The Kenda KR27 winter tire is one of the latest developments from a well-known Chinese manufacturer. This model was initially created for the harsh winter conditions of Northern European countries. The tire is released in 14 of the most popular sizes from 14 to 17 inches. The model is perfect for use on most modern passenger cars.
When developing this tire, Chinese specialists were guided by the advanced solutions of leading tire manufacturers. This model is equipped with a tread with a V-shaped directional pattern. This structure of the tread pattern has given the tire a number of important advantages. First of all, it is worth noting the significantly improved handling stability, which has added reliability and stability to the handling, especially on slippery roads.
Another strong feature of this tire is the reduced rolling resistance, which has led to a reduction in fuel consumption. This was achieved by equipping the tread pattern with a wide central rib. However, this element of the tread has a very significant impact on a whole range of other characteristics of the Kenda KR27 IceTec tire, thanks to the features of its design. First of all, it is worth noting the zigzag edges of the central rib, which on the one hand contributes to increased traction on snow, and on the other hand reduces noise levels. Another feature is the dual structure of the central rib, which has significantly improved handling stability.
As is known, one of the drawbacks of a rubber compound based on rubber is a decrease in elasticity at negative temperatures. To combat this phenomenon, Chinese tire manufacturers used special components that maintain the elasticity of the rubber compound even at very low temperatures. This made it possible to significantly improve the tire's grip on an icy surface.
