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.
“2023 ID4 AWD Pro S Kumho Crugen EV HP71 I replaced the original worn down (and one with a sidewall bump) Pirellis at 33k with the EV version (badges on the sidewall) of the HP71 (direct from dealer). They're more expensive than the non-EV versions and have a lower warranty. So far they're impressive: ride is softer/smoother, quieter, deep treads. Hard to tell if efficiency changed with the winter weather, but we were getting 3mi/kWh on a 34 degree day.”
“Tire wear on original 2024 KUMHO Grugen HP71 EV Full disclosure - I drive like a hyper-miling grandmother, always in ECO mode. Leased this Wind RWD 2 years ago. Original tires read: KUMHO Grugen HP71 EV 235/55 R19 101H Treadwear 500. Traction A Temperature A. Southern California. At 12k miles my tires have 3/32 tread left. These tires if purchased have a 60k or so tread wear warranty - which does not apply to tires "originally equipped". I did not check these tires when car was new. Has anyone experienced this ?”
“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.”

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.
