The Ventus S1 Evo2 K117 is designed with DTM technology and high-grip silica tread compound that provides enhanced traction for shorter braking distances in all weather conditions, and lower rolling resistance for improved heat management as well as fuel efficiency. The tread profile is optimized for confident handling and precise cornering capabilities due to balanced pressure distribution by the footprint design. The wide steel belts and polyester carcass with rayon fiber increase tread stiffness, steerability, and overall handling even at high speeds. The high-strength bead filler and solid bead wire enhance sidewall durability while helping the footprint maintain its shape. The tread design also prevents aquaplaning through to rapid water drainage, and enhances heat generation for better road grip at high speeds under wet conditions.
