The chosen size was 195\/55R16, i.e. that specified for a high percentage of Ford Fiestas, Opel Corsas etc, and therefore one of the most common within the European car parc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winter tyre test<\/strong><br \/>\nAuto Bild has also commended Kumho for the performance of its WinterCraft WP52 pattern. Competing in a dedicated winter tyre test against no less than 55 rival products, the WP52 was accorded the title of Eco-Meister for not only gaining top marks for its cost over 1,000 kilometres, but achieving the joint highest mileage of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumho has outstripped 30 rival manufacturers to take fifth place overall in Auto Bild\u2019s latest all-season tyre test with its popular Solus 4S HA32 pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":33629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kumho","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
