Hankook Tire will be supplying original fitment tyres for the Audi Q7 range including the recently launched all new Audi SQ7 TDI.

The first S-edition of the premium car makers’ Audi Q7 model is the strongest diesel-SUV on the market and incorporates a variety of cutting-edge technologies, some of them applied for the first time in automobile history.

Together with its Q7 sister models, the SQ7 TDI will optionally be equipped amongst others with the tyre maker’s ultra-high performance tyre Ventus S1 evo² SUV in size 285/35 R 22 106 Y XL all round, containing Hankook’s new ‘sound absorber’-technology.

To fully match with Audi AG’s requirements for their premium SUV range, Hankook engineers developed an ultra-high performance pattern without sacrificing the necessary comfort characteristics that are mandatory for this class of luxury vehicles. As an increased cavity noise is typical for light weight low aspect ratio tyres, its reduction was a pivotal aspect and a focal point of the development work to provide a top performing yet pleasant driving experience.
