Certified with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, WinterCraft tyres meet stringent standards for severe winter conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Auto Bild evaluated 51 winter tyres from leading brands available in the European market, assessing key performance criteria such as handling and braking on snowy, dry, and wet surfaces. Kumho\u2019s new alpine winter tyre, the WinterCraft WP52+, earned high praise for its exceptional driving performance and stability across all road conditions, securing third place overall and the top-tier \u201cExemplary\u201d rating.<\/p>\n<p>For motorists seeking a year-round solution, Kumho\u2019s Solus HA32 offers assured performance across varied conditions. Its directional tread pattern improves water evacuation on wet roads, while dense sipes generate additional bite and stability in cold temperatures. The HA32 has become increasingly popular with drivers demanding balanced performance and confidence all year round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we move further into 2026, Kumho\u2019s range will continue to be seen as offering compelling products for the full year, with the highly regarded ECSTA Sport and ECSTA Sport S summer tyres offering excellent performance, as validated by independent tests, with attractive economics for the retailer,\u201d Lyons added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumho Tyre continues to offer tyre dealers an ever-improving offer combining an excellent range of easy-to-sell, dependable, and economically attractive tyres with service that sets every retailer up to delight their customers every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":41271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,1046,1],"tags":[794],"class_list":["post-41270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kumho","category-most-read","category-news","tag-kumho"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
