Hankook Tire expanded its partnership with German luxury auto manufacturer Volkswagen, outfitting its 2018 Tiguan R-Line with Ventus S1 noble 2 [Pattern H452] in two sizes: 255/45R19H and 255/40R20V XL.

The Ventus S1 noble 2 is a high-performance, premium tire with renowned handling and rolling resistance. The tires are specifically designed to increase fuel efficiency and reduce road noise, providing excellent riding comfort due to Hankook’s 3D vibration control technology.

The Tiguan is a most recognizable global model and the 2018 VW Tiguan R-Line is the sport adaptation of its latest vehicle, the second-generation Tiguan medium-sized SUV, powered by a turbocharged engine with a redesigned sport-look. As a result, Hankook engineers designed the original fitment tire for the R-Line to provide high-grip and precise handling to match the sport vehicle, as well as ensuring comfort and durability have not been compromised in the process.

“Hankook Tire is happy to deepen its partnership with Volkswagen by supplying the Tiguan R-Line with our high-performance tires,” said Hyun Jun Cho, Head of OE Division. “We are pleased that respected automakers around the world value the tires we produce, including the Ventus S1 noble 2.”
