Kumho Wintercraft Ice WI31

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Wintercraft Ice WI31 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire promotes great winter weather traction. The detailed directional tread design and winter compound work together to increase the winter weather dry, wet and slippery road surface grip. The 3D honeycomb pattern boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface in versatile conditions. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures thanks to the flexible rubber materials. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added to the tread area to increase the ice and snow gripping power with added biting edges. The wider and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This ensures a safer winter weather driving experience.

The model improves its controllability with the ideal tread design. The directional pattern's ideal surface contact boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread block placement upgrades the cornering and maneuvering ability. They boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the tire's performance, guaranteeing a safer dive. The tread's special 3D honeycomb siping detail and the durable winter compound work together to increase the braking power. They create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, shortening the stopping distance significantly.

The Wintercraft Ice WI31 improves the comfort levels. The tread's low profile design and optimized tread pattern lower the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. They avoid the formation of road and tread pattern noise by preventing airwaves from entering the footprint. In this manner, the road disturbances cannot dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment which enables the tire to ensure a quiet and comfortable driving enjoyment.

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.
