Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.
Speed indexThe speed index indicates the maximum approved speed.W (max. 270 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.88 (max. 560 kg)
This keeps the rubber of the Wintercraft WP52+ flexible even in cold temperatures for high traction, better stability and increased safety on snowy roads.
Wet handling and braking:
Braking:
Interlocking 3D sipes: the new tread pattern with a high density of multiple sipes increases block stiffness, ensures better grip on snow and improves handling in all winter conditions.
High-strength tread structure: the double-layer structure improves driving stability at high speeds and handling.
High-strength/ultra-light cord insert, fine-tuned tread stiffness and an enlarged contact patch guarantee outstanding driving stability.
Suitability for electric vehicles:
Tread design:
Sidewall design:
Use of high-strength carcass layers: the use of high-strength polyester threads in the construction of the tyre carcass improves stability when driving at high speeds.
Tread wear indicator: The hourglass shape of the wear indicator makes it easy to check tread wear and the remaining tyre performance in snow.
Tread reinforcement: the use of high-strength steel belts improves durability, prevents tread deformation and minimises movement while driving.
Optimal contact area: the fine-tuned contact pressure of the Wintercraft WP52+ has been developed to reduce irregular tread wear and premature abrasion of the shoulder blocks while maintaining driving comfort.
K-Sipe Control (3D sipes): Kumho Tyre's 3D SIPE technology (K SIPE CONTROL) is used to effectively transfer braking and driving forces to the road surface. This ensures optimum handling and braking performance even in emergency situations.
Kumho Tyres' unique diamond-shaped surface pattern resembles stylised snow crystals, visually implying the tyre's winter suitability. Winter suitability on snowy and wet roads is particularly emphasised by the ‘snowflake’ design motif.
Snow ejection system: the fine-tuned design in the centre of the tread reduces snow adhesion to ensure stability on snow-covered roads.
EV rubber compound: the use of an EV-specific compound has resulted in a 10% improvement in wear and a 5% reduction in rolling resistance.
Designed for high loads
EV compatible
Increased driving safety on snow-covered roads
Special rubber compound with natural oil: Kumho's special winter rubber compound, which contains sunflower oil, among other ingredients, has greater elasticity, which improves traction.
Improved handling and braking in wet conditions
Enhanced braking performance: thanks to a new, cross-linked polymer raw material with high viscosity and hysteresis, the tyre offers better grip on all road surfaces and enhanced braking performance.
‘HL’ sizes available - developed for heavy EVs. According to ETRTO, high load tyres (HL) are extra load tyres designed to carry a higher load at the same reference pressure.
What the tyre markings mean
XL
Reinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
M+S
Mud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.
3PMSF
Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.

Na 11 weken dagelijks gebruik geen echte klachten. Droog lopen ze stil, alleen de natte remafstand is wat langer. De winterprestaties zijn goed, het comfort is netjes. Gemonteerd op een Skoda Superb, gereden vooral voor woon-werkverkeer.

Kumho 225/35 R19: top marks after 4,500 km
After 11 weeks still delighted. In slushy conditions they stay stable and predictable. Traction in slush was impressive for this class. Driven on a Volvo V40, mainly on country roads. Can be chosen without hesitation.

225/35 R19: delighted after 6 weeks
Nothing to fault so far. In slushy conditions they stay stable and predictable. On snow they grip remarkably well, pulling away is never an issue. Driven on a Toyota Corolla, mainly on country roads. Value for money is spot on.

225/35 R19 : godt valg efter 2.000 km
Kumho har overbevist mig helt på min Kia Rio. Op ad bakke i sne kommer man fint af sted, ned ad bakke bremser de kontrolleret. Også ved tør kulde under nul er grebet der.

Kumho i 225/35 R19 har suttit på i 2 månader och fungerar fint. Vid isiga förhållanden ger de trygghet. Bromssträckorna på vintern är klart kortare än mina tidigare. På min Mazda 2 med blandad användning på landsvägen.
