satisfactory
Ranked #9 of 16
The Kumho WINTERCRAFT WP52 placed 9th among 16 competitors and was awarded a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. The tyre demonstrated good performance on winter roads, with notably the highest projected mileage in its test group, minimal wear, and low fuel consumption. However, it showed weaknesses in driving comfort and handling at the limit on dry roads, along with slight weaknesses on wet pavements, and was noted for its very high weight. While it offered decent longitudinal aquaplaning resistance and braking distances on wet surfaces, handling in these conditions was only satisfactory. The tyre excelled in winter conditions, particularly in snow and ice braking and handling, showing good controllability and reserves in critical situations. Despite its strengths, the environmental aspect was downgraded due to it not reaching a good rating for efficiency, partly because of its significant weight, which still achieved a satisfactory assessment. The tyre's fuel consumption was on a good level but insufficient to fully compensate for the negative impact of its weight on its overall environmental rating.
