The Kumho I Zen KW27 tire is a representative of a completely new generation of winter tires used on sports cars and luxury vehicles. Due to its asymmetrical tread pattern, the tire has excellent handling characteristics in the winter season.
The silica-containing tread compound improves traction, reduces stopping distance on snowy and icy roads. The massive blocks in the shoulder areas of the tread, combined with the asymmetrical pattern, provide precise handling and optimal traction on any road surface at any speed. The asymmetrical tread also ensures confident cornering and maneuvering in any weather conditions.
The wide channels and large number of lamellae on the Kumho I Zen KW27 tire effectively remove snow from the tread, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The transverse and longitudinal channels provide high-quality removal of snowmash. The central four channels provide excellent directional stability. The optimally selected block step and their number ensure a minimal sound effect when moving at any speed.
The rubber compound is perfectly balanced, so it not only provides high-quality traction in various extreme conditions, ensuring effective braking and powerful acceleration, but also has a sufficiently low rolling resistance, reducing fuel consumption while driving.
The tire is produced using the latest Run Flat technology, which provides a high level of safety, allowing you to drive for about 100 km in the event of a puncture.
Main features of the Kumho I Zen KW27 tire
- a unique tread pattern with diamond-shaped studs that form ribs, guaranteeing stable traction on any road surface and excellent directional stability;
- the increased tread height made it possible to achieve confident movement on snow and increased the tire's resource;
- all the studs on the tire have a different shape, size, and mutual arrangement, and are calculated using a computer, which allows breaking sound waves, reducing the noise level.
- 4 deep and wide grooves effectively remove snow, water, snowmash from the contact patch, preventing aquaplaning and skidding.
- 3D-lamellation of increased density increases traction on ice, snow, slippery roads, reduces stopping distance, and maximally increases traction.
