    Winter tyres:

Product description & features

The Kumho WinterCraft WP51 tyre is a winter tyre designed for traction on snow and wet ice roads. It has a V-shaped directional tread which improves traction and channels away slush and water quickly. Closely placed, zig-zag winter sipe tread design increases traction in biting edge traction while the winter tread compound increases flexibility in low temperatures.

These WP51 tyres have the M+S and 3PMSF marking on their sidewalls. The 3PMSF marking on these tyres is to show that the tyre meets the minimum requirements necessary for certification of winter tyres with regards to snow grip. The winter tread design with high surface area of sipes is specifically designed for cold and wet conditions where temperatures are below 7 degrees Celsius. These Kumho WinterCraft WP51 tyres can be purchased at Tyres.co.uk.

Tyre review for Kumho WinterCraft WP51 185/55R15 86H XL
Things are looking good so far. I haven't driven too many miles with these tyres yet and I haven't faced any snow either, but I'm really happy with how they coped with the steering on the flooded roads.
