Kumho Wi32 -setti odottaa pihassa huomista vanteille laittoa. Hieman nyt alkoi pelottaa hankinta uusien testien perusteella. Testattu kahta kokoa, jotka ovat omaa 215/60R17 kokoa pienempi (205/55R16) ja isompi (235/45R18). Ison rengasmelu sai arvosanan 1/10.

2025 Friction And Studded Winter Tyre Test
The Kumho WinterCraft ice Wi32 has excellent grip for braking and accelerating on ice, though its cornering grip is weaker. It tends to understeer in fast situations but remains easy to control, and its behavior on snow is calm despite an imprecise steering feel. On asphalt, its characteristics are mediocre, and control becomes difficult during evasive maneuvers as the front tyres are prone to losing grip easily in both wet and dry conditions.

2025 Sudded, Friction And European Winter Tyre Test
The Kumho WinterCraft ice Wi32 absolutely destroys any notion of comfort with brutally high and distinctive noise levels - the stud noise is so loud and characteristic that it resembles an airplane propeller engine, suddenly making the Volvo V60 test car remarkably uncomfortable. When switched to Nordic friction Michelin X-Ice Snow afterward, nearly all road noise vanishes and the car suddenly becomes remarkably quiet, highlighting just how extreme Kumho's noise problem is. Beyond the noise disaster, Kumho also negatively affects how the car behaves on the road - the V60 becomes choppy, loses its fine directional stability, and during mild cornering, the tyre makes the car disturbingly unpredictable in its reactions. While it manages decent ice grip when pointing straight ahead, this is completely overshadowed by the comfort catastrophe. Even with a significantly lower price than competitors, the appalling noise levels and poor road manners make this tyre impossible to recommend. It represents everything that gives studded tyres a bad reputation, taken to an extreme that's simply unacceptable for modern motoring.
