Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

By road tests

What owners like and dislike

The Kumho Crugen HP91 generally receives positive feedback from SUV and crossover owners as an affordable, high-performance alternative to premium tire brands. Reviewers frequently praise its reliable wet and dry grip, comfortable ride quality, and excellent value proposition, though a minority of users report concerns regarding rapid tread wear or subpar winter performance.
Pros
- Strong wet and dry traction providing high confidence
- Competitive, budget-friendly pricing compared to tier-1 premium brands
- Low road noise and enhanced ride comfort
- Stable handling and positive steering feedback on SUVs and 4x4s
Cons
- Accelerated tread wear reported by some aggressive drivers or heavy vehicle owners
- Occasional complaints regarding poor performance in deep snow or ice
- Minor instances of increased road noise or vibration for a few users
Worth knowing
- Users driving mid-size SUVs and towing heavy caravans (such as the Kia Sorento and Ford Kuga) noted stable handling and good load management.
- Owners replacing factory-fitted Pirelli or Continental tires on luxury and performance SUVs (like the Audi SQ5 and Range Rover Evoque) highlighted significant cost savings without a noticeable drop in daily driving performance.
