About This Tire

The Kumho Crugen HP71 235/65R18 is an all-season touring tire, designed for crossover, SUV, and light pickup truck drivers who prioritize quiet comfort and reliable all-weather capability in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on noise reduction through Variable Pitch Technology while maintaining balanced traction performance across different weather conditions.

The tire features a five-rib symmetric tread pattern with four circumferential grooves for water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance. A rigid center rib provides on-center stability while strong shoulder blocks enhance handling response and combat irregular wear. Notched ribs, wide shoulder grooves, and siped independent tread blocks create multiple biting edges for traction in slippery conditions, including light snow. Driver feedback points to excellent dry road performance and good wet weather capability, 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 daily commuting and family transportation in varied weather conditions.
