For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Volkswagen Golf mk5 · 205/55 R16 · 28 968 km
★★★★☆

Very good tyre for snow. Good at dry and wet cornering. Not good at wet braking, distance of braking is longer but tyre is good for controlling that distance if you put breaking pad harder when you got to lower speed it will not slide in tricky situations.

Audi A4 1.8T Quattro · 225/50 R17 · 8 047 km
★★★★☆

Fitted these tyres late 2023. The price was good and the reviews were OK. After one very mild winter I can say that these tyres are not perfect but they don't disappoint.
Dry grip is good, wet grip is also ok. Under braking the car is predictable and stable. Didn't experience any aquaplanning at all.
They're very resistant to wear, after about 8000km they appear good as new, but time will tell how long they last.
Grip on snow is mediocre but combined with the AWD the car managed everything I threw at it, from 20cm of fresh snow to awfully wet sludge on a dirt road, they got me through.
They're very comfortable over potholes, a bit noisy but that's expected from an aggressive tyre pattern, they're structurally strong although a bit heavy (tyre fitter told me it's the heaviest he had at that size) and they increased fuel consumption slightly. They're not sporty but they're not meant to be, so I won't be commenting on that.
The Pirelli Sottozero 3 I had before were a bit better in every way but the price on the Kumho's makes them worth it.

Tesla Model 3 LR · 225/45 R18 · 40 234 km
★★★☆☆

25,000km already done with these wp52s, they are generally good but a slight feeling of vagueness in terms of grip in the wet, in the dry you can feel the tires working in the turns, always this feeling a little vague. On the snow the traction is good, it does the job.
The tires consume a little more than summer tires, and they are of course a little noisier.
But the price-performance ratio is very good compared to the competition, for cheap it does the job without being exceptional.

Good dry handling and traction, average wet and below expectations on snow as for a winter tyre.
Noise depends a lot on tyre pressure

I have WP52 on my A3 Sportback. Very good tyre, excellent grip on snow, and dry roads, satisfy grip on wet road.
