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.
“Tesla model y tire HP71 crugen on tirerack is offering $80 rebate per tire.”
“That is a crazy good price - The TA91 is low $200s wholesale! (Tire shop pricing). And $279.30 retail. (Tire Rack) Grab them while you can. Sometimes Wal Mart beats any price I can get when they're blowing out a specific tire. FWIW we run the Kumho HP71 EV (OE tire) on our EV9 and it's a super quiet tire. I bought it again for the Spring now that the car is actually aligned and won't burn through them.”
“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.
