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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality doesn`t fit my expectations, I won`t buy it again.

I chose this particular model solely on the basis of reviews on the Internet, not every tire with such a price has a rating of 4.5. Yesterday, 01/12/2022, there was a heavy snowfall in Hong Kong and the region, as a result of which it was not possible to leave the yard, even along a well-cleared (though not to the ground) clearing. During the operation (since November 2022 ~ 2022 km) I really didn’t lose a single spike, although I repeatedly, through negligence, got under way with slippage and generally had to tear away, but I’m not like that, life is like that . And about the handling on snowy or icy road: SILENT HORROR! Although why is it quiet, for half a winter I made so many bricks that it was enough for a small house, in other words, on a slippery road the car slows down disgustingly, even at a speed of 40 km / h ! Perhaps with spikes arranged using this technology, this rubber is suitable for heavier cars, but my Kia RIO on it just floats on a slippery road, and it floats where it wants to, and not where I need to .

Pros
  • More or less reasonable price. Not noisy, apparently this effect is achieved by a deep-set spike, although this is more of a disadvantage, see below. Balanced at 0 quickly in a proven tire center.
Cons
  • On loose, high snow, rowing is poor, although judging by the profile it should be better. Due to the fact that the spikes are deeply planted, poor grip on ice.
