The most famous Korean manufacturer of automobile tires, the company "Kumho" ("Кумхо"), which has been on the tire market for over half a century, presents the Power Grip KC11 model, designed for operation on SUVs, light trucks, and minivans. This winter tire, thanks to the latest developments and production technologies, provides confident driving on winter roads. It is specifically designed for harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for Russian realities. Kumho KC11 has received significant recognition among car enthusiasts. What makes this tire achieve such success?
First and foremost, due to its excellent grip on the road, which is achieved through the original tread pattern design, simulated using a computer. It has a directional character. The large zigzag-shaped edge located in the central zone of the tread contributes to high directional stability when moving in a straight line, and the rigid shoulder blocks guarantee confidence when passing turns. The wide channels in the center of the tread ensure stability when moving on snowy or icy roads. They also contribute to the effective removal of water from the contact patch with the road surface. The drainage grooves, as it were, break the water film, providing high-quality water drainage and thereby minimizing the risk of aquaplaning. The geometric shape of the grooves was designed specifically with the condition that the tire will move through slushy snow, which is the most serious test for water-draining channels.
Also, the Kumho Power Grip KC11 has a system of abundantly arranged lamellas for even greater confidence in movement.
A few words are also worth saying about the composition of the tire tread. It is also designed with the specifics of heavy operating conditions in mind, which is why it includes not only functional polymers but also silica, silicon dioxide. It does not allow the tire to freeze at strong negative temperatures, preserves its elasticity, and, as a consequence, even in the most unfavorable external conditions for movement. Plus, due to the elasticity of the tire, the pressure is evenly distributed throughout the contact zone with the road, which ensures its high wear resistance.
Another qualitative characteristic of this tire is its low rolling resistance. Thanks to this, fuel consumption during movement decreases, and you can save up to five percent of fuel. Therefore, this tire is considered economical.
In general, this tire is a very good option for winter driving, especially for heavy Russian conditions.
