About This Tire

The Kumho Crugen HP71 235/65R17 is an all-season tire, designed for crossover, SUV, and light pickup truck drivers who prioritize quiet comfort and reliable all-weather traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on noise reduction through Variable Pitch Technology while maintaining balanced wet and dry performance.

The tire features a five-rib symmetric tread pattern with four circumferential grooves for water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance. A rigid center rib provides solid on-center feel, while strong shoulders enhance handling and steering response. Notched ribs, wide shoulder grooves, and siped tread blocks create biting edges for traction in slippery conditions, including light snow. Driver feedback points to excellent dry handling and good wet performance, with comfort levels that make it well-suited for daily driving.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for crossovers and SUVs used primarily for highway commuting and family transportation in varied weather conditions.
