Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Kumho WINTERCRAFT WP72 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

What owners say
These tires use nylon cords so they flat spot very easily. They came on a car I bought used and the could not be road-force balanced to within spec. They drive alright but I just wish they were rounder. You can hear the road force variation in the tread noise as you drive down the road. They definitely wear better than the Blizzak WS90s that I had on a previous car and they probably grip better in the dry and wet as well. Snow grip was decent when they were newer but has fallen off as the tires wore out, I didn't find ice grip to ever be that great. Overall would not buy again, mainly because of how not-round they are and how easily they flat spot.
For a first time driver in southern Ontario, these tires gave me confidence to drive in deep snow days. Especially for the price these tires hold their own. For city driving, these tires provide a healthy level of grip in snow and slush and didn't ever do anything unexpected. On highways covered in Ontario snow, the WinterCraft WP72 is similarly straightforward but at higher speeds the grip level becomes a little more vague on a lane change. Nothing jarring or dangerous, and the tires do communicate the limit fairly well. I found that in icy conditions these tires give out more so than in other settings. Depending on how much load you have going into icy corners, you may find this tire doesn't give you the best indication to slow down before losing grip. The one major drawback of this tire is the noise at highway speeds. Nothing unbearable but these winters drone more than a comfy all season would. If you're looking for a dead quiet tire this isn't it but for an affordable price these are great winters.
Considering its price, I think it is a very good value. Moreover the snow grip is outstanding even with a heavy EV.
Since my car is RWD only, it tends to slip at sharp and fast corners, roundabouts especially on wet surface.
Disclaimer: The numbers I chose for each rating are with the consideration that these are a "performance studless" winter tire, not really an outright "extreme nordic" winter tire.
Overall I am entirely satisfied with these tires. Are they the best winter tires ever? No, of course not. But I've driven them through two Quebec winters so far and have not once been stuck or let down. These are fitted to a 2023 Subaru BRZ that I drive daily throughout the year, and what makes me love these tires is that while they are entirely capable in every snow/ice/slush condition I've driven them though, they still are still very much enjoyable to drive on the average winter day when the roads are clear. These are on the car from early/mid November through to early April (close to 5 months of the year) so I didn't want some horrible handling, squishy, unresponsive winter rubber that completely ruins the fun of the car. I have Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my truck, and my wife's car as well, and they are the pinnacle of winter traction, but they are pretty horrible for daily driving on clear roads. These Kumhos, on the other hand, keep the car fun to drive and offer a measure of "performance" (it's all relative on winter rubber), all while doing everything I need a winter tire to do. I don't have the exact numbers, but I've driven over 16,000 kms on them over the course of 2 winters so far and the wear-indicator (3 dots that dissappear with use) still shows all 3 dots, with the first dot just starting to fade. (And I don't drive them gently... this car isn't made to be driven gently.)
Lastly, IMO they also look great, with a nice sidewall design and great asymetric tread pattern too.
Got these tyres for my both cars. ( Mercedes CLS 4matic and Audi A7 quattro).
After approx 3000km
- very quiet
- great dry and wet grip !
- stable on mid snow
- confortable
Cant say about the wear yet.
These are great value for money.
