Experience the Kinforest KF 550

The Kinforest KF 550 is a budget summer passenger tyre that is a Tyroola best-seller.Made with the latest silica compound, it provides excellent wet and dry performance and exceptional grip on twisty country roads and busy city streets. A firm central rib and long interlock buttons on the tread improves both accelerating and braking performance while reducing tyre noise significantly. Drivers using the Kinforest KF550 feel confident and connected to the road with its split-second recovery time during cornering and a contact patch that drains quickly during wet weather by its wide circumferential grooves.

Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

tyre-size

320 A A

•  320 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Kinforest KF 550 is an Asymmetrical Tyre


tyre-size

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.
