“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.”

Community opinion on the Kumho Crugen HP71 (and its EV variant) is heavily mixed, largely split between appreciation for its comfortable, quiet ride and affordability compared to premium brands, versus frequent complaints about rapid tread wear, particularly on heavier electric vehicles. While many drivers praise initial grip, handling, and value, concerns persist regarding longevity, internal acoustic foam separation issues, and premature wear relative to advertised mileage warranties.
“Yet Another C40 Wheel Downsize Report I decided to join the crowd in downsizing from the factory 20" wheels to 18" Wheels: Voxx Paso Tires: Kumho Crugen EV HP71 (currently on sale for $500 for a set of 4) I was a bit worried about wheel fitment because of the large brake calipers, but they fit without issue, standard install. I've only put about 100 miles on them so far, but the ride is much more comfortable and these new tires are SO much quieter than the old tires that were installed when I bought the vehicle (CPO): Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 I don't have enough data yet to see if this will make a range improvement, but I imagine it will as they're skinnier tires and EV optimized. So far I'm impressed with the Kumho's, especially for the price they're offering. And I think these new wheels look pretty decent! Read more”
“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?”

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.
