Kumho Road Venture AT KL78
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All terrain traction
- Enhanced controllability
- All weather traction
- Upgraded durability
OVERVIEW
The Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.
The tire improves the all terrain performance with the ideal tread pattern. The tread design's staggered block placement and wide groove placement, with the open shoulder pattern, manage to increase the soft, loose and uneven terrain and on-road traction. They allow the tire to conquer various terrain conditions throughout the tire's performance. The tire's tread elements maintain a constant surface grip on various terrains, while they also keep the footprint clean. They eliminate mud and snow from between the tread blocks, which block the tire's surface contact, to increase the traction. On the other hand, this tread pattern also protects the tire from stone retention by ejecting rocks stuck between the tread elements. This combination ensures a secure on- and off-road terrain performance.
The model increases the all weather traction as well. It combines the all season compound and the detailed tread design to boost the dry, wet and winter weather grip on various terrain and road surface conditions. The staggered tread blocks and their optimal siping detail work together to enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface at all times, which guarantees the tire's secure on-road performing capability. The compound keeps the rubber flexible in various temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter situations. The tread design's optimal groove placement helps prevent hydroplaning during the tire's on-road drive. These grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, significantly improving the wet and winter weather gripping capability.
The tread design's ideal block placement upgrades the tire's driving surface contact at all times. This enables the tire to maintain a constant surface grip to improve the controllability. The terrain and on-road surface contact enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, it makes the tire faster and more accurate in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread's siping placement helps boost the braking power, even in wet and winter weather driving conditions. The sipes create friction between the tire and the driving surface at the moment of braking, successfully shortening the braking distance. In this manner, the tire ensures the driver's full control over the vehicle at all times.
The Road Venture AT KL78 features a stronger internal structure. The reinforced construction improves the load and driving durability by keeping the ideal tire shape under the pressure, which greatly enhances the overall load capacity. The structure also helps protect the tire from punctures and impact damage while the tires are in motion. The tire's compound utilizes durable rubber materials to prevent tread damage, such as the tread's chipping, cracking or tearing. As a result, the tire promotes a safer driving experience.
