The KUMHO WINTERCRAFT ICE WI32 is a studdable winter tyre designed for passenger cars and city SUVs, featuring approximately 200 anti-skid studs for enhanced grip in extreme winter conditions. This winter tyre is engineered to handle harsh northern climates and icy roads through advanced construction with multiple grooves for edge density, multi-directional 3D sipes, and a revised compound formulation. The tyre delivers strong longitudinal grip for braking and acceleration on ice, though cornering grip is weaker and wet/dry asphalt performance is mediocre with a tendency for front-end grip loss. Notable weaknesses include exceptionally high noise levels from the studs and poor water evacuation, making it less suitable for high-performance driving. Load ratings range up to 108 (2205 lb) with speed ratings typically T (118 mph) in most sizes, making it suited for budget-conscious users and fleet operators in regions with severe winter conditions.
