[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hankook Tire & Technology announced on the 14th that it will supply original equipment tires (OET) for BMW's electric Gran Coupe i4.

The Ventus S1 evo3 being supplied this time features a high-strength bead core and reinforced sidewall structure. Additionally, it applies a lightweight rayon carcass (tire skeleton) and a reinforcement belt made of high-strength advanced fiber aramid material.
