I hate to say “for the price” but for the price…. You are not going to find a better winter tire. Let alone for an electric car on lower profiles. With a sportier drive than my vehicle is driven. 12-15000km easy.

Customer reviews
Add a reviewGood sporty winter tire, perhape not the best option for extreme cold and ice. I've travelled over 6000 KMs on these tires in urban and rural driving. Handling is great in the dry and they do well in mild winter temps and wet snow (-10 and above). Where these tires struggle is sustained snow and ice below -15. Lateral grip in particualar is limited when compared to true winter tires. Still, would buy again.
Vraiment pas adaptés aux véhicules électriques comme ma Tesla, mauvaise adhésion au sol par temps de neige et sur des sections glacées.
These have been excellent on dry, wet, and snow covered roads. Ice performance is surprisingly good. Road noise is low making them an excellent option for electric vehicles.
J’ai pleine satisfaction quant à la performance de mes pneus Kumho WinterCraft, qui se révèlent être un excellent choix pour l'hiver. Ces pneus répondre à toutes mes attentes en matière de sécurité, de confort, de bruit et de performance pour mon Mustang MachE GT Performance. Comparés aux pneus de grandes marques, les wintercraft offrent un rapport qualité/prix exceptionnel! Et ils fournissent des performances très proches aux autres marque de pneus premium, tout en étant bien plus accessibles financièrement sans sacrifier la sécurité, le confort ou la durabilité. Je recommande ces pneus.
