The Kumho Winter PorTran CW11 tire is a winter tire specifically designed for light commercial vehicles, such as vans and light trucks. It is engineered to provide improved traction and handling in cold weather conditions, including snow and ice.
Snow Traction: The tire's tread pattern incorporates an advanced snow traction compound and biting edges to enhance grip on snowy surfaces. This helps to improve acceleration, braking, and cornering performance on snow-covered roads.
Ice Performance: The tire is designed with special tread block shapes and a high-silica compound to optimize traction on icy surfaces. It helps to provide stability and confidence when driving on slippery roads.
Wet Traction: The tire's grooves and sipes are strategically placed to efficiently evacuate water and slush, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and improving wet traction. This helps maintain control and stability on wet and slushy roads.
Durability: The Kumho Winter PorTran CW11 tire is constructed with a strong casing and sidewall design to enhance durability and resist damage from road hazards commonly encountered during winter driving.
Comfortable Ride: Despite being a winter tire, the Kumho Winter PorTran CW11 aims to provide a smooth and comfortable ride by reducing road noise and vibrations.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
