One of the leading tire manufacturing companies, "Kumho", presents the winter tire for passenger cars I Zen KW22. This model is distinguished by excellent handling on snowy and icy roads even at high speeds, as well as excellent traction characteristics. Speaking of speed, this tire has a speed index of T, which means it can reach speeds of up to 190 km/h.

The stiffness of the tread has been increased due to the winding grooves. Thanks to them, the tire also wears out evenly, which extends its service life.

The design of the I Zen KW22 tire tread has an aggressive character, which allows the tire to successfully grip the road surface. Good traction is also facilitated by the chaotically arranged blocks of the tread of different sizes, the 3D-lamella system, as well as the wavy saw-toothed grooves. As a result, the tire clearly bites into icy areas of the surface and behaves confidently on the road.

As for the lamellas, they have different lengths: wide ones are located in the central zone of the tread, and narrower ones are on the sides. The first ones contribute to improved traction with the road and minimize the braking distance, while the second ones guarantee good stability when turning.

The studs embedded in the tread have an original, heptagonal shape. Thanks to them, the tire confidently moves and brakes on snow. The stud spacing is 3.5 inches. It is worth noting that the studs not only provide excellent traction on snow and ice but also give the tire a presentable appearance. The possibility of stud loosening is excluded due to the design of the tread itself.

Another positive characteristic of the Kumho I Zen KW22 tire is the high-quality water evacuation from the contact patch with the road surface. Two ring-shaped longitudinal grooves, combined with numerous wide transverse ones, reduce the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads to zero.

A few words should be said about the rubber compound that makes up the tread. It is selected in such a way that, first, the tire does not freeze at large negative temperatures, and all its driving qualities are preserved, and second, the tire provides stability when driving on wet, snowy, or icy roads. In addition, the presence of silica in the tread composition contributes to the higher wear resistance of the tire, as well as reduces vibration when moving at high speeds. All components of the rubber compound, it should be noted, meet the environmental standards established in the European Union.

This tire will be an excellent choice for winter "rubber" and will more than once delight its owner with excellent characteristics.
