Product description & features

The Kumho KC53 is specifically designed for the high demands of delivery work. It has three grooves that run lengthwise to channel water away. The ribbed tread design supports uniform wear and retention of rubber through the centre. The KC53 features a reinforced carcass to support the demands of commercial transport. The ribbed blocks have been sipped to improve traction on wet road surfaces.

Kumho also markets this tyre as the PorTran KC53, which you may see in tyre size listings. Some sizes have a dual load index, meaning they will have two load index numbers on the sidewall for single and double wheel use, and will feature M+S markings. The Kumho KC53 is available from Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Three lengthwise water channels
  • Ribbed tread for even wear
  • Reinforced casing for commercial transport

Tyre review for Kumho KC53 215/60R17 104T
Overall, I'm impressed with the tyres. Although I find them slightly lacking in regards to traction for quick wet road acceleration, they perform well in traction. For example, they can easily spin if trying to join the road traffic quickly! Still, they remain consistent with braking on wet surfaces. The rare occasions where an abrupt stop is required do not engage the abs.

Tyre review for Kumho KC53 215/60R17 104T
They have fitted tyres on the motorhome and the mileage is low. It's not exactly a comprehensive test, but so far they seem to be doing well!

Tyre review for Kumho KC53 215/60R17 104T
Best tyres I could find for my camper conversion. I drove to and from France and they have tackled all weather types and different roads. Drive is really quiet for commercial tyres.

The grip under wet conditions feels unsafe.

There is no need to worry about losing grip pulling to one side when going around roundabouts or accelerating from a junction.

I hope these last longer too, they're designed for vans and have sturdier sidewalls.
