From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment for the Kumho Crugen HP71 (and its EV variant) is mixed, with owners praising its affordability, comfortable ride, and quiet performance on many vehicles. However, a significant number of drivers report disappointingly rapid tread wear—particularly on heavy electric vehicles—as well as occasional noise on coarse surfaces and internal acoustic foam detachment issues.
“New Tire Woes: Trouble finding XL Load rating. Any advice? 2026 EV9 LLR with 20k miles in SoCal (3 year lease) and the Kumho Crugen HP71 EV wore very quickly despite alignment checks etc early in the lease. Note that these stock tires are 130V with XL load rasting. Most disconcerting is that despite some modest tread left, I hydroplaned on some sprinkler runoff...so I'm not confident in these tires with the upcoming El Nino. This subreddit seems to love the Michelin CrossClimate2 but they don't come in XL load rating in this size. Neither do Defenders. The two main options are: 1. **Hankook iON evo AS SUV** (OE on some EV9s) - But these are seemingly backordered at multiple tire shops. An online vendor cancelled my order despite showing in stock on the site. 2. **Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season**. **Any advice, and anyone have experience with those Pirellis?**”
“Kumho HP71 vs Continental DWS06 I was planning to get Continentals for $150 each, but then I found these Kumhos for $118 each. The Continentals have a treadwear of 560, whereas the Kumhos have a treadwear of 640. They both have A/A for traction/temp. Is it really worth the extra $128 for brand name if the cheaper ones will outlast them?”
“The HP71 are actually the OE tire for several trim/MY combinations for the Ioniq 5 and EV6 and they're decent tires. The longest lasting tire is the Defender 2, with the trade off of mediocre traction. I run the Nokian One because it's a batter balance of traction and tread wear than the defender but still quiet and very long-lasting.”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
