Kumho Wintercraft SUV Ice WS31

It combines the winter compound and its directional tread design to boost the ice and snow grip. The directional pattern features a detailed zigzag siping pattern which increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the drive. The stronger compound maintains the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures, boosting the winter traction. The tread's angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, preventing hydroplaning in the process. Furthermore, the tire is pinned for studs. These studs can be added to increase the ice and snow grip throughout the model's performance, which enhances the driving safety levels.

The directional tread's continuous center rib manages to maintain the tire's surface contact throughout the drive, which greatly upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The shoulder tread block placement, with the high-density siping detail, boosts the cornering ability. These elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during cornering, enhancing the maneuvering safety. The directional pattern's siping detail and notches lateral lugs manage to create friction between the tire and the road surface, which reduces the tire's stopping distance by upgrading the braking power. In this manner, the tire ensures a safer handling and performing ability throughout its lifetime.
