Tyre reviews Kumho Wintercraft WI32. Page 1 2163

After installation, a sidewall bulge (so-called hernia) was found on one of the tires. At the same time, this tire did not make a single full rotation, being mounted on the car's wheel disc. On a deflated tire, this defect is difficult to detect. After contacting the warranty department, I was offered to bring the tire for expertise to the nearest specified address, which I did. Now I'm forced to move around on three new tires, the fourth one is bald.

Instead of exchanging the defective product for a new one, Mosavtoshina company took the tire for examination. At the same time, the cost of delivery to the reception point is not taken into account, nor the cost of tire mounting services, considering that now one wheel has been assembled and disassembled an additional 2 times + balancing 2 times.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY (MOSAVTOSHINA). ATTITUDE TO THE CUSTOMER IS LIKE....

IN GENERAL, THERE IS NO SUCH ATTITUDE.

The tire is very soft. I changed my wheels when the weather was warm and on turns, it felt like it was going to slip off the rims. The noise level in this weather was very high. However, now that it's steadily below zero, with snow and ice, it performs excellently

I don't regret the purchase. Of course, on ice I do go into a skid, but it's manageable))) Everything else is fine. It's noisy like an airplane on smooth asphalt covered with a layer of ice, but I was warned about this, and anyway, it's all the same to me! I started using them when it was already really winter, so I can't say anything about the autumn-spring seasons, and besides, for those periods I'll be using my old winter tires!

I've driven 6000km.
I'm involved in tire sales myself, and I took the new KUMHO tire for a test.
I can compare it to HANKOOK 429.
They are quieter than HANKOOK after running-in. I don't understand who says they're noisy?! The sound of the studs can only be heard at temperatures above +7°C. At temperatures below 7°C, and the colder it gets, the quieter they are.
I've driven 600km on ice. It handles icy ruts well and doesn't throw the car around.
Braking is excellent.
Handling on dry and wet roads is on par.
On snow, it's worse than HANKOOK, but it can handle shallow snow without any issues.
In short, as someone who has been working with tires for 10 years, I can say that KUMHO has finally made an excellent winter tire model.
The price is very cool. The tire is cool!
I recommend it!

For its price, it's really worthy tires!
We had a real winter this year (Belgorod)
I live in a private sector, I go out at 6 am.
Not always clean at this time. Confidently after any snowfall. On ice, too, without complaints.
Minus - a bit noisy. But not critical.

Not bad tires in terms of their characteristics. Very noisy on asphalt!

The tire is excellent, I'm very satisfied, except for one thing... It's noisy!!! Although I read about this in reviews and was prepared for it. They say it gets better after 5000km of mileage) we'll see)

The tires are not bad, especially for their price.
Longitudinal traction on snow/ice is good, brakes and accelerates fairly well. Lateral traction is not as confident, in a turn, skidding starts earlier than I would like. At speed, it behaves predictably, at least up to 160, haven't tried beyond that.
It's no noisier than any other studded tire, up to 80 km/h there's no discomfort, then on bare asphalt a hum starts, like with any winter tire.
The sidewall is very soft and very bulging. When driving over rails and small irregularities, it provides comfort, but handling suffers.
Over the season, all the studs are in place, even on the driving axle, even with occasional sideways skids, I'm very pleasantly surprised.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the tires, we'll see how long they last.

Excellent tire, I never regret choosing this tire. Over 20,000 km, not a single stud has come off. It handles the road perfectly, and in my opinion, it's not a noisy tire.

The tires met expectations, one minus is purely visual on the original 18-inch disc Michelin summer stands flush with the disc (in the 1st photo on the left, summer Michelin on the right, Kumho winter in size 226/40, and both), but Kumho winter in the same size is 0.3 cm narrower, which means the disc protrudes, and in winter it's not convenient at all. After the first winter, all 4 discs were in the curb due to ice and snowdrifts, it feels like the tires are a few percent smaller in this model, or the tread is not deep enough, which is why the disc protrudes and is not recessed flush.
