Hankook Tire has succeeded in developing tires for new cars that are concentrated with innovative technology based on close cooperation with Volkswagen over the past two years. In particular, it once again proved its global top tier-level technology by obtaining the original symbol "+" while meeting all the demanding technical requirements presented by Volkswagen, which has a reputation for being strict in selecting automobile parts.
The 'Juventus Evo SUV' mounted on the Tigu is a product that combines excellent driving performance and quietness. It is characterized by overcoming the trade-off phenomenon in which when certain performance is improved, other performance is degraded by adopting the optimal tread (tire surface in contact with the ground) design and the optimal compound (a mixture of various raw materials of tires) using the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
In addition, a high-performance drainage design was applied to the tire groove (a thick groove on the tire surface) to improve braking and handling performance on wet roads, thereby improving rain road driving stability. "Champer" technology, which gently handles the edge of the tread block, evenly distributes ground pressure to further strengthen dry road braking force and increase tire block rigidity to achieve stable high-speed driving and cornering performance.
In addition, it significantly reduces tire abnormal wear, such as maintaining balanced block rigidity by adopting an optimal tire pattern design and evenly distributing ground pressure even under high loads, providing excellent mileage (tire life) performance.
The 'Juventus Evo SUV' is supplied to Tiguan vehicles in a total of five specifications, from 18 inches to 20 inches. Among them, the 20-inch product mounted on the high-performance model "R-Line" passed the real-vehicle test at the Nurburgring Nordschleipe, known as the world's harshest racing circuit, proving the highest level of ultra-high-performance tire technology.
In the meantime, Hankook Tire is continuously supplying tires for new cars to major brands under the group, including Volkswagen 'Tiguan', 'Pasat', 'Zeta', and 'Golf', as well as Koda, 'Enyak iV', and 'Cupra' and 'Tavaskan', strengthening cooperation with Volkswagen Group.
