The Kumho Crugen HP71 225/60R18 is an all-season tire, designed for crossover, SUV, and light pickup truck drivers who prioritize a quiet, comfortable ride and reliable all-season traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on noise reduction through Variable Pitch Technology while maintaining solid wet weather performance and light snow capability.
The tire features a five-rib symmetric tread pattern with a rigid center rib for on-center feel and strong shoulders for handling response. Four circumferential grooves work with notched ribs and wide shoulder grooves to evacuate water and resist hydroplaning, while sipes and independent tread blocks provide biting edges for slippery conditions. Driver feedback points to excellent dry performance and good wet traction, with comfort levels that make it well-suited for daily driving and longer trips.
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.
