Kumho WinterCraft WP71 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 13 reviews

Kumho WinterCraft WP71 earns mixed feedback: most praise strong snow/slush traction and acceptable wet braking, but many criticize wet cornering grip and vague dry handling at the limit. Noise-especially at low speeds-is a frequent complaint, while comfort is average and wear appears acceptable from limited reports. Overall, it suits budget winter use with good snow performance, but drivers sensitive to noise or demanding confident wet/dry handling may be disappointed.

Total waste of money. Dry grip is good ( in fact quite good for a winter tire), but for this we have summer tires..The compound of this tire is hard and this is very bad. Comfort is low (even compared to low budget tires) and they are very, very noisy. Especially between 40 and 60km/h expect to hear a noise like a 10 year old winter tire.
On wet, lateral grip is low, handling not so precise as you would like, dsc blink often. Braking in wet is ok.
I didn't test them yet in snow but it can't be good; the rabber is to hard to have a good adherence in snow.
Definitely I wont buy Kumho winter tires again!!!

On the one hand I find these tires to be very good on snowy,dry and wet winding roads. They have a very good grip on snowy hills too. But on the other hand, they are a little bit noisy on highways. About wear....can't tell yet......
