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 225/75R16 121R
It's a van, so you can't expect superb cornering. They do skid a bit in the wet.

Tyre review for Kumho KC53 225/75R16 121R
It is hard to provide a detailed opinion for these tyres as I have fitted them to a motorhome and they have not covered much distance yet. However in the couple of hundred miles driven they have seemed fine, albeit the weather has been dry.
