Kumho Wintercraft WS71

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Wintercraft WS71 is a performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

Winter weather traction is guaranteed with this model. It utilizes the winter compound and the detailed, directional tread design which boost the winter weather, ice and snow grip. The high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface with the use of extra biting edges, optimizing the tire's ice- and snow-covered surface performance. The stronger compound elements allow the tire to improve the cold temperature traction, as the compound keeps the rubber flexibility. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions, avoiding hydroplaning in the process.

The directional tread design helps to increase the controllability. The center rib maintains the surface contact at all times, upgrading the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire promotes great steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The detailed shoulder block pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, boosting the cornering ability and power. The high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface, generating friction at the moment of braking. This greatly shortens the braking distance as well, promoting better performance.

The Wintercraft WS71 improves its comfort levels with the tread elements. The ideal tread design enhances the comfort levels by lowering the road noise heard during the drive. The tread design negates the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion, boosting the overall comfort levels as well. The tread reduces the road noise reaching the vehicle's cabin, ensuring a quiet driving experience.
