Ventus RS4

The Hankook Ventus RS4 (Z232) is a 200-treadwear extreme performance summer tire engineered for near-motorsports grip levels in a DOT-legal package that excels at track events, autocross, and drifting while remaining street-drivable. The RS4 features a carbon black and silica high-grip compound molded into a low-void, directional pattern with nearly 7mm starting tread depth. Its wide continuous center rib creates uninterrupted road contact for solid on-center feel and immediate steering response, while massive outboard shoulder blocks deliver exceptional lateral grip for high-g cornering. The RS4 has become the tire of choice for endurance racing series like ChampCar and Lucky Dog Racing League, where it matches or exceeds faster competitors while offering superior heat management and minimal wear. In Enduro 200 segments, the RS4 is equal to or faster than any other tire, with drivers praising its predictable breakaway, audible feedback, and hours of consistent performance through multiple heat cycles. Recommended hot pressure is approximately 40 PSI. The symmetrical tread pattern allows tire rotation by flipping on the rim, extending service life. With exceptional durability, rounded grip circles, impressive heat resistance, and the ability to be driven to the track and beaten on all day before driving home, the RS4 represents outstanding value for serious track day enthusiasts seeking a true dual-purpose tire.
