The Kumho PorTran KC55 summer tire is designed for light commercial vehicles based on passenger cars. It features design characteristics that adapt it for use in urban conditions.
Original Tread Pattern
The tire's tread has several distinctive features that provide it with a number of important advantages. It features an open design in the shoulder areas and a closed design in the central part. Triangular blocks are located here, arranged in such a way that they form a very wide longitudinal rib. At the same time, due to the use of rigid bridges, it has a solid structure, which ensures high directional stability and reduced rolling resistance. The transverse shoulder blocks provide traction during maneuvering and minimize the risk of uneven wear.
