  • Tick Icon Car
    Car tyre:

    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

  • Tick Icon Reinforced (XL)
    Extra Load or Reinforced tyres:

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

Product description & features

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 The Kumho I'Zen KW23 has been replaced by the WinterCraft WP51.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.

Tyre review for Kumho I'Zen KW23 185/60R15 88T XL
There were no issues, but due to a mild winter and because she's an older lady, the tyres were not really tested.

Tyre review for Kumho I'Zen KW23 185/60R15 88T XL
These winter tyres performed exceptionally well on the icy roads of the hilly region where I live, while other cars were unable to make it and had to turn around.
