Kumho WinterCraft WP52+ 225/55 R19 99V

Description

WinterCraft WP52+ winter tyres

Driving safety on snow-covered roads:

This keeps the rubber of the Wintercraft WP52+ flexible even in cold temperatures for high traction, better stability and increased safety on snowy roads.

Wet handling and braking:

Braking:

Interlocking 3D sipes: the new tread pattern with a high density of multiple sipes increases block stiffness, guarantees better grip on snow and improves handling in all winter conditions.

High-strength tread structure: the double-layer structure improves driving stability at high speeds and handling.

High-strength/ultra-light cord insert, fine-tuned tread stiffness and an enlarged contact patch ensure superb driving stability.

Suitability for electric vehicles:

Tread design:

Sidewall design:

• Special rubber compound with natural oil: Kumho's special winter rubber compound, which contains sunflower oil, among other ingredients, has greater elasticity, which improves traction.
• Tread wear indicator: The hourglass shape of the wear indicator makes it easy to check tread wear and the remaining tyre performance in snow.
• Improved braking performance: thanks to a new, cross-linked polymer raw material with high viscosity and hysteresis, the tyre offers better grip on all road surfaces and improved braking performance.
• Enhanced handling and braking in wet conditions
• Designed for high loads
• ‘HL’ sizes available - developed for heavy EVs. According to ETRTO, high load tyres (HL) are extra load tyres designed to carry a higher load at the same reference pressure.
• Use of high-strength carcass layers: the use of high-strength polyester threads in the construction of the tyre carcass improves stability when driving at high speeds.
• Optimal contact area: the optimised contact pressure of the Wintercraft WP52+ has been developed to reduce irregular tread wear and premature abrasion of the shoulder blocks while maintaining driving comfort.
• Increased driving safety on snow-covered roads
• Kumho Tyres' unique diamond-shaped surface pattern resembles stylised snow crystals, visually implying the tyre's winter suitability. Winter suitability on snowy and wet roads is particularly emphasised by the ‘snowflake’ design motif.
• EV rubber compound: the use of an EV-specific compound has resulted in a 10% improvement in wear and a 5% reduction in rolling resistance.
• Snow ejection system: the optimised design in the centre of the tread reduces snow adhesion to guarantee stability on snow-covered roads.
• EV compatible
• K-Sipe Control (3D sipes): Kumho Tyre's 3D SIPE technology (K SIPE CONTROL) is used to effectively transfer braking and driving forces to the road surface. This guarantees optimum handling and braking performance even in emergency situations.
• Tread reinforcement: the use of high-strength steel belts improves durability, prevents tread deformation and minimises movement while driving.
