Product description

  • Winter tyre for medium and high performance cars.
  • Optimum traction on winter roads.
  • Enhanced wet braking performance.

Designed for compact, passenger and sports cars, the Kumho WinterCraft WP71 delivers better winter performance than the WinterCraft WP51.

Winter.

Good traction on ice and snow thanks to honeycomb 3-dimensional sipes that maximise interlocking between tread blocks to form genuine anchors. The geometry of the tread design delivers excellent stability and grip when cornering.

Rain. Shorter braking distances on wet roads than its predecessor thank to a better evacuation of water through the V-shaped grooves of the directional tread.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
