The Kumho Crugen HT51 265/65R17 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 tread life while delivering reliable traction in both dry conditions and light snow.
The tire features a five-rib tread pattern with a stiff center block design for straight-line stability, complemented by four wide circumferential zigzag grooves that create a vortex effect for water evacuation. 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 handling and comfort levels 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.
