Tire Description

The Ventus Z214 radial is Hankook's Track & Competition DOT racing tire developed for drivers who participate in autocross, time attack and road racing competition, as well as for track-day drivers seeking race-slick like grip in dry and damp conditions. The Ventus Z214 is designed to blend traction, cornering power and steering response to inspire driver confidence and quick times. Most sizes of the Ventus Z214 are available in two high-grip tread compounds, with the C51/Medium compound focused on track use and the C71/Soft compound tuned for autocross competition. Each tire''''s tread compound is identified by a colored sticker and is permanently branded on its sidewall. NOTE: The 275/35ZR18 size is also available in a C91/Very Soft compound. Ventus Z214 radials feature a symmetrically designed semi-slick tread with 4/32" of beginning tread depth that''''s only interrupted by two circumferential grooves to reduce squirm, undesirable heat buildup and eliminate the need for tread shaving. Heat cycling is recommended to enhance consistency and wear. Ventus Z214 tires feature directional rotation arrows branded onto their sidewalls to identify correct mounting rotation that will enhance tread splice integrity and durability. Following the rotation arrows, the use of a symmetric tread design allows Ventus Z214 tires to be mounted on either side of the car (and later be remounted inside out to further extend their life). The tire''s internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a spirally wrapped nylon cord on top of a three-ply nylon cord carcass. NOTE: While Hankook Ventus Z214 radials meet DOT requirements, they are not appropriate for highway use. The Ventus Z214 radials are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning. Drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds in these conditions.

Customer Reviews

In comparing this tire with the Avon TechR and BFG R1 the sidewalls of the Hankook soften when warm. This leaves the tire needing more camber in order to stay flat on the track. In order to use the Hankook on my Civic I would need at least 1.5 degrees more camber than the Avon or BFG.
