Kumho KRT03
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season performance
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer-lasting tread life
- Fuel-efficient drive
OVERVIEW
The Kumho KRT03 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. This model is designed to be mounted on trailer axles.
Excellent all weather traction is promoted with this tire. 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 model also enhances controllability. 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 tire provides a fuel-efficient performance. 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 Kumho KRT03 also lengthens its service life and usability. 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.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
