General Grabber A/T vs Kumho Crugen HP71 — Compared

“Kumho Crugen HP71 vs HP71 EV? Ended up with a screw in the shoulder of my rear driver side tire, leaking around 1PSI per hour, most likely not in a repairable spot. My current tires are about a year old, have around 13k miles on them, and tread wear on them is between 7/32 and 8/32. Purchased a used (no plugs or patched/never repaired) tire with 8/32 tread remaining thinking it would be a direct swap but once it got here I realized that the original tires are Kumho Crugen HP71 EV tires as opposed to this one being a Kumho Crugen HP71 (both 235/55/r19/101H). The car is an AWD Kia EV 6, so separate motors for front axel and rear axel but more simple setup than a fancy ICE AWD. At the rate of wear on these I probably have around 1.5-2 years (~20k miles) remaining on the original three tires before they will need to be replaced anyways. Is the difference between the regular HP71 and HP71 EV so different that I can't use this tire for a year? I believe the EV version has some foam in it to reduce noise, and supposedly it has 24% lower rolling resistance but it seems like that marketing is based on a generic tire and not necessarily the non-EV HP71 tire. Thanks!”

“I need a new tire, right? 215/55R18 Kumho Crugen HP71 tire showing cords on the outer sidewall. I need a new tire, right? Edit: I’m thinking about replacing just this one tire, 2023 CX-30 AWD. Tires were new Oct 2025 and have 7mm tread depth left. According to the spec sheet, this new tire would have 7.9mm of depth. Can I get away with one tire? Edit 2: Existing vs new tires would have ~1mm of difference in tread depth Read more”

“2026 Pathfinder Tires: 255/60R18 Kumho Crugen HP71 vs 255/50R20 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra I think I settled on a configuration that suits our needs but it comes with the upgraded 255/50R20 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires/rims. The 20" wheels look great but I think the 18" Kumho's with the taller side will be better for the sometimes rough roads (potholes, large bumps, torn up city streets) we drive and for lighter towing. I highly doubt the dealer will exchange them for me but first I wanted to ask if I'm just overthinking this or should I try to trade down for the 18s. For reference I'm completely satisfied driving an outback with 225/60R18 Yokohama Avid GT (controlled, planted) and not happy with a highlander with 235/65R18 (too soft, uncontrolled). I get that these are different vehicles, suspensions, center of gravity, but hopefully it gives you a better idea. Thanks Edit: clarification on towing: fiberglass trailer like Scamp/Casita”
