Tyre reviews Kumho I Zen Wis KW19. Page 2 78

I bought these tires with my own money, they perform well on asphalt. The studs seemed a bit small. On Petersburg ice, I think they will start to slip. But the tread is quite large, it can handle snow. The wheels are not noisy, the Gislaved 5 is twice as loud, I put them on VSMPO disks instead of the native ones, the car started to quickly gain speed, the dynamics of acceleration improved significantly.

Average
I bought it last year, didn't stud it. Honestly, on ice, it performs average. Not bad, but I think like any tire on bare ice. Driving on snow is okay. Maybe I'm a newbie, didn't stud it, but my impression of it is 4 minus.
Pros: Price
Cons: Traction on ice

PRICE-QUALITY ABOVE AVERAGE (4.8)
VERY GOOD (AGRICULTURAL TIRES) NOISE IS MINIMAL, ACCELERATION ON ICE IS VERY GOOD, WHEN BRAKING ON SNOW IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME TO ENGAGE (ABS) AND IT PUSHES SNOW IN FRONT OF IT VERY STRONGLY.
Pros: EXCELLENT TIRES
Cons: --

FOR NOW - SUPER!!!

I've changed from summer MATADOR tires, the feelings are SUPER! The incredible noise of the "bearings" has gone, the "rattles of the racks" have stopped. In short, it's soft and quiet. But the ABS kicks in too early and when driving at speeds above 90 km/h, you have to make adjustments (on wet asphalt). Haven't had a chance to test on icy roads yet.

Pros: Soft and

Good, gripping tires!

On the old tires, it simply skidded a couple of times on a flat surface, when turning smoothly at medium speed, driving on snow was simply scary, and braking on ice was useless. I bought Kumho for this winter, the car sticks to the road like a magnet, moves smoothly and confidently, holds turns, brakes on any winter road. Successfully copes with snow, it's not scary to park in "mash" by the side of

Excellent tyres in terms of both traction and comfort. They handle snow very well, only getting stuck a couple of times, and that was because the road was taken off the main road and onto the shoulder, where there was snow up to the waist. After two seasons of use, the studs are still all in place, although there are fewer of them now, but they are still enough to allow the tyre to grip the ice and plough through the snow. They are quite soft, and I don

Spent the season on Kumhos. Car is Mazda 626. These tires were on the front, and on the rear was another model, but on the front drive axle the front wheels are more important.

I'll start with some positive emotions - excellent quality of siping, drove with a blower on the asphalt, broke the tread, of course, but only a couple of pieces flew off the entire winter. On clean asphalt, they handle well, the car doesn't float,

I read the reviews, bought it... not satisfied, it's extremely noisy!! (Completely deadens noise on the highway, just wow!) Rolled on it for a bit, other characteristics are pretty standard for a winter tire. Nothing in this tire surprised me, I think you can find something better within a year.

The tire itself is alright, I'd say it's just a decent "city" tire, suitable for clear asphalt and winter roads with no snow or ice. It's on par with the "Kama" and "Tagan" tires. However, it's afraid of black ice and behaves erratically on snow, constantly understeering. On the other hand, it's very quiet. I've since replaced it with the Michelin X-Ice North 2, and it's a completely

I like
Did not slip, holds the road perfectly, starts on ice are not very good, it's just great in turns. Not good when there's mud on the asphalt...
Pluses: optimal option for price-quality
Minuses: poor behavior on dirty asphalt
