Review on Kumho WinterCraft Ice WI31 195/60 R15 88T winter by Danuta Dbrowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

Rubber dimension 205 / 50R17, put on the Volvo c30. The first thing I noticed was silence, i. E. (in any case) in this car you can’t hear them at all, neither spikes nor rumble . steering responses are collected, the car does not float, possibly due to the profile. On asphalt in normal conditions without any complaints, at least for now (I'm running in tires). as they noticed, the studded tires are not at the factory (however, like most tires in general), the stud is an ordinary round one, after the purchase I immediately looked at them, they were almost planted unevenly, after a run of ~ 500 km I checked, all the studs were in place and the landing became even for everyone. Specially tested on packed snow and soft ice (Hong Kong realities) and accelerates and slows down with sensitive accelerations . if compared with the not new conti viking contact 2 . at least not worse. Purely on ice, they will probably lose to eminent Kontik and Nokia with their spikes . but the price tag is 2 times higher . I also liked the behavior on the road with snow porridge, the car does not shy away and does not pull, at least at adequate speeds for such conditions. In general, according to the first acquaintance, I can recommend it for universal use in mixed and urban use . If it’s purely snow and ice, I think it’s 7-8 points out of 10, but I think Nokia and Kontik will be better. I will add a few words after one season and 4000 km . The rubber has confirmed its excellent properties . I will notice not a single one ! the spike did not fly out, Hong Kong, with adequate operation, the machine is front-wheel drive 170l. S. (1.5 tons) . without gas to the floor on asphalt, of course. I confirm all of the above.

Pros
  • Extremely affordable price with decent quality, only China is lower. Very quiet, during normal operation without extreme, I liked the behavior on the road (Hong Kong wet asphalt) does not float, the reactions are not smeared
Cons
  • so far I haven’t found any obvious ones, especially considering the price
