Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127: The Tire that Merges Performance with Sustainability
Unmatched Performance and Safety
The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127 is designed for those who seek a perfect blend of performance, driving safety, comfort, and sustainability. This premium tire is engineered to deliver exceptional handling and stability, whether you're navigating wet or dry roads.
Advanced Tread Design
The interlocking tread blocks significantly enhance cornering stability, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. The specially reinforced outer shoulder, with its optimized pitch sequence and newly developed tread structure, improves ride quietness and handling precision. Meanwhile, the inner shoulder's unique block arrangement enhances wet grip and optimizes water displacement, keeping you safe in all weather conditions.
Innovative Tire Construction
The Aqua Pine tread compound incorporates raw materials like pine resins and vegetable oils, mixed in state-of-the-art facilities. This results in increased tread hardness and stability, delivering outstanding wet performance. The use of high-strength steel belt wire efficiently absorbs external impacts, enhancing the tire's durability and ride comfort.
Reinforced for High-Speed Stability
With aramid-reinforced belts, the tire resists the ballooning effect, maintaining a consistent contact patch even at high speeds, allowing for higher cornering speeds. The dual-layer fiber reinforcement structurally strengthens the tire's hardness, while the folded belt edge further enhances belt durability. The strong seamless bead wire ensures optimal tire fit on the wheel, even during high acceleration, providing a secure and reliable driving experience.

The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

Highly recommended A deserved first test win for Hankook. It really excelled in wet braking, but this was a great all-round performance.
