Product description & features

The Kumho WP72 is a winter tyre designed for modern cars that need dependable performance when UK temperatures drop. Built to work best below around 7°C, it’s a smart choice for drivers who face frequent rain, cold roads, slush and occasional snow, while still wanting secure everyday handling.

Its winter-focused tread pattern uses a dense network of fine sipes to create extra biting edges for traction on slippery surfaces. Deep circumferential grooves and open channels help clear water and slush quickly, supporting confident wet braking and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The tread blocks are shaped to maintain a consistent contact patch as you steer and brake, so the tyre feels predictable on fast A-roads and winding lanes.

The WP72 also benefits from a cold-weather rubber compound that stays flexible in low temperatures for more reliable grip. A balanced carcass construction helps keep the ride composed and stable, while carefully shaped tread blocks are intended to limit unnecessary vibration and road noise on longer journeys. Kumho WP72 tyres are available in a broad range of sizes to suit many hatchbacks, saloons and estates.

You can buy this tyre online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, choosing either fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or delivery to your preferred address.
