Kumho Road Venture APT . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Excellent driving durability; Longer lasting tread life; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Kumho Road Venture APT is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for sport utility and light truck vehicles. This tire has some touring passenger vehicle sizes as well. Kumho offers a 60,000 mile tread wear warranty with this tire model.The tire's special all season tire compound and symmetric tread pattern design guarantee an excellent all weather traction. The model performs safely in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. The wide circumferential and numerous lateral grooves improve the water and slush dispersing ability which actively prevents the model from hydroplaning in wet weather conditions. The combination of the hydroplaning resistance and the all weather road gripping ability ensures a more secure year round driving experience.The model's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon and a polyester cord body. They guarantee the tire's superb shape in all weather conditions. They work together to enhance the tire's driving strength and durability. As a result, the tire maintains its optimal shape even under the driving pressure. It does not deform under the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking, which boosts the performing capability. The constant optimal shape ensures a safer drive and excellent handling, as the tire resists the force of the driving pressure affecting it.The tread pattern design's solid center rib and interconnected shoulder tread blocks increase the model's handling and cornering ability. The solid center rib maintains constant road contact which stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure. The shoulder tread block sequence improves the steering responsiveness and enables the tire to quickly and precisely react to the driver's commands. The shoulder tread blocks also boost the cornering ability and power. The interconnected tread blocks promote additional biting edges that firmly grip the road in all weather conditions, increasing the cornering and maneuvering ability and power.The Road Venture APT's tire compound and the tread design's intermediate tread blocks prevent irregular tread wear from forming across the tread area. The longer lasting tread life and tire usability are guaranteed with the even tread wear. The tread design evenly distributes the driving pressure across the entire tread area, which prevents irregular tread wear from forming along the tire surface. The longevity of the tread elongates the tread life and tire usability significantly. 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.
