Kumho KRS02

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Longer lasting tread life
• Enhanced load durability
• All weather traction

OVERVIEW

The Kumho KRS02 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's steer axle.

The tire promotes a lengthened tread life. The symmetric tread design with the five rib pattern keeps the tire's contact with the road surface constantly. The tread's solid shoulder design upgrades the road contact which allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoid the formation of irregular tread wear along the tread area. The durable compound is wear-resistant. In this manner, the tire significantly slows the tread wear rate down, which extends the tire's usability and service life.

The model is capable of handling heavy loads. The strengthened construction and the tread's optimal road contact improve the load durability. The stronger structure does not allow the tire to deform under the load and driving pressure affecting the model, and it maintains its optimal contact with the road surface. The tread's solid shoulder ribs optimize the road contact to ensure even pressure distribution. As a result, the tire is capable of handling and carrying heavy loads with ease and without deformation of the tire's shape. This significantly increase the model's load capacity.

The KRS02 upgrades the all weather traction. The symmetric ribbed tread design and the all season compound work together to boost the tire's dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound maintains the tire's optimal pressure distribution and keeps the rubber flexibility in various weather conditions. The ribbed tread's siping detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year. This combination allows the tire to improve the year round driving safety. The circumferential grooves help prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. This allows the tire to ensure a secure driving experience all year.
