-S4 HANKOOK TIRES
Concept
Concept of design
Geometric Chamfer Design
The edges of all treads are geometrically chamfered to enhance tire durability and prevent tread damage from constant pressure. The weight generated by high-speed driving and emergency braking is maximized by the chamfered design.
“Strong movement”
Technology
Excellent directional pattern technology
Inherited Ventus R-S3 application of directional pattern technology.
Optimized contact ratio per block to maintain optimum block stiffness on straight and circuit tracks
High hardness tread blocks
Widened center block improves steering response The widened center block maintains stable grip on the road and enables responsive steering response
Improve cornering grip.
Two main grooves
anti-aquaplaning technology.
Grooved Multi-Angle Technology
Strengthen the tire block hardness to prevent vibration.
Technology
Compound Technology
Addition of Silica to enhance Wetland Performance
Improve wet grip
Highly dispersed silica
Hydrophilic effect
Enhanced wet handling performance with hydrophilic silica.
Application of functional resins to increase compound stiffness and heat release
The resin structure increases the stiffness of the tread compound, which in turn improves dry handling.

Maximizing Wetland Performance Through Functional Polymers
Optimized silica polymer structure
Normal
Compounds that balance wear and low rolling resistance
The application of functional polymers to improve the structure between the hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophilic silica can maximize the wet handling performance.

Improves tire grip by increasing heat release from the tread compound.
Technology
Multiple tread radius
4TR System (Multiple tread radius technology)
The Ventus R-S4 features a Quattro tread radius profile that maintains maximum grip at high speeds or tight corners not only on general roads, but also on race tracks.
Apply racing technology to ensure optimum grip
Racing tires are contoured to maintain optimum shoulder grip during acceleration and cornering. At any drive angle and condition, you'll be amazed after cornering.
Technology
Uniform Trajectory Technology
Virtual simulation under various conditions of use
Maintains tire track shape and tread pressure even in harsh conditions, improving grip and control performance unlike existing products.
Traction while free rolling
Traction when cornering
Technology
Sustained firmness
Uniform tread temperature during operation
The optimized design improves the overall structure, and the tread of the tire has the best heat dissipation shape for any run. Even on repeated laps, the tread doesn't slip due to heat.

Test Report (Single Lap time)
Willow springs raceway (LA)
Location : 3500 75th Street west rosa mond, CA 93560
Track Length : 1.6 miles (About 2.6 KM)
Lap time
A 2.07-second improvement is achieved through advanced contouring, compounding and structural design in high-offset cornering conditions. Compared to the previous generation, the lap time is 0.82 seconds shorter.
Lap times are also shorter compared to the competition.
