The summer tire Kumho 722 is predominantly used in compact passenger cars. The operational properties are selected with regard to the specific conditions of urban traffic. It is characterized by comfortable handling, effective braking on a wet surface, acoustic comfort, and a soft ride.
The tread pattern is distinguished by the increased size of the shoulder zones and their optimized profile, which maintains a large contact patch during maneuvering. This significantly increases stability and steering accuracy when cornering, reduces uneven wear. The long transverse edges contained here provide high deceleration intensity on a wet surface. The central part contains inclined blocks connected by narrow continuous ribs. This design increases course stability at high speed, allows for effective implementation of traction effort.
Main features:
- increased shoulder zones and their optimized profile improve grip and steering accuracy during maneuvering;
- inclined blocks in the central part increase longitudinal grip on a wet surface;
- increased volume of drainage elements improves resistance to aquaplaning.
