255/45R18 Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 – Performance Summer
Category: Summer – Ultra High Performance
The Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 Aqua Pine tread compound combines natural raw materials together with advanced technologies that increases tread hardness and provides excellent performance on wet roads. A hybrid reinforced steel belt adds riding comfort and tire strength to respond to high level initial acceleration and folded belt edge tape improves belt endurance.

What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 103 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 875 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating Y indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 300 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- UTQG 220 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
- Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
