Kumho Spare T131 Tires
The Kumho Spare T131 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. The tire utilizes its center rib to optimize its surface contact. As a result, it is able to provide adequate steering response and accuracy to the driver’s instructions. This better road contact stabilizes the structure against driving pressure, further improving its controllability.
All season traction is promoted with the tread design and durable compound. These allow the tire to enhance dry, wet, and winter grip. However, this model should not be used in severe winter conditions. The footprint’s circumferential grooves channel water and slush to reduce the possibility of hydroplaning, but careful wet weather driving is still recommended.
The Kumho Spare T131 is a compact spare tire. It features a smaller physical size compared to regular tires. It also has a lightweight construction. Due to this, it has various performance requirements. The tire must be inflated at 60 psi to properly function and it cannot exceed 50 mph. The decreased size reduces the space the tire takes up in the vehicle’s trunk, making it more convenient for smaller vehicles. While the tire offers limited performance only, it is still an excellent choice for emergencies. Carrying a compact spare tire in the car will eliminate the possibility of the vehicle being stranded on the side of the road.
