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.

Kumho Crugen HP71The 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.

Kumho Crugen HP71 Reviews

Owners report excellent comfort with smooth ride quality and low noise levels, supported by strong scores (7-10). Treadwear receives positive feedback overall, though a small number report faster wear than expected. Winter traction performs well in snow and slush (7-10 range common), with a few noting reduced grip on ice. Wet traction shines with consistent 8-10 ratings for hydroplaning resistance and confident handling in rain. Dry traction stands out as a top strength, earning near-perfect scores (9-10) for responsive steering and stable cornering. As a Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire, it delivers balanced year-round performance, with most drivers praising its capability across typical driving conditions.

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.
