Ranked #7 of 12

The Kumho WinterCraft WP52 secured the 7th position out of 12 competitors, receiving a final rating of 'Good'. The testers praised its convincing performance on snowy tracks, offering secure handling with short braking distances on both wet and dry roads, along with a low pass-by noise. However, the tyre was noted to have average aquaplaning resistance. Overall, while it demonstrated some impressive qualities in winter conditions, there remains room for improvement in its water displacement capabilities.
