The Kumho WinterCraft Ice WI31+ is a studdable winter tire designed for passenger vehicles and smaller SUVs requiring excellent traction on snow and ice-covered roads. This tire features an advanced stud design with increased stud count for maximized grip, combined with an advanced rubber compound and 3D honeycomb siping pattern that provides superior braking and handling performance.

The flexible rubber compound maintains optimal performance in cold temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Load and speed ratings vary by size, with typical ratings including load index up to 853 lbs for certain sizes and speed ratings ranging from Q to T class. The WI31+ is suitable for passenger cars, sedans, coupes, and compact SUVs seeking reliable winter weather performance.
