About the Kumho WinterCraft WP72

Winter grip engineered for the road ahead.

Best forSedan and coupe drivers who need a dedicated seasonal tire for reliable traction and braking in cold, snowy, and icy conditions.

The Kumho WinterCraft WP72 is a dedicated winter tire built for coupes and sedans that need reliable grip when temperatures drop. Its asymmetrical tread design delivers confident traction, responsive handling, and solid braking on snow, slush, and ice. This is a seasonal tire intended for cold-weather use only — not a year-round solution.

An asymmetrical tread layout pairs with a cold-weather rubber compound that stays pliable in freezing temperatures, maintaining contact and grip where a conventional compound would stiffen. Three-dimensional sipes bite into packed snow and ice to sharpen braking and cornering response, while wide, angled grooves channel water and slush away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The tread pattern is also computer-optimized to keep road noise and vibration in check.

Questions about this tire

What kind of winter conditions is the WinterCraft WP72 designed to handle?

The WP72 is built for moderate to severe winter weather, including snow, slush, and ice. Its flexible compound, 3D sipes, and grooved tread work together to provide traction and braking confidence in those conditions. Note that it does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so shoppers facing the most extreme alpine environments may want to compare it against 3PMSF-rated options.

Can I use the WinterCraft WP72 all year long?

No — this is a seasonal winter tire and should be removed once temperatures consistently climb above 45°F. The same soft compound that keeps the tire grippy in the cold will wear prematurely in warm weather. Plan to swap back to an all-season or summer tire each spring.

Is the WinterCraft WP72 a directional tire?

No, it uses an asymmetrical rather than directional tread pattern. That means the tire has a designated inboard and outboard side that must be respected at mounting, but it can be rotated freely between axle positions — giving you more rotation options than a directional design would allow.

Can the WinterCraft WP72 be studded for extra ice traction?

No, the WP72 is a studless winter tire and is not designed to accept metal studs. It relies on its 3D sipes, angled grooves, and cold-weather compound to deliver ice and snow traction without studs.

Where are WinterCraft WP72 tires manufactured?

Kumho produces the WinterCraft WP72 at facilities in South Korea, Vietnam, and the United States. The specific manufacturing origin can vary by size and production run.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
