Winter -haired tire Kumho Wintercraft SUV Ice WS31 255/55 R18 109T

The Kumho WinterCraft SUV ICE WS31 winter tire was developed on the basis of the Wi31 model. All differences are due to the fact that this tire is intended for SUVs and crossovers. The most significant of them is the enhanced frame and the increased size of the contact spot.

This model was developed taking into account the characteristics of the winter road surface in the countries of Scandinavia and Russia. For such conditions, the V-shaped tread is suitable as best possible. Its version from the South Korean shinniks is distinguished by the presence of hard jumpers between all blocks.

In this case, they are located in such a way that when in contact forms very long transverse clutch edges stretching through the entire tread. This feature provides excellent performance for longitudinal accelerations in the snow.

In turn, the adhesion properties on ice are provided by several thousand lamellas. Their design is quite original. In a vertical context, the shape of their walls has a structure similar to bees.

numerous ledges so tightly fix the lamellas in the open position in contact with the road that the block remains very tough. This positively affects controllability when moving on even and smooth coatings.

it is also worth noting the possibility of installing spikes. Places for this are located in such a way that most of the 20 rows are located in the central part of the tread. This additionally increases the productivity of the spikes on ice.

Features:

• Lameli Honeycomb improves the clutch properties on ice, without violating controllability on dry even coatings;
• Places for installing spikes that form when 20 continuous rows;
• compound, which remains equally elastic in a very wide temperature range.
