Product description & features

This winter tyre is engineered with a new contour tread pattern, allowing for even pressure distribution across the tyre’s contact patch.
This helps improve wet braking, dry handling, and overall tread life, making it a reliable option for varied winter driving scenarios.
The WinterCraft WP71 is available in 16-inch and 17-inch rim sized tyres.
 

Stable Cornering and Control

The WP71 uses a uniform block tread design to improve grip and driving stability during cornering, especially on slippery winter roads.
This layout enhances handling confidence at higher speeds in colder conditions.
 

Winter-Ready Traction

Honeycomb-style 3D sipes embedded in the tread blocks are key to boosting traction on snow and ice.
These sipes increase edge biting capabilities, providing greater contact with the road surface to support better braking and acceleration.

They are excellent and still have very little wear. The previous tyres were terrible, they reacted to every little line in the road and at times I thought they were dangerous. These new tyres have transformed the handling.

The grip is great, but they are very noisy. So noisy in fact that when the car went for a service the engineer thought there was a suspension fault on my car when test driving it.

Not as grippy as summer tyres when it is dry - but in snow/icy conditions they are good. Very noisy compared to the summer tyres I had, and as they are runflat the sidewalls are very stiff (the local tyre fitter commented they were the stiffest runflats he has ever fitted to a rim and even had to heat the tyres to make them more pliable)

Great in all weathers and hardly wearing at all compared to my normal summer sports tyres. Only a slight compromise in warm weather grip. The tread also looks cool as they resemble the look of rally tyres.

I bought the tyres for a trip to Bulgaria in winter conditions. I drove the car approx 4500miles with these tyres and I can say that they are great in snow. Not so great on ice and in rainy days. Great value for money as the other brands was way to expensive for a single trip. I'll have Kumho tyres for my next winter trips. They sound loud between 40mph and 70mph probably because of the winter pattern.

They perform very well in cold weather. However I haven’t had any serious snow to test them. They handle standing water extremely well but the are far noisier than summer tyres. Overall I’ve very happy to have these tyres for the winter months.

A bit more tyre noise than usual at motorway speeds but that’s only to be expected from a tyre with a very aggressive chunky tread pattern. The excellent performance in snowy conditions more than makes up for it.
