Kumho Sense KR26

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• High comfort levels
• Enhanced controllability
• Fuel efficient performance

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Sense KR26 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire offers excellent all weather traction and performance. It combines the all season compound with the symmetric detailed tread pattern to improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The compound maintains the tire's flexibility in various conditions, which improves the tire's grip on the road surface. The detailed pattern with the siping and notch design provides additional biting edges gripping the road surface all year round. The tread's three circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by increasing the water and slush dispersing capability and power. The better traction and hydroplaning resistance guarantee a secure all weather driving experience.

The model promotes high comfort levels. The tread design and the tire structure decrease the road noise levels heard and the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The symmetric tread pattern features a variable pitch sequence on the tread area, which manages to decrease the road noise levels. The pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that negates the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion, which prevents the soundwaves from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the driving comfort. The strengthened structure manages to keep the optimal tire shape and maximizes the road contact to reduce the road vibration levels. This decreases the road vibrations felt during the drive as the tire absorbs the shock of driving. The high comfort levels ensure an excellent driving enjoyment throughout the tire's year.

The model's controllability is also enhanced with the tread pattern and the internal structure. The tread's continuous rib pattern and the maintained optimal tire shape closely follow the road surface at all times. The constant road contact improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the optimized structure stabilizes the model against the driving pressure affecting it. The shoulder tread block pattern improves the model's cornering ability and power. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface and ensure a secure cornering ability and power. The better controllability enhances the driver's control over the vehicle which ensures a safer drive.

The Sense KR26 has a lowered overall weight, which successfully eases the driving pressure off the tire. This reduces the model's rolling resistance, without sacrificing its traction, during the drive. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the model, which determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. This allows the tire to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. As a result, the tire provides a fuel efficient driving experience.
