  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

Product description & features

The Kumho WinterCraft WS71 uses a cold-weather rubber and a V-shaped winter directional tread to create traction on packed snow and slush. The WS71 is engineered to drain water and slush thanks to the grooves on the tread, which run from the centre to the outer edge. High density 3D sipe technology provides an edge to snow biting, as the sipe is engaged by the snow and provides traction. The rubber is designed to remain flexible in lower temperatures and the outer edge of the tread is designed with a stiffer block to provide support when driving an SUV.

WS71s have 3PMSF and M+S on the sidewalls, meaning the WS71s passed the snow traction test and are marked for mud and snow respectively. The directional tread has a fitting direction indicated on the sidewall, meaning the V-grooves are to face the front of the vehicle. Tyres.co.uk sells the Kumho WinterCraft WS71.

Highlights

  • Cold-weather rubber stays flexible
  • V-shaped tread for snow and slush
  • Grooves drain water and slush

Tyre review for Kumho WS71 265/40R22 106V XL
These Kumho WS71 tyres have overall done well in a variety of conditions. In the rain, as well as in the snow, I've driven on them, and they have provided reasonable grip. Although it is still fairly early, I believe they will make it through the winter months with no problems.

Tyre review for Kumho WS71 265/40R22 106V XL
These tyres have performed remarkably well in snowy and icy road conditions. I felt confident driving on ice, and the tyres showed no signs of slipping. I will definitely refer these tyres to my friends who are in need of winter tyres.
