Top 3 Kumho WinterCraft WS71 Reviews

Given 84% while driving a Kia Motors Sorento III (UM) Diesel 2.2 CRDI (235/60 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
Excellent winter tire, and not that expensive. In cold conditions, a confident feel, superb in snow and light off roading. Barely worn after 10000km, recommended for SUV's

Given 88% while driving a Toyota Sienna (235/55 R18) on mostly motorways for 37,000 average miles
I had these tires fitted to my 3rd gen Toyota Sienna AWD and have been driving with the same vehicle for the past four years, all up I would've had these tires on for a good 30000kms over that period and switched between summer and winter tires every 6 months. For summer I ran Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV HP01.

These tires gave me the confidence to take on slush when wet and cold dry. Where I lived was typically dry during winter but could get cold (I've seen down to -21 celsius) with some good snow days. My driving was typically long sweeping roads and highways with some dodgy farm roads thrown into the mix - these tires took it all in their stride.

I was able to drive through the last cold season on the original set. Suffered a few punctures but that's more due to unavoidable road debris (nails etc.) than the tires themselves. I've added that this is an end-of-life review as they were nearing replacement but it was also when I sold the vehicle (I gave the tires to the next owner).

If I still lived in a country that would frequent sub-zero temperatures I wouldn't hesitate to buy these tires again.

Given 52% while driving a BMW 335d (225/45 R19) on mostly town for 6,000 average miles
These have been on for 2 winters, swapping them out with summer tire's each year.

The driving has been family car usage, on a mixture of motorway and town and country roads.

You knew when using them that they were designed for winter usage, functional with limitations of that design.

The reason I wanted to input the review for them was down the fact that they have only lasted 2 seasons, they have 5.3 mm tread left on the lowest level, however the side walls on 3 of them have cracked or split in several places which I did not expect to occur on a tire that has just reached 3 years old. If you have these tires please give them a regular once over.
