Kumho Wintercraft WP52

The Kumho Wintercraft WP52 winter tyre is specially designed to meet the needs of small and medium cars, offering a notable improvement over its predecessor, the WinterCraft WP51. This model stands out for its improved handling and braking, extended lifespan, and increased performance on wet surfaces and snow.

• Improved performance on wet surfaces and snow: The WP52 ensures superior handling and braking on wet surfaces and better grip on snow.
• Increased lifespan: Compared to the WinterCraft WP51, the lifespan of the WP52 is increased by 5%.
• Improved grip and braking: Thanks to a new rubber compound and a 10% increased contact surface, the WP52 reduces braking distances under all winter conditions.
• Resistance to aquaplaning: The wide and high-angle grooves of the directional tread pattern improve resistance to aquaplaning and lateral grip on wet and snowy surfaces.
• Snow-proof features: Special ridges in the grooves push away snow and stabilize grip, while the design of the central section of the tread prevents snow accumulation.
• Noise reduction: 3D elements of varying heights on the outside of the shoulder blocks contribute to reducing noise levels.
• Visual wear indicator: An hourglass-shaped symbol allows for assessing tyre wear and optimal grip on snow.

Introduced in 2022 and available for sale in Europe, the Kumho WinterCraft WP52 is suitable for vehicles such as the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Audi A3, and BMW Series 1. It combines a modern compound and a sophisticated tread design with features such as noise reduction and wear indicators, making it a preferred choice for those in search of a high-performance and safe winter tyre.
