Kumho Power Grip KC11 – a studded-less version of the model for crossovers and SUVs used in urban conditions. It is characterized by reliable fixation of the contact area, efficiency in passing snowy and icy sections, and preservation of working properties in a wide temperature range.
The tire has been developed with modern trends in mind, so it meets most world standards. Its basis is an elastic compound with a high percentage of siliceous components, which maintain the softness of the rubber even at low ambient temperatures. This has had a positive impact on the durability of the contact area fixation and traction properties.
The tread pattern of the model is represented by a directional symmetric structure, which has a solid rib with numerous notches and uneven edges in the center. Thanks to this element, course stability and precision steering at high speed have been achieved. The rest of the tread surface is occupied by separate block structures of various shapes. Forming a large number of engaging edges, they improve acceleration and braking characteristics, maintaining the stability of the vehicle on winter roads. They are complemented by numerous three-dimensional lamellas that densely cover the surface of the block structures.
To reduce the effect of aquaplaning and cleaning of the contact area, a developed system of canals is provided. Opening in the "shoulder" area, they quickly drain water, slush, and dirt. This significantly improves the level of safety, improving driving characteristics.
