Tyre reviews Kumho I Zen KW22. Page 1 317

I bought those tires on my new car (I have a Lancia Ypsilon, which is not listed, by the way). The tread blocks are well stuck, there are plenty of sipes, and the tire is soft. In the first year, the tire met all expectations, but it was noisy on dry asphalt. In the second season, it behaved accordingly worse - the wear was noticeable. But! A good winter tire is a new winter tire. Maximum 4 seasons and that's it

+ Didn't expect much from winter tires, but this one surprised me. Balanced perfectly, came with Korean 185/65 R14 (M-2141). Tears through snow, ice, and other northern unpleasantness, soft, and perfect for our frosty temperatures. Can only sit on the bottom even in deep, loose snow. Noisy, of course, but that's not summer, a particular growl at 45-65 km/h, just the squeal of the studs before

Tires are performing well for the fourth season now, although half of the tread is worn out and sipes are well-cut, and the road is held.

The tire might be great but not for spirited driving. After 30,000 miles it's already worn down by about 60% and has only 5-10% of its tread left.

Excellent model
I drove one winter, which turned out to be very snowy, a rarity lately. It did not fail anywhere. It pulls the car out of snow or snowy slush without any problems. It keeps the car straight in snowy slush. On ice, it holds the car well.

New winter tires bought with my own money for the first time. Used them for 1.5 months. Satisfied with the handling and braking. Haven't driven in deep snow yet.

I've been running this tire for the third season now. It's a superb tire, quiet and no whine, with excellent traction - 5+ on snow and ice, no complaints whatsoever. The car handles confidently, with the ABS kicking in very rarely. I've compared it with Hankook Winter i* Pike RW11 and Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 on other cars, and I'm struck by how much quieter the KW22 is, despite being on a Niva.

I bought these tires 4 years ago (2012). At the time of writing the review, almost all the treads are missing, but this is due to improper usage, you have to rotate the tires at low speeds. In general, I'm very satisfied with the tire, it's worth the money. It holds the road well, has saved me a few times. Good price-quality ratio.

Ran three winters. Change axles every season. Wear 50-60%. Tread remaining 10% on two wheels. No noise, average traction, degrades as it wears. Not suitable for dynamic driving. Drive calmly, and it will last longer!)
