The Kumho I'Zen KW23 focuses on winter traction with a passenger car winter tyre designed for snow, slush and ice. The KW23 uses a cold-weather silica compound, and the tyre maintains flexibility at lower temperatures. The directional tread moves water and slush and aids in the removal of slush through grooves that run from front to back. The I'Zen KW23 has multiple biting edges across the tread blocks due to dense slits in the tread blocks.
The I'Zen KW23 has winter markings for snow and winter conditions as it carries the 3PMSF and M+S markings. The directional tread is designed to aid in the rotation as the arrow is moulded in the sidewall. The Kumho I'Zen KW23 has been replaced by the WinterCraft WP51. You can find the I'Zen KW23 by Kumho available at Tyres.co.uk.
