All Weather Performance
All season tires offer superb surface grip throughout the year. Their tread design and all season compound manage to maintain a safe performing capability in various conditions to ensure a secure driving experience.
The Kenetica improves the dry, wet and winter weather traction with the all season compound and the special tread design. The compound manages to keep the tire’s flexibility in different temperatures, from colder winter weather to the heat of summer. On the other hand, the symmetric detailed tread pattern boosts the grip the tire has on the road surface. The siping pattern enhances the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the ribbed tread block placement maintains the road surface contact.
The tread design also helps further boost the wet and winter weather driving safety. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves and the open shoulder design work together to upgrade the hydroplaning resistance by eliminating water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. This keeps the road surface contact and enables the tire’s secure controllability all year round.
Handling and Controllability
A tire’s controllability determines its driving safety. The better a tire’s steering responsiveness and driving stability is, the safer the driver can control the vehicle in various conditions.
The Kenetica features a symmetric ribbed tread pattern that closely follows the road surface at all times. The constant road contact of the semi-solid center rib allows the model to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. This enables the driver’s full control over the vehicle throughout its performance.
The tread design also features solid shoulder tread blocks that upgrade the cornering capability. These tread blocks enhance the cornering by increasing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The higher number of biting edges ensure the tire’s constant road surface contact during the model’s maneuvering, which guarantees a safer performing capability.
Longer Lasting Tread Life
A longer lasting tread life of a tire is one of the most important features. The lengthened tread life means the tire can be used for a longer period of time. Manufacturers strive to elongate the tread life of their models by using different design methods and technologies.
The Kenetica comes with a 50,000 mile warranty. It was designed with a symmetric pattern and a flat footprint. This pattern maintains the tire’s road surface contact at all times which allows the model to equally spread out the driving forces affecting it. The evenly distributed forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area. As a result, the tire’s usability and tread life are significantly lengthened.
High Driving Comfort Levels
During the tire’s performance road and tread pattern noise are generated, which, if they reach the vehicle’s cabin, can greatly hamper the driving comfort of the passengers. Different tread designs are used to lower the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The Kenetica uses a special symmetric five-pitch tread pattern that negates the road noise the moment it’s created.
This pattern creates a sound frequency that negates the sound waves generated during the drive. This sound frequency cancels out the road and tread pattern noise before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passenger’s driving enjoyment. This results in a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
