Hankook’s Ventus S1 evo 3 named as original equipment on BMW i4
- Starting today, tyre manufacturer #hankook will supply tyres for the #BMW #i4 – the first fully electric Gran Coupé from Munich-based carmaker #BMW – as well as for other vehicles
- Hankook’s flagship summer tyre, the #ventuss1evo3, will be used on the #i4. It comes in all-position and mixed tyres from 18 to 19 inch in both standard and runflat options
Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 13 April 2022 – Premium tyre manufacturer #hankook is equipping the BMW i4 Gran Coupé with its ultra-high-performance (UHP) tyres. The tyres come in mixed sizes in 18-inch and 19-inch. In addition, the manufacturer also supplies a 19-inch runflat option and an 18-inch all-position option. Ultra-high-performance (UHP) #ventuss1evo3 tyres are used on the #BMW #i4.
“It is particularly complex to calibrate a tyre for an electric vehicle like the #BMW #i4,” says #sanghoonlee, President of #hankook Tire Europe. “We significantly expanded our research in this area a few years ago and this effort is now paying off. By supplying the product for the #BMW #i4 we are strengthening our presence in the electric sports car sector, which I’m delighted about.”
The #ventuss1evo3 – a great choice for the #BMW i4
The #ventuss1evo3 combines a reinforced sidewall with a high-strength bead core, resulting in sporty, dynamic driving performance and precision steering. In addition, the ultra-light rayon carcass and special aramid composite material in the belt area partly reduce unwanted expansion in the rolling circumference, even at very high speeds, which likewise has a positive effect on driving stability and precision steering. The special tread compound made from high-performance natural resins guarantees the necessary grip and excellent traction and braking performance.
