KR504 | WINTERGEN 2 SUV
- wet handling
- dynamic driving
- low noise
- snow handling
KR504 WINTERGEN 2 SUV, the SUV Winter pattern developed by European engineers is especially designed for continental European winter conditions. The directional tread pattern provides an optimized wet grip and offers exemplary traction on snow and ice. The extension to the KR501 WINTERGEN 2 – the KENDA passenger car pattern, offers impressive handling capabilities with a smooth and comfortable ride on all surfaces. Its newly designed snow grooves guarantee superb snow traction, whereas the four lateral grooves maximize the water evacuation.
Benefits
- European development
- High cornering stability
- Superb water evacuation to avoid aquaplaning
- Maximized winter performance
KENDA Tire Technology
Winter compound with improved stiffness to maximize Wet and Snow grip.
Directional arrow tread pattern
with optimized V-shape channel for both an excellent Snow Traction and Braking by trapping snow into voids and increase shear forces for better Snow grip.
Jagged edges of shoulder grooves
increase longitudinal shear forces on snow thanks to the higher snow compression trapped into the void for a better braking and acceleration and they increase lateral grip on both Snow and Ice Handling thanks scratching mechanism on snow/ice surface.
Continuous Center rib design
provides higher longitudinal block stiffness and higher rubber contact area to improve Steering feel and effort on both Dry and Wet surfaces.
Longitudinal grooves in the center
optimized in terms of dimension and position in order to improve water drainage for maximized overall Wet performances.
3-D sipes increase snow grip
without compromising dry road handling and Braking due to limited block deformation comes from 3D sipe shape interlock.
High performance Tire
For safety and control
MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION
- KR210 uses the latest tread compound technology featured by high-silica content developed for this specific product to maximize wet and rolling resistance performances without any trade off on other areas.
- Latest generation of sidewall compound applied on KR210 with an improved rolling resistance keeping stiffness for handling performance.
- Tire construction has been optimized in order to guarantee excellent handling stability on wet and dry surfaces without compromising ride.
- Even footprint pressure distribution and shape reached by both tire construction and tire profile optimization in order to ensure long lasting performances.
