Kumho Crugen HP71

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Crugen HP71 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes as well. Kumho offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

Kumho covers this tire model and size with its Road Hazard Warranty. This warranty is available for tires damaged by road hazards within the first 12 months after the purchase date, or until the first 3/32” of the tire tread wears away, whichever comes first! If this tire sustains road hazard damage (typically caused by nails, glass, or potholes) on its tread area, customers have a right to use the Road Hazard warranty for a Tire Replacement of an equivalent Kumho tire. To receive the Road Hazard warranty, customers with damaged tires must file a claim with Kumho Tires.

The tire guarantees excellent all weather traction. The symmetric tread pattern with the full depth siping pattern and the independent tread blocks upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The better grip on the road surface upgrades the year round driving safety as it doesn't allow the tire to lose its traction in various conditions. The optimized tread block placement enhances the hydroplaning prevention. The grooves and siping pattern disperse water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint, ensuring a secure wet and winter weather road gripping capability.

The model promotes high levels of driving comfort. It combines its tread design and internal structure to heighten the driving comfort levels. The structure's optimized shape and its ability to closely follow the road surface at all times enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving throughout the tire's performance. The better road contact, in this manner, decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The variable pitch phase shift of the ribbed tread design manages to lower the road noise levels. They create a sound frequency that negates the road and tread pattern at the moment they are generated. As a result, the road noise does not reach the vehicle's cabin and does not ruin the driving enjoyment of the passengers. This provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The tire is easily handled thanks to its optimal tread design. The stronger center rib and the optimal shoulder pattern keep the tire's road contact to improve the controllability and the maneuvering capability. The better road contact of the center rib increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder blocks heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, enhancing the cornering and maneuvering capability. The first-rate handling ensures a safer all weather performance.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
