The Kumho WinterCraft SUV Ice WS51 is a studless winter tire designed specifically for SUVs and light trucks. It features advanced compound technology with 3D sipes and an innovative asymmetric tread design that provides excellent grip on snow and ice. The tire is M+S and 3PMSF certified for severe snow conditions. Key technologies include center directional grooves for water and slush evacuation, wide shoulder blocks that absorb road noise and reduce lateral slips, and a polymer and silica compound that improves braking performance and fuel efficiency. On wet surfaces, the tire demonstrates good hydroplaning resistance and short braking distances, while on dry pavement it offers good handling response. Load and speed ratings vary by size, ranging from 102T to 116T depending on the tire dimension.
