Kumho Introduces Road Venture HT
Kumho Tire U.S.A. Inc. has launched the Road Venture HT, "an advanced all-season highway-terrain tire engineered for optimal performance across any road condition."
The Kumho Road Venture HT will be available to dealers in May and consumers in June in more than 40 sizes, "ranging from 15-inch to 22-inch rim diameters," according to Kumho officials.
"It is backed by an industry-leading 75,000-mile limited treadwear warranty for P-metric sizes and a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty for LT-metric sizes. A road hazard warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee trial are also included, underscoring Kumho's commitment to quality and value.
"Developed with innovative technology, the Road Venture HT is purpose-built for light truck and SUV owners seeking a dependable, everyday driving tire. It offers enhanced wet and snow traction, extended tread-life mileage and a smooth, quiet ride for ultimate driving confidence."
The tire also is electric vehicle-compatible.
"With significant enhancements in structure, design and materials, the Road Venture HT delivers exceptional performance, durability and comfort, so light truck and SUV vehicle owners can drive with confidence year-round,” says Shawn Denlein, Kumho's president of sales and marketing.
Features include an optimized structural design and a new generation polymer compound with high-dispersible micro (HDM) silica contribute to superior wear resistance, providing a 10% improvement in tread life compared to its predecessor. 3D chamfers and integrated tie-bar noise reduction technology ensure a quiet and comfortable ride, while reinforced polyester body plies strengthen sidewall stiffness and improve cornering stability.
"For wet driving confidence, the tire features a high-grip resin and four wide circumferential grooves for efficient water evacuation," say Kumho officials. "Wider lateral shoulder grooves, multi-angle sipes and independent tread blocks with enhanced biting edges work together to deliver superior traction and stability.
"Additionally, a zig-zag tread design and waved 3D interlocking sipes deliver enhanced snow traction and earn it 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, which Kumho officials say enables the Road Venture HT to set "a new benchmark - combining advanced engineering with true winter-rated capability to deliver a uniquely versatile, all-weather solution."
