Wintercraft SUV WS71 Tires

Kumho Wintercraft SUV WS71 Tires

The Kumho Wintercraft SUV WS71 is a performance and high performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes as well. The tread wear indicators along the tire’s shoulders represent the footprint’s wear manner. They visually show whether the tire is wearing in an even or irregular fashion, allowing the driver to correct issues.

The asymmetric tread design and the stronger winter compound improve the controllability. The tread pattern with the high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface with the use of extra biting edges, optimizing the ice and snow traction. The compound elements maintain the ideal rubber flexibility in winter weather situations. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions.

The Kumho Wintercraft SUV WS71 upgrades the controllability. The stabilized tread elements maintain the surface contact while the tires are in motion, which enables the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The high-density 3D siping pattern enables the tire to greatly shorten the braking distance. They generate friction at the moment of braking, boosting the ice and snow braking capability. The tire also utilizes the optimized footprint to greatly lower the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle’s cabin. This tread pattern prevents soundwaves formations from reaching the passengers during the drive, promoting a quiet and enjoyable driving experience.

ControllabilityThe constant surface contact increases the controllability and the maneuvering, upgrading the driver’s control over the vehicle.
SeasonThe winter compound and the detailed asymmetric tread design upgrade the winter weather traction and prevent hydroplaning.
Tread wearThe tread features hourglass-shaped treadwear indicators which visually portray the tread wear rate along the tire’s footprint.
