Kumho WinterCraft Ice Wi51 225/55 R17 101T

The schematic representation of an iceberg and ice crystals on the sidewalls of a tyre clearly hints that we are facing a delegate from the winter tyre society. Kumho WinterCraft Ice Wi51 225/55 R17 101T belongs to an extensive guard of friction tyres that unleash their performance potential on snowy and icy roads. The model uses a directional tread pattern with a central rib of increased rigidity for the sake of ensuring driving stability at high-speed driving rhythm.

In the central section of the tyre, the sipes are located at an angle of about 45° to the plane of the roadway, which is designed to improve the traction and braking characteristics of the model. In the shoulder blocks of the tread, the slots have a wave-like shape. The density of tyre contact with the roadway is increased by micro-notches in the shoulder areas, made in the image and likeness of the legs of a lizard. The elements of the shoulder sections of the tyre are placed with variable height — this design feature is aimed at reducing the noise level. Also in the "shoulders" of the model, you can see the indicators of the residual height of the projector in the form of an hourglass.
