Kumho KRT03

The ribbed tread design and the all season compound boost dry, wet, and winter weather traction. In other words, the optimal tread keeps the road contact at all times, while the compound maintains flexibility in warm and cold temperatures. At the same time, wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. These grooves resist hydroplaning, by eliminating water and slush from the footprint. As a result, this combination guarantees a safe year-round performance.

The ribbed tread pattern maintains road contact, which boosts steering responsiveness and towing stability. It improves the steering response time and accuracy to the towing vehicle's commands, while the structure is secured against the pressure affecting it. At the same time, the outer ribs firmly grip the road surface and upgrade cornering. On the other hand, the strengthened internal structure and the rubber compound keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. In other words, they do not allow the tire to deform when handling large loads. This enables it to carry and withstand heavy loads, which makes it an excellent choice for commercial trailers.

The combination of road contact, ideal tread design, and durable compound reduces the rolling resistance. Fuel efficiency is improved as the driving pressure on the tread area is decreased. Rolling resistance presents the pressure that determines how much energy the towing vehicle needs to maintain the tire's motion. The lower rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions, which offers a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.

The ribbed tread pattern and the durable rubber compound protect the tire against irregular and premature wear. In other words, this tread evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the compound decreases the treadwear rate. As a result, this combination offers a longer-lasting tread life.
