Kumho KC15 has been equipped with sturdy, asymmetric tread which guarantees high performance on each surface. The tyre’s carving has been divided into 2 zones. The tyre’s outer zone has straight construction. It ensures optimal traction on the wet road. Wide and deep circumferential canals efficiently remove water from the tyre’s contact surface. This is also a protection from hydro-and snowplaning. The inner zone ensures safe driving on the muddy and snowy road. V-shaped blocks arrangement has been applied. Wide grooves’ system with numerous bends ensures proper adhesion even on the thick and packed snow. Sharp blocks edges bite into surface; therefore, the tyre does not skid. Kumho KC15 tyre copes equally well on the dry surface. Wide shoulders, which stabilize the driving route and distribute the pressures on the tyre’s surface, ensure optimal pressures’ distribution. Therefore, uniform tread wear has been obtained. Sinuous shaped sipes’ cuttings system has been used to guarantee better adhesion on the slippery surface. They ensure biting into surface effect. Tyre’s central rib, responsible for transferring the steering wheel movements onto the road, has a herringbone pattern, owing to which it adjusts to all irregularities on the road. Special grooves between the blocks were used to reduce the vibes and hums level.
