Kumho WINTERCRAFT ICE Wi31 (STUDDABLE)

Installed a set in 2001 BMW 330Ci coupe. Happy with the delivery, and they leave the tire at the location I specified. Used for 2 winters. Drives in city only, with many stop-and-go, residential area, more delay for snow getting plow/clear. Driving speed is always within city limit of 30-60 km/h. The first winter, the tire performed very well in thick snow, and ice. Found the cornering grip in 1st spring while raining is not matching several of my all season tire. Its raining grip is as poor as my 7 tire old all season tire which still has 5mm thread. On second winter, the tire's snow grip is like my old 5-7mm winter tire that are 5-7 years old. The raining grip is remaining the same, so it is not improving, or degrading. Ice performance is degraded by 5 - 10% so it is still reasonable. No comment on noise as BMW's noise insulation is good, and seldom drive in highway, or long distance. I don't recommend to buy, and won't buy again. I still interested to try other Kumho all-season or winter tire.

The Kumho WINTERCRAFT ICE WI31. This winter tire is sincerely the worst-performing I've ever had in a winter tire throughout my 30 year driving history. They're nearly the same as my OEM all-seasons, minus the fact that they have better stopping distance. Ice 2/5 Deep Snow 2/5 Couldn't recommend these for FWD configurations, at least on a Jetta.

Picked these tires because they were on saie 112.xx plus, no delivery charge and have 60$ rebate. Also, kinda trusted the brand. Never had these tires or brand before. Thought give it a shot. Delivery was quick and easy got the tires after a week. They updated you through email and the day of delivery they give you a window from 9-5pm, they came end of day. Delivery guys were ok, not sure if they will just leave the tires outside w/o buzzing your doorbell. I suggest monitor your door, we did, and we asked them to put the tires inside the garage. Tires looks good dated maybe a year old xx/23 (ok with me). Pattern looks aggressive and deep. Tires are really good on snow, we been driving them since Nov3rd, got them tested on first snowstorm here in Alberta. Noise better compared to my old Altimax winter tires both on snow and dry road(+9C). Turning corners, sudden stops and accelerating from traffic lights feels really responsive and engaging. Really liking these tires. Only regret I did not get them studded, like suggested by others here (you should) Overall, really like these tires. Definitely, I will buy these tires again and it will be with QuattroTires.

Faster Delivery. Great price..

I have used these tires for the last 5 winters. They have been great. I will be buying them again. I have recommended them to friends who have also been happy their stability in snow and ice.

Excellent service. Tires delivered quickly. Great tires!

As a First time Kumho Tire buyer I'm very impressed, my job involves me driving in very harsh conditions to get to work and these tires are amazing in snow about a foot of snow on the road didn't even bug them. I didn't Go for the studs but even then on icy highways these tires provided good confidence and grip on ice and snow covered roads and negative 45° c. Weather a highly recommend these tires especially for the money and if you also have a new driver in the family these would be a great tire that won't break the bank and you'll have confidence knowing that they'll also have good grip on the road. Highly recommend. Definitely will be buying these again when it's time

These tires are reasonably low on noise. They behave well on dry and very well on wet roads. In deep snow the acceleration grip is very good and braking ability as well. They are very good at maintaining lateral stability on deep snow covered roads even at speeds above 80 km/hr. Ice traction is very good as well on both acceleration and braking. The only place I could minimally critique this tire is it could be a little better on steering response in snow. Overall a great snow and ice tire for a low to medium budget.

5 star rating because they are studdable and haven’t got into an accident yet. Drives great in winter conditions with lots of snow/ice. I live in Alberta where it will snow, rain be +20 and drop to -30 degrees Celsius in the middle of winter all within the same day so having these tires studded make all the difference on icy roads/snowy roads and sudden changing winter conditions. These tires perform really well and I will continue to buy this brand going forward. They are noisy when they are studded but that is the least of my worries. Have driven these tires for 2 years in the winter (end of October to end of April) Of course, if you drive like a moron in winter you’re going to have some issues regardless of winter tires, driving to the conditions and having these winter tires on my car makes a world of a difference and lots more confidence

I bought a set of 4 in December, they arrived in about 1 week, DOT on them was 2720, so quite fairly new. I live in Vancouver, BC. Winters here are mild, I am very satisfied with my purchase, price vs. quality. I also got a chance to drive them in a bit of snow, they performed well. I am usually a very easy going driver, I am using my car as a vehicle, takes me from here to there. Would I buy them again?! Yes, are they quiet?! Yes, but also my Audi A6 it's quite insulated. Are they everything I need from a set of tires?! Yes, to me yes, they do fit my bill, the meet my expectations.

I purchased these tires for the winter. Went through 2 snow storms, highway and city, as well as icy roads. I have a 2 dr, rear wheel drive car. Those tires made a huge difference. Highly recommend them, especially for that great price. Also recommend studding them.

Excellent in the snow and ice, would not hesitate to buy again!

The tires are loud and noisey and that is partly the reason I give them 4 out of 5. Also the tread is very aggressive and quite directional on dry road, which lowers your feul economy and can track into deep tire grooves worn into the road by other vehicles but that could also, just be the smaller tire size on my Mitsubishi. Other then that the tires make your car feel like a tank in dry, wet, and any snowy conditions. They handle well on my car 165/65/14 and give me a peice of mind I have not experienced with other tires at the same price. I would rate them above any hankook, bridgestone, momo of the same price and feel they are a better choice over the Rotalla brand offered here, which has a soft rubber that wears the tread quick on dry roads. Based on my experience I've had with this car for 4 full winter seasons and I am now experiencing my 5th winter and these are by far my favorite tires yet.

I just made a 600 km drive in extreme winter conditions which included 3 mountain passes and I can't say enough good things about my new tires! I always drive the conditions and they handled beautifully. They are also fairly smooth and quiet as far as I can tell. I have had Blizzaks before and these are comparable but found the Blizzaks only performed well for a couple of seasons. I would buy these again in a heartbeat!
