Hankook tyres OE on Ford Focus Active

Ford’s new Focus Active is available from the factory with Hankook tyres, reports the tyre maker. As of December 2018, the crossover wears Hankook’s Ventus Prime 3 in sizes 215/50R18V and 215/55R17V.

“During development of the new Ventus Prime 3, special attention was paid to a high traction and braking performance, particularly on wet road surfaces,” comments Klaus Krause, head of Hankook Tire’s European Research and Development Center. “By using an adapted asymmetrical tread, the actual contact surface between the tyre and the road has been increased by ten per cent. This means the Ford Focus Active will hit the road especially safely and precisely thanks to Ventus Prime 3.”
