Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Rim protection stripRim protectionA raised rubber profile near the bead helps protect the rim edge from light kerb contact. It cannot prevent every type of wheel damage.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.

Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.92 (max. 630 kg)
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, ensures 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, optimised tread stiffness and an enlarged contact patch guarantee excellent driving stability.
Suitability for electric vehicles:
Tread design:
Sidewall design:
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.
Tread reinforcement: the use of high-strength steel belts improves durability, prevents tread deformation and minimises movement while driving.
Tread wear indicator: The hourglass shape of the wear indicator makes it easy to check tread wear and the remaining tyre performance in snow.
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 fine-tuned design in the centre of the tread reduces snow adhesion to ensure stability on snow-covered roads.
Designed for high loads
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.
Increased driving safety on snow-covered roads
‘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.
Optimal contact area: the optimized 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.
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.
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.
EV compatible
Enhanced handling and braking in wet conditions
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.

A step up from my old set
Does the job, nothing more. For daily commuting it's perfectly fine. Felt secure on icy morning roads.

Good grip in the wet
Steering response improved straight away after fitting. Very pleased. Bought on price, staying for the quality.

No complaints so far
Handles standing water better than my previous set. Feel much safer in autumn rain. Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate. Proper grip on packed snow, no wheelspin drama.

Solid winter tyre
Would recommend to anyone after a dependable winter tyre without overspending.

Pleasantly surprised
Decent grip dry and wet, but they took a few hundred km to feel bedded in.
