Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Hankook K127 VENTUS S1 EVO3 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
<p>Very good tyre. I will buy againe for sure.</p>
<p>Trsh tyre, it came with a car so it is oem and maybe not the same as retail if it is i would never ever recomend to buy this tyre on golf class cars.</p>
<p>I have driven it for a couple of thousand km (this is their second season). I have a mixed fitment setup - 225/40/R19 in the front and 255/35/R19 in the bank. Before I bought them I saw a couple of reviews saying they wear out quickly. That's not really my experience - they still feel and look like quite new. I don't feel any drop of performance in the tyre so far. It's not the sportiest or the most comfortable tyre out there, but in my opinion is one of the best value for money options out there. I use the car as a daily driver, family car and occasional weekend fun in the mountains - I never thought the grip is not enough or I need more comfortable tyre. There's only 1 reason that I wouldn't recommend this tyre anymore - the newer model Hankook Ventus Evo K137 is already out and it is just as affordable in my region
So knowing the S1 evo3 I would just recommend the newer model.</p>
<p>This tire start felling apart after 10 000 km. My Cupra Leon vz 333k was delivered with these tyres but. They are not good for this car. 35 profile is very thin and every hole or wrong asphalt you can feel. I did not use these tyres on race track day because i was only trying what this car is capable of but no drifts no hard things and this tyre is gone after 12000 km. Also after 5 000km this tire starts to be so Loud... at highway 150km/h you need to scream on your passenger so they can hear you. (With winter tyres pirelli scorpio zero this was not a case and 150km/h on highway was quieter)</p>
Original tires on my Cupra Leon hybrid 272.
At about 10,000 km, the front right tire had a big crack on the inside of the tread which is not normal and poses a safety risk.
