More about Kumho I Zen KW31 tyres
How is the I Zen KW31 different from other tyres?
Korean engineers have developed the Kumho I Zen KW31 in an attempt to create a winter tyre with balanced performance in all aspects. That’s why, from the rubber compound to the finest tread details, a whole host of innovative technologies and ingenious solutions have been applied.
The tyre is made from a high-quality rubber compound enriched with a whole range of elastomers, allowing the tyre to remain flexible over the widest temperature range. A flexible tyre grips the road much better. A number of other elements have been added to the rubber compound to make the tyre more sustainable and economical.
Tread characteristics
The central tread block is made of a much softer rubber than the shoulder areas. This significantly improves the tyre’s grip on slippery surfaces.
The massive tread blocks are densely packed with several thousand sipes in a directional style, replacing the studs. They cut into the ice with sharp edges, creating a firm grip on slippery road surfaces. The sipes, together with wide drainage channels, channel water and snow away from the contact surface, drying it out.
Has the brand succeeded in creating a mid-range tyre with high, balanced performance characteristics? MMK Tyre Centres experts say that this tyre model can adapt to almost any winter conditions. The only drawback is that studded winter tyres will be much safer in deep snow and ice.
