Tyre reviews Kumho I Zen KW22. Page 3 317

Size 205/55R16. Mounted on FF3 (for some reason, I couldn’t find it in the search). On dry asphalt, it behaves almost the same as summer tires. The only nuance is that it makes some noise, but the noise is not annoying. Over two seasons, the wear was approximately 30% on the protector and 10% on tread loss. In general, this is a very good winter tire for those who either don't clear their driveways at

205/55 R16 tyres on a Toyota Corolla Verso. Mileage for the season 2014-15 was around 15,000 km. Primarily driven on highways and on Urals mountains. The tyre really grips on asphalt and ice at any speed. Noise is negligible. Price in autumn was 3200 rupees. Worth its money. Lost about ten studs for the season, and that too only on the front left tyre. The rest are like new. Worn out

I bought this specific model based on reviews from multiple sources, as this brand is known for its soft tire and noise-absorbing properties on asphalt. I drive dynamically, in the rain or snow, it only sticks, it's extremely soft - as long as they're made in Korea, you can buy it with confidence.

Honestly, I thought the tyre was complete nonsense. Bought the car with it and just so happened to get caught up in the snow, black ice, drifts and all that.

In the end it proved itself to be quite respectable. Holds the road well, handles snowy mush well, grips ice well and does well on asphalt too. Even got up to 200 km/h on it and it held up well. In general, I think I'll leave it on for the next winter.

Used

I bought these tyres on a friend's advice, as he had KW 19s on his car, but the only ones available online were these, so I decided to buy them. I'm new to driving a car, but I did have experience driving on other winter tyres, so I'll just note that the driving experience was very pleasant, with handling like summer tyres on asphalt, and predictable braking. There's no noise at all (you need to keep the pressure as prescribed by the manufacturer).

I was familiar with this model, as my previous tire was the Daihatsu Yariv (2001 model) 175/65/14, and considering the rigidity of the suspension, after the summer Yakogama, there was a noticeable comfort, softness and oddly enough, acoustic comfort!
Currently, I own a Ford Focus 3 (2012 model)

Observing how drivers on

Very good tire, goes confidently on asphalt, snow, ice. Comfortable, quiet tire. Of course, it floats on a speed bump, like any other. I'm satisfied with the choice of this tire. Prior to this tire, I had a Hankook 4S2 and a Goodyear UG-500; I didn't notice any significant difference, one just needs to drive normally, they wear out themselves and damage others, then claim the tire is to blame.

Good traction on packed snow. You can easily drive into any snowbank, even if it's an icy one below.

Bad traction on bare ice, lacks tread stripes for traction. It's very loud due to its tread design.

Renault Duster 2.0l 4x4

Winter tire. Slides on ice, doesn't grip on snow, and only good for clear asphalt if you're not in a hurry. (Got stuck in 40cm of snow with 4-wheel drive – had to be dug out) Tire only for city use!!!!!!

Good tires. Winter is no surprise, do great on snow, good on ice, asphalt and water is drained well. The studs haven't come out yet, although I'm driving on asphalt regularly and skidding and braking, and loading in corners. There is a small tread wear on the fronts, but I wear out summer tires in 1-2 seasons to the limit depending on the type of rubber, so that's normal. The price is very cheap compared to. The minuses are very
