Latest Tyre Test Results

2023 Tyre Reviews Winter Tyre Test - 9th of 13 tyres

• 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.

2023 ADAC 17 inch Winter Tyre Test - 9th of 15 tyres

• Positive - Good properties on winter roads, highest predicted mileage in the test, low abrasion, low fuel consumption.
• Negative - Weaknesses in driving comfort and behavior at the limit on dry roads, slight weaknesses on wet roads, very high tire weight.
• Overall - The Kumho WINTERCRAFT WP52 tyre provides only satisfactory steering feedback and precision on dry roads, requiring occasional corrections due to its elastic response. It tends to oversteer during dynamic maneuvers, but its above-average braking distance earns it a good grade. On wet roads, the tyre excels in braking and longitudinal aquaplaning but falls short in lateral aquaplaning and handling. On winter roads, it performs well, particularly in snow and ice braking, and offers good controllability in handling. However, it narrowly misses a good rating in snow traction. Environmentally, the tyre has the highest predicted mileage in the test and good abrasion ratings but falls short in efficiency due to its above-average weight, despite good fuel consumption.

• Negative - Limited aquaplaning safety, moderate lateral guidance in wet conditions.
• Overall - Good.
