Kumho AT52 All Terrain

The Road Venture AT52 is Kumho's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tire developed for drivers of Jeeps, SUVs and light trucks looking for rugged off-road performance, along with confident handling, comfort and all-season traction for the daily drive. Engineered to take command of rugged terrain along with surefooted handling in inclement weather, the Road Venture AT52 features wintertime traction sufficient to earn the tire industry's severe snow service rating and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

A durable, cut-and-chip resistant tread compound is molded into a symmetric pattern engineered to balance off-road capabilities with on-road comfort and even wear characteristics. The compound's optimized polymer blend and complex structure carbon black enhances wear while helping improve dry and wet road traction for predictable handling on the pavement. A high-void pattern provides the necessary biting edges for off-road traction while its five-pitch block variation helps minimize road noise. Extreme Side-Biters help increase grip in loose, rutted terrain while also providing added puncture protection in the upper sidewall area. Robust shoulder block geometry features saw-tooth like edges for improved loose surface grip which work in conjunction with multi-angle, high-density sipes for light snow traction that meets the tire industry's severe snow service requirements.

Internal construction of the Road Venture AT52 utilizes a two-ply reinforced casing built to combine durability and ride comfort, while twin, high-tensile steel belts offer a sturdy foundation that help distribute the tire's load across its footprint. The enhanced under tread gauge is designed to increase comfort and puncture resistance with a single nylon cap ply helping maintain high-speed stability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
