Kumho I`ZEN XW KW17 includes modern, asymmetric tread that has been divided into zones. Each of them performs different functions. The outer zone has wide, arrow-like grooves. The carving ensures efficient water and slush removal to the outside. Additionally, slightly rounded outer shoulder’s edges reduce vibes and hums level causing that the Kumho I`ZEN XW KW17 tyre ensures silent and comfortable drive. In the tyre’s central part single rib, whose aim is precise transfer of the steering wheel movements onto the road, has been placed. The tyre ensures good handling even while high speed driving. In order to enhance performance on the wet, two straight, longitudinal canals that respond for efficient tread drainage have been used. Water and slush are quickly disposed from the tyre’s contact surface. Therefore, protection from aqua- and snowplaning has been obtained. Rubber compound enriched with the silica which gives proper flexibility and durability has been used in the tyre’s production. Inner side of the tread equipped with solid blocks on the shoulders, zigzag circumferential canal and arrow like grooves responds for the proper traction on the snowy surface. The blocks edges are sharply ended so that they easily bite into surface. The tyre does not skid and ensures dynamic moving out and accelerating.
