Review on Kumho WinterCraft Ice WI31 195/60 R15 88T winter by Gabriela Antoniak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am happy with everything, the product matches the description.

Ford Focus 3 car. Driving mostly in the city. My wife and I drive by car. Tires have been out for 2 seasons. Driving on asphalt is beyond praise: it is quiet, like in summer, it keeps the road well, does not scour. Stud loss statistics: Season 1 - minus 3 studs (one on 3 wheels), Season 2 - minus another 13 studs (on all four, but mostly, of course, on the front wheels), Season 3 - minus another 19! Distribution of losses after the third season: 4,5,11,15 (11 and 15 - front in the third season). We have a hill in our yard (and our entire district is a mountain), on which a variety of cars and tires have been grinding ice all winter (including those with consequences in the form of an accident). We didn’t have such a problem, we drove up the hill without acceleration. In the yards, snow is rarely cleared (and in some places they are not cleared at all), there are ruts and icy hills everywhere. During the first winter, only once the wife sat on her belly (and the rubber was not to blame for this!), In other situations, there was no need for outside help. Previous 10 winters we drove: Gislaved NF3, Hakkapeliitta 4, Nordman 4 - there is something to compare with. Kumho WI31 - I really like it, although the loss of spikes is sad.

Pros
  • Very quiet, grippy tread, studs distributed across the entire width of the tire. As a result: comfort and confident movement on any winter roads.
Cons
  • The subjective feeling that the "rowing" is rather weak, but objectively - see the comments below.
