Tire A

Kumho Crugen HP71

Mixed

Community opinions on the Kumho Crugen HP71 (including EV variants) are generally mixed, primarily leaning on price and initial comfort versus longevity. Many users appreciate the affordable pricing, quiet/smooth ride, and good handling, but a significant number report faster-than-expected tread wear and occasional issues with foam lining separation or durability on heavier vehicles.

“I have Kumho Crugen HP71 on my 2022 Peemium they are great and not super expensive. I got them during the Mazda buy 3 get 1 for $1 sale at my local dealership. My Toyos were toast at 36k miles. Been driving on them for 10k miles now. No complaints.”

“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”

“Tire troubles - 19" Kumho Crugen HP71 I have a US spec 2022 Wind AWD with 23,000 miles on these Kumho tires. In my less than 9 months of ownership I've had two tires patched from slow leaks and I just had to have the foam lining removed from a tire since it separated from the inner tire wall and created massive vibrations in the steering wheel. With one of the patches my local shop pulled a stone that was less than 1/4" from the tread where it punctured the tire. Yes, it was pointy and sharp but also comically tiny. I'm I just extra special lucky or are others having issues with these tires? I really hope there are more options for our vehicles when it comes time to replace these.”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
