HANKOOK Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117A - 235 50 R19 99V

It is a performance-focused tyre. While it handles wet conditions excellently, it is designed primarily for summer and moderate weather conditions rather than heavy snow or ice.

You can find the DOT code on the sidewall; the last four digits represent the week and year of manufacture (e.g., 1223 would be the 12th week of 2023).

While some variants in the K117 series are designated as run-flats, you must verify the specific MPN on your tyre sidewall to confirm its construction.

No, these are strictly highway and performance road tyres. Off-roading may damage the sidewalls and tread.

XL stands for Extra Load. It indicates that the tyre is designed to carry heavier loads than a standard tyre of the same size by utilizing a higher inflation pressure.

It is recommended to check your tread depth at least once every month or before long road trips using a gauge or the built-in wear indicators.

Check for proper wheel balancing or potential uneven tread wear; if persistent, have your suspension components inspected.

Ensure proper tyre pressure as under-inflation can cause irregular wear patterns that increase noise levels.

Verify wheel alignment and check for uneven air pressure between left and right tyres.
