Marshal CW51

Relatively small cost of Marshal CW51 winter tire should not be misleading, especially regarding its technical characteristics, which are at a very high level. This is easily explained by the fact that this model was developed by specialists of the South Korean company Kumho, and today it is offered under its own brand Marshal at a more than humane price. If we consider that it is intended for light commercial vehicles, then this feature seems to be very important. Among other strong points of this model, it is worth noting its excellent stability on any winter roads and long service life.

Reinforced frame

Since this model was initially created for operation on commercial vehicles, the developers paid much attention to ensuring its maximum strength. This can be explained by the fact that the design of the Marshal CW51 tire is based on a very strong frame made entirely of steel cord. A similar material was used in the breaker, which improved many other operational properties, in addition to carrying capacity.

In particular, the presence of a very rigid and strong "substrate" directly under the tread made it possible to give the contact patch a practically square shape, while increasing its area. This, in turn, led to an improvement in traction and stability at high speeds and during maneuvering, an increase in resistance to uneven wear, and a reduction in rolling resistance.

Reliable behavior in rain and snow

In the process of creating this tire, solutions that have proven themselves well on previous models of the South Korean brand were used. One of them is the design of the drainage system. It not only consists of many grooves, both longitudinal and transverse. Each of these elements has significant dimensions, which allows the tread to perfectly get rid of both water in the contact patch and heavy snow masses. In addition, the significant height of the blocks provides the tire with excellent traction properties on snow.

Confident behavior on ice

In the absence of spikes, this tire demonstrates reliable and predictable behavior on icy roads. This is entirely due to the many hundreds of lamellas cut into all blocks without exception. When contacting the road, each of them creates a very sharp edge of traction, which easily penetrates the water film, providing the tire with a strong and reliable connection to the icy road surface.

Main features of Marshal CW51

- the tire was specifically designed for commercial vehicles;
- reinforced frame with a steel cord breaker provides excellent carrying capacity and strength, and also improves handling at high speeds and maneuvering, reduces fuel consumption;
- reliable behavior in difficult weather conditions, thanks to a thoughtful drainage system design that perfectly copes with both water and heavy snow masses;
- a large number of blocks and lamellas cut into them provide excellent traction properties both on snow and on ice.
