- 3D Sipes for Rigidity & Ice Braking: High-tech 3D sipes are engineered to reinforce tread block rigidity while still providing numerous biting edges. This helps the tire maintain stable handling and enhances braking performance on icy roads, where SUVs and CUVs need extra control due to their higher weight.
- Optimized Groove Design: The tread features carefully optimized grooves that strengthen performance on snow and wet surfaces. By helping channel away water, slush, and loose snow, these grooves support better traction and more consistent contact with the road in challenging winter conditions.
- Turbine Blade Stud Discharge System: A turbine blade design around the stud area is intended to quickly expel dust and ice powder generated during contact with the road. By clearing this material away more efficiently, the tire can maintain more effective stud engagement, improving brake performance on icy surfaces.
- Asymmetric Sipes for Balanced Winter Grip: Asymmetric sipes are tuned to support traction and braking in different parts of the tread, improving overall winter performance. This layout helps the tire deliver more confident grip during acceleration, cornering, and stopping on snow, slush, and ice.
- Latest Compound Mixing Technology: Kumho uses its latest compound mixing technology to create a winter-focused rubber blend that remains effective in low temperatures. This advanced compound formulation improves ice control performance, helping the tread stay flexible enough to conform to the road and generate the friction needed for secure winter driving.
