Review your Kumho WinterCraft WS71 >

I had these tyres 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 tyres on for a good 30000kms over that period and switched between summer and winter tyres every 6 months. For summer I ran Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV HP01.

These tyres 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 tyres 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 tyres 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 tyres to the next owner).

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

Excellent winter tyre, 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
