In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin winter tyres are slightly better rated (89%) than
Kumho (63%). The first tyre test of Kumho WinterCraft WP71 was done in 2016, compared to 2020 when was the Michelin PILOT ALPIN 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2020 225/40 R18 test, where both the
WinterCraft WP71 and the
PILOT ALPIN 5 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Kumho WinterCraft WP71 has C wet grip rating, whereas 63% of Michelin PILOT ALPIN 5 has B rating.
