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 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.

...I bough them due to their reported good wet/snow traction and they did not disappoint. Braking is also positively affected...

These replaced the stock Yokohomas that came with our SUV, a Mazda CX-9. They handle much better than the stock tires and generate less road noise. I bough them due to their reported good wet/snow traction and they did not disappoint. Braking is also positively affected. I didn't measure thread depth but after driving over 12k on them, they still look like a new tire. All in all, if you are looking for a good set of tires for an SUV in a region where wet/snow traction matters, I'd recommend these, particularly at this price point.

Love these tires, have them for about 1400 miles and the difference between these and my Toyo Cross Country is night and day, traction, wet road handling, and quietness just stood out from what I'm used to having to deal with. Tires are great !!! and I would definitely buy another set of these when the time comes.

...There was about 3-4 inches of snow on the roads when I picked the car up from having these tires put on and the tires performed admirably providing predictable and stable performance in the snow...

Just picked up these Kuhmos a couple of days ago. It was kind of a risk since these tires only came out a month ago and there was not really a lot of information on them and I could not find any reviews either. I was trying to decide between these and the Kuhmo HT51's for my Grand Cherokee. I'm glad I went with these. For starters, the performance has been great, there was about 3-4 inches of snow on the roads when I picked the car up from having these tires put on and the tires performed admirably providing predictable and stable performance in the snow. On the highway, they track true and are incredibly quiet. Over small ruts and imperfections in the road, these are noticeably quieter than my Bridgestone Ecopia's which came stock. The cornering seems to be improved as well with more grip through the corners providing more confidence to take on corners with speed. Wet performance is very good as well, I drove into work this morning at high speeds through wet roads with no signs of hydro planing whatsoever. Lastly, I really appreciate the look of these tires, they have a premium look to the exterior of them and definitely appear as an upgrade over the outgoing Ecopias.

...I will need to replace them before next winter, but in 3" of dry, slick snow today ( single digit temps 8F) they held the road well at 60 MPH. Treadwear is less than optimal, but I will gladly sacrifice treadwear over the ability to handle snowy Wisconsin winters...

First time buying an "import tire" and am thoroughly impressed by these. I will need to replace them before next winter, but in 3" of dry, slick snow today (single digit temps 8F) they held the road well at 60 MPH. Treadwear is less than optimal, but I will gladly sacrifice treadwear over the ability to handle snowy Wisconsin winters. Far superior to the Goodyear and Michelin tires I've had in the past.

...They stick to dry road like glue...

I spent a lot of time on here researching tires and reading reviews. I was almost going to go with the Perelli Scorpion Verde but the customer reviews were surprisingly bad. What sold me on these Kumhos was the rebate ($200) and the overall good reviews.

I only have a few miles on them so far but I am pleasantly surprised. They stick to dry road like glue. Wet road driving is good. They are very quiet, but I'm not even sure why this is an issue with some people. Don't people listen to music when driving?

I live in New England so I'll update after I've driven them in winter conditions. So far, highly recommend.

...During a nice on dry day these tires have enough grip to turn any vehicle into a corner monster...

These tires were put on my car around 40k miles and let me tell you I had the best 2 and half years with these tires. I’ve never got a single flat tire regardless of how many potholes I fell in. I’ve had to get at most 2 patches a tire throughout the years of using them. During a nice dry day these tires have enough grip to turn any vehicle into a corner monster. Rainy days I’ve had no issues with these tires my wheels never spun or slipped even with hard acceleration. I do have a slow vehicle but even with lower grip tires I can get some wheel spin in the rain. During the winter is probably where this tire really shines. I’ve never got stuck with these tires and it’s been flawless every winter. At most I can free myself with a shovel in my trunk if I get into deep snow that’s above 2 foot. Definitely recommend these tires if these fit your vehicle I’ve had better experience with these tires than continental, michelin , goodyear, and Bridgestone. I’ve had all the brand names on my other vehicles but nothing topped Kumho tires. Kumho is also not as pricey as Bridgestone or michilen

...Good wet/water traction, great dry traction relatively quiet (quieter than previous Michelens)...

These came up in suggestions of the tires. Put them on and noticed they are definitely worth more than paid for them. Good wet/water traction ,great dry traction relatively quiet (quieter than previous Michelens). Look pretty good on our van. I can�t attest to snow as we live in Florida. I am very pleased with these tires so far, I will update this review if anything changes going forward.

I heard some bad things about the traction and noise level of these tires but they are wrong. I put 4,000 miles on these tires and they are great. No traction issues at all. I live in Boston, MA and been using them during December snow. I am impressed for the price on these. and the thread wear is amazing. I went to Syracuse and back, then to the Bronx and back. after 4000 miles the thread is full of life and they are quiet. Worth the money

Tires wear well and are very quiet, which was important to me. Tire Rack's ability to shave single replacement tire to match those on car saved me a huge amount of money. Local repair garage wanted to sell me four new tires to replace one with unrepairable puncture. Tires had about 3/4 tread still remaining.
