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.

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, optimised tread stiffness and an enlarged contact patch guarantee outstanding driving stability.
Suitability for electric vehicles:
Tread design:
Sidewall design:
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.
Designed for high loads
Enhanced handling and braking in wet conditions
‘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.
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.
Snow ejection system: the optimised design in the centre of the tread reduces snow adhesion to guarantee stability on snow-covered roads.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Increased driving safety on snow-covered roads
EV compatible
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.
Tread wear indicator: The hourglass shape of the wear indicator makes it easy to check tread wear and the remaining tyre performance in snow.

Braking feels secure
Comfortable over rough surfaces. My old set used to thump over every bump. Decent tyre at a fair price. Took a few hundred km to bed in.

Okay for everyday driving
Braking in the wet feels a touch longer than my old premium set, but at this price it's fair. My mechanic recommended Kumho and he was right.

Decent for the price
Grip in corners is reassuring and the steering feels a bit sharper than before. Holds well in snow and slush. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

Fine tyre, minor niggles
Bought a full set of Kumho for the family car. Comfortable ride and no drama in the rain. Proper grip on packed snow, no wheelspin drama.

Fair tyre for the money
Good tyre overall. Would have liked a bit more feedback through the steering. Not the last word in steering feel.

Fine tyre, minor niggles
Fuel consumption seems slightly better since the switch. Tyres themselves are great. Felt secure on icy morning roads.
