Features and Benefits
- Next-generation high-grip resin compound technology: A purpose-developed resin additive in the all-season compound enhances grip and traction in both dry and wet conditions simultaneously — delivering the strong road adhesion and confident braking that UHP drivers expect, without the seasonal trade-off of a summer-only tyre.
- Wide lateral grooves with zigzag tread block design: Wide lateral grooves drain water rapidly from the contact patch to boost hydroplaning resistance, while the precisely angled zigzag tread blocks bite into wet and lightly snowy surfaces for improved traction and shorter stopping distances in variable conditions.
- 3D siping for light snow traction and braking: Three-dimensional sipes throughout the tread provide multiple biting edges for confident traction in light snow and frosty conditions, delivering the all-season versatility that makes the PA71 a genuine year-round performance tyre for New Zealand’s variable climate.
- Wide, stiff outer shoulder blocks for cornering stability: Reinforced outer shoulder blocks provide the lateral rigidity and road contact needed for confident, precise cornering — delivering strong grip and handling stability through bends and during rapid direction changes.
- Continuous centre rib for straight-line stability and steering response: A solid centre rib maintains consistent road contact at speed, providing on-centre steering feel, precise directional response, and composed high-speed stability.
- K-Noise Defender dimple design for a quieter ride: Kumho’s proprietary K-Noise Defender technology uses strategically placed dimples in the tread to disrupt noise resonance — delivering a noticeably quieter cabin experience than expected from a UHP all-season tyre.
- Reinforced twin steel belt structure: High-tensile reinforced twin steel belts provide the internal strength and high-speed stability needed for sustained UHP driving, maintaining the tyre’s contact geometry and handling precision at speed.
50,000-mile treadwear warranty: Backed by Kumho’s 50,000-mile treadwear warranty — strong coverage for a UHP all-season tyre that confirms the PA71 is engineered to go the distance as well as perform.
