Tyre reviews Kumho I Zen RV Stud KC16 49

I bought the tires in the fall, when the first snow was falling. Today, it's already February outside. During the time of use, I have traveled over 4,000 km on the new tires. There was a mix of road conditions - snow, slush, and dry asphalt. I was very pleased with the tire! It sticks to the road like glue! Many are writing about the noise of this tire. I can't confirm it - the tire is very quiet to me.

Before this, I had a similar Kumho on a VW Polo, ran four seasons on it. Of course it was noisy but very durable and 70% of tread was left.

I once got a hole in this tire in a deep hole, the rim was bent and the valve was damaged. I thought I had blown the sidewall, but to my big surprise, there were no severe cuts. On the pickup, I noticed that it does not hold the road well on dry pavement

Used SsangYong New Actyon (2012) 4x2 front-wheel drive. Made it through the last winter and plan to continue using it. Winter tires have worn off: 7 slippers on the left front wheel and 4 on the right front wheel, rear tires - all studs intact. Haven't driven on pure ice, only on glazed snow. Loose snow, slush is good at picking up, a bit jerks to the right and left when accelerating hard

Excellent on the Ford Kuga 2-2014 model year of the new generation SUPER Grip: stable and economical from the first day of purchase in the autumn of 2014, the consumption of fuel fell by 2 litres!!! compared to the summer tires in the spring.

I purchased Kumho I Zen RV Stud KC16 265/70 R16 112T (studded) tires (5,885 rubles each) in November 2017. Now I'm approaching the 7th season of using this set of tires. I've driven 33 and a half thousand kilometers on them. I'm satisfied with both the tires themselves and the delivery service provided by Yulia Varganova, a big THANK YOU to her. I want to say that over these seven years, only about 15% of the studs on the tire have worn out and the tread looks like new. The quality of manufacturing and reliability of the tires in road conditions make me very happy.

Good tire for the money.

Ran on the tyre through 4 winters with 95% tread remaining. Got to drive on various winter roads, very satisfied. As a drawback - it's quite noisy.

I bought this tire in 2013, and since then I've driven on it for 3 seasons and 60,000 km. As for the noise, I don't have anything to compare it to because I used to drive a Niva and the noise insulation was always sufficient for me. Regarding the tire itself: I've lost 3-5 studs on the wheel, the contact with the road is good, but deep snow is one of its best features. In terms of durability,

Good tyres, 3 winters old, all studs in place, 4x4 vehicle.

It came with the car, new, from the previous owner. Ugly tires. Korean brand, but made in China. And the quality is very poor. Heavy and stiff - you feel all the bumps on the road. Noisy, bad balancing... When punctured, not every tire fitter can qualitatively repair it. It breaks down in turns. On slippery surfaces, it's completely useless - my Pajero, with this tire, is like a cow on ice. But on dry roads, thanks to the tread pattern and deep lamellas, it grips like a tank - and it's as loud as a tank. At temperatures below -25, it literally slips off the rims, especially if the car has been standing outside for a couple of days - even gel in the tires doesn't help. You can get a blowout while driving. The wear resistance is awful. I would never buy such tires myself. After the second winter, I changed them - it's scary to drive on such a piece of junk.
