Kumho I`ZEN KW27 is a mid-priced winter tyre which delivers a high performance, and is suitable for high-powered mid-class and executive cars. The tyre technology is optimized for its price point and the motorist gets a great tyre for its price. 3d siping is used to enhance grip and traction on ice or snow. The flexible sipes bite into snow or ice, and act as an anchor to lock into the road surface and enhance the driving stability.
Kumho I`ZEN KW27 uses a silica composite in the tyre build to reduce low-rolling resistance. The tyre erodes slower than the average tyre and a higher mileage can be enjoyed, before the tyre needs replacing. As fewer emissions are produced, it makes this tyre more eco-friendly.
Kumho I`ZEN KW27 is defined by its asymmetric tread profile. This makes the removal of excess snow, ice, slush much easier on winter roads. On dry roads, cornering is enhanced as there is a large contact area on the side areas of the tyre to aid road-contact.
Kumho I`ZEN KW27 is defined by its value-for-money proposition and impressive balanced spec for its reasonable price. This tyre model is ideal for those who want a safe, high-performance tyre and want to enjoy the driving experience, irrespective of the weather or surface.
