Kumho KC11 is from our winter tyre range and is suitable for mid-priced cars. The build has been reinforced to make it resistant to mechanical damage and to be assured in various winter weather conditions.
Kumho KC11 is constructed using a compound containing rubber, with silica being its main component. This makes the tyre operational over a wide range of winter temperatures. The contact area with the road has been enlarged to provide extra safety and improved traction. The success of the tyre is down to its computer-aided design which delivers optimal performance irrespective of the underlying road surface or conditions.
The tyre achieves good performances on winter roads by having deep 13 mm grooves which make the tyre more stable. Furthermore, it includes four wide longitudinal channels which zigzag across the tyre surface and these combined with numerous side grooves allow for the efficient removal of slush and water from the tyre. Stability on uncertain surfaces is achieved through Lamellar cuts on the surface of the tyre combined with sharply-pointed blocks on the tread.
Kumho KC11 delivers short braking distances via an optimized tread pattern, In adverse weather conditions, the tyre still enjoys precise cornering and certainty when performing sudden manoeuvres. The tyre is reinforced by using a rigid belt, which prevents premature tyre deformation.
Kumho KC11 is an excellent choice of tyre for drivers which want a durable, comfortable tyre which delivers an assured performance on any tyre of surface.
