Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Kumho WINTERCRAFT WP71 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
Just normal.
First thing about this tyre you notice is the noise. It is the loudest tyre (from 0 to 60 km/h) ever to me. It changes the whole driving feeling. Comfort is ok, wear is great for now. Drove them on fresh snow uphill to mountain, all good. On the other hand, on cold and wet it is not good. ABS on downhill breaking turns on to much. Would not buy again.
It gets too much road noise. I have become disinclined to drive the car since the day I installed it. The only good thing is that it brakes well. Other than that, the car slides horizontally on corners. Definitely a tire I will not buy again.
Surprisingly good in the snow we had recently, they dealt with it flawlessly compared to GoodYears on my Saab which were terrible in comparison. They are fairly good in the wet as well, but their weakness is definitely dry roads. Handling feels vague compared to my previous tyres on cornering.
Quite noisy but these tyres weren't designed for extreme comfort, they were designed for a job which they do satisfactorily. I'd buy them again if I needed a cheaper set of winter tyres for occasional or seasonal use. Wouldn't keep them fitted all the time. Can't yet comment on wear.
The price of the tyre really was good and the snow reviews got me to get this tyre due to living in the mountains. The snow traction actually turned out to be really good, including braking comparable to the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 for which I ultimately changed to. The tyre really shocked me on how bad it was on the wet, the understeer was really bad and never felt comfortable / safe driving in the wet. Dry handling and feedback was nothing great, the grip did let go pretty quickly on fast short bends. Wear was a plus side, did around 20K Kilometers and the tread depth was still good. Noise levels are normall for a winter tyre and the comfort levels also pretty normal for a 55 aspect ratio tyre.
