Kumho Wintercraft WP72

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• High speed controllability
• Upgraded maneuvering

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes great winter weather traction. The tire's asymmetric tread design and winter compound increase the grip on the road surface in cold temperature winter weather. The compound offers an optimal tread rubber flexibility and keeps the tire pliable in winter situations. The asymmetric tread pattern, with the high siping density, upgrades the ice and snow grip to boost the tire's winter weather performance. The tread design's circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. These enhanced tread elements increase the tire's driving safety and grip without the use of studs to guarantee a secure performance.

The model's constant road contact enhances its controllability. The asymmetric tread design's optimized pattern upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The continuous center rib's close road contact increases the steering response time and accuracy, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This allows the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle in all winter conditions. The tread design eases the driving pressure off the tire which upgrades the high speed performance. It enables the tire to perform at its best high speed capability, without the deformation of the optimal tire shape. The better overall control and the high speed performing ability ensures a safer driving experience.

The Wintercraft WP72's maneuvering and braking capability are also upgraded. The larger outer shoulder tread pattern, with the high-density siping detail, increases the cornering capability. This pattern heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion, which promotes a safer performance and maneuvering ability. The special zigzag siping pattern boosts the braking capacity. They create friction between the tire and the road, even on ice- and snow-covered surfaces, to ensure a shortened braking distance. The upgraded controllability guarantees excellent driving security.
