  • Positive - Strong in the dry with good subjective handling in all conditions.
  • Negative - Weakest tyre in the wet overall, low aquaplaning resistance
  • Overall - The Kumho Winter Craft WP52 has a similar performance overall to the Falken, but it was a little better in the snow and had a slightly better rolling resistance, but couldn't match the Falken in wet handling. Tit for tat between the two brands.

    Given 78% while driving a Audi A3 Sportback (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
    I have WP52 on my A3 Sportback. Very good tyre, excellent grip on snow, and dry roads, satisfy grip on wet road.

    Given 60% while driving a Hyundai elantra (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 8,000 average miles
    Good dry handling and traction, average wet and below expectations on snow as for a winter tyre. Noise depends a lot on tyre pressure

    Given 79% while driving a Ford 05 Mondeo 185 (modded) diesel (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
    Nice grip both on snow and on dry/wet roads. Wear seems a little high, but we'll see how long they'll last.

    Latest Kumho Winter Craft WP52 Reviews

    Given 69% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
    25,000km already done with these wp52s, they are generally good but a slight feeling of vagueness in terms of grip in the wet, in the dry you can feel the tires working in the turns, always this feeling a little vague. On the snow the traction is good, it does the job.
    The tires consume a little more than summer tires, and they are of course a little noisier.
    But the price-performance ratio is very good compared to the competition, for cheap it does the job without being exceptional.
