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 outstanding driving stability.
Suitability for electric vehicles:
Tread design:
Sidewall design:
EV compatible
Tread reinforcement: the use of high-strength steel belts improves durability, prevents tread deformation and minimises movement while driving.
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.
Increased driving safety on snow-covered roads
Enhanced handling and braking in wet conditions
Designed for high loads
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.
Snow ejection system: the optimised design in the centre of the tread reduces snow adhesion to guarantee stability on snow-covered roads.
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 ensures optimum handling and braking performance even in emergency situations.
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.
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.
‘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.
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.
Enhanced 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 enhanced braking performance.

Fair tyre for the money
Put these on two months ago and the car feels noticeably more planted. The WinterCraft WP52+ grips well on dry roads.

Impressed so far
For this price I didn't expect much, but the WinterCraft WP52+ genuinely surprised me. Bought on price, staying for the quality. Holds well in snow and slush. Could be a touch quieter on rough tarmac.

Would buy again
Brakes hard and straight, no pulling. Very reassuring. Does the job, nothing more.

Good grip in the wet
Would recommend to anyone after a dependable winter tyre without overspending. Nothing fancy, but fair for the price.

A step up from my old set
Solid everyday tyre. Nothing flashy, but it does everything I ask of it. Second set of Kumho on this car. Holds well in snow and slush.
