Hankook Ventus Z214
The Ventus Z214 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.
