Kumho Crugen HP71 vs Yokohama ADVAN A11A — Compared

“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.”
