The Crugen HP71 is Kumho's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of crossovers, SUVs and light duty pickup trucks looking for a quiet, luxurious ride combined with all-season capability, including light snow traction.
The all-season tread compound of the Crugen HP71 is molded into a five rib, symmetric design featuring Kumho's Variable Pitch Technology that provides a quiet and comfortable ride while also allowing for easy rotation patterns to promote even wear and longevity. A rigid center rib provides solid on-center feel and combines with strong shoulders in aiding handling and steering response while also adding stability to combat irregular wear. Notches in the ribs and wide grooves in the shoulders combine with four circumferential grooves to evacuate water from the contact patch for hydroplaning resistance, and sipes and independent tread blocks create biting edges for traction in slippery conditions.
The tire's internal structure consists of a two-ply polyester cord body for enhanced ride quality and improved strength. Two wide steel belts sit on top of the casing and are reinforced by two spirally wrapped nylon cap plies, enhancing handling, durability and stability at highway speeds.
El neumático Crugen HP71 de Kumho pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Para Toda Estación (Crossover/SUV) y fue desarrollado para conductores de utiliautos (crossovers), utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés) y picops para trabajos livianos, que buscan un andar tranquilo y de calidad, combinado a un buen desempeño durante todas las estaciones, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El compuesto de caucho para toda estación del Crugen HP71, es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con cinco segmentos y diseño simétrico, además, cuenta con la tecnología "Variable Pitch" de Kumho. Esta banda de rodamiento, proporciona un andar tranquilo y confortable, a la vez, de permitir un patrón de rotación fácil, que mejora el desgaste y aumenta la longevidad del neumático. Un segmento central rígido proporciona un sentimiento de estar centrado y se combina con hombros fuertes, para mejorar la maniobrabilidad y respuesta al girar el volante, al mismo tiempo, mejora la estabilidad y combate el desgaste irregular. Ranuras en los segmentos internos y ranuras anchas en los hombros, combinadas con cuatro canales circunferenciales, evacuan el agua del área de contacto con la carretera, para así, aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Bloques independientes y pequeñas ranuras sobre los mismos, crean bordes adherentes para aumentar la tracción sobre superficies resbalosas.
La estructura interna del Crugen HP71cuenta con un cuerpo de dos capas de poliéster para mejorar la calidad del andar y fortaleza del neumático. Dos correas anchas de acero se encuentran arriba de la estructura y son reforzadas por dos capas de nailon envuelto en espiral, para mejorar la maniobrabilidad, durabilidad y estabilidad a velocidades elevadas.

...Tire braked well under performance tested stops, did not break loose and was still VERY grippy...abs only went on once when turning into hard braking on a sandy area. Cornered well, side wall is still quite stiff like video and reviews say...
Went up one size. Saved thousands. Fit perfectly, look even better than stock on my upgrade Audi Avante 22X10.5" wheels. No rubbing. Still .5" from top control arm. Not so big I can tell gearing differences / only .5" taller. 1" wider fits better and does not look stretched like the 285's did on this 1/2" bigger wheel. Tire braked well under performance tested stops, did not break loose and was still VERY grippy.....abs only went on once when turning into hard braking on a sandy area. Cornered well, side wall is still quite stiff like video and reviews say, noise was way lower than my snows on the orig rims. They are good snows too / just hum. Acceleration was normal. The look is awesome. Bigger, wider, looks aggressive without being too much.

Inexpensive but comfortable tires. These are reasonably quiet for the price, with no noticeable performance deficits. Since I drive an electric vehicle, I haven't experiences any significant change in efficiency when moving from the OEM tires to this tire. Overall they seem to be holding up reasonably well and I would definitely consider purchasing again when the time comes.

...Others in the group charge double and give you 1/2 the treadwear...
Great tire, quiet, I have this on two Audis and will purchase again. The value is EXTREMELY good. Others in the group charge double and give you 1/2 the treadwear. I'm sure there are tradeoffs, but this tire will be good for 90% of those out there. It is a smooth, nice riding tire with good steering and cornering too. Good at high speeds as well.
