The Kumho Crugen HT51 215/70R16 is an all-season highway tire, designed for light-duty pickup, van, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize durability and all-weather capability in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on maximizing treadlife while delivering reliable traction across varied conditions, including light snow.
The tire features a five-rib tread design with stiff center blocks for straight-line stability and enhanced dry traction, complemented by four wide circumferential zigzag grooves that create a vortex effect to improve water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance. 3D zigzag sipes provide additional biting edges for light snow traction, and the tire meets severe snow service requirements with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Driver feedback points to excellent dry performance and treadwear, with good wet traction and comfort levels that make it well-suited for daily highway use.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for SUVs and light trucks used primarily for highway commuting and family transportation in all-season conditions.
