The Kumho Crugen HT51 245/75R17 is an all-season highway tire, designed for light-duty pickup, van, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize durability and year-round capability in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on maximizing treadlife while providing reliable traction across varied weather conditions, including light snow.
The tire features a five-rib tread design with a stiff center block construction for straight-line stability, complemented by four wide circumferential zigzag grooves that create a vortex effect to enhance water evacuation and reduce hydroplaning risk. 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 strong dry performance and excellent longevity, with good wet weather capability and comfortable ride quality in daily 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 driving and daily commuting in varied weather conditions.
