Tire wear is good and wet weather grip is impressive. Comfort ok. However noise, although initially ok up to 5k miles has become steadily worse. Now at around 12k it is very intrusive, particularly between 45 and 55 mph.
The tires are Cruger premium on a Evoke.
Good value but will have to investigate the increasing noise!

I use these on my Ram 1500 as my summer/fall tire. I drive the vehicle hard and they handle very well in both wet and dry. They are not a great mud tire which is obvious. On the highway, they are quiet, and I get good fuel economy. They are great on the highway in the wet. I never have issues with traction unless I am looking to kick out the rear end. They are great in the wet compared to other tires I have had. I drove them once in the snow/ice and they were alright (I use studded winter tires). I drove for the conditions, and didn't notice feeling unsettled. Overall, I would recommend them and have been happy with Kumho with other vehicles as well. I also have the less powerful 4.7L engine.

I've had the Kumho Crugen HT51 for about 30,000 miles on a 4x4 4Runner. I purchased these because in some other tire tests, they were rated close behind one of the top-scoring Michelin Defender LTX/MS, at a much lower price. They seem to be a clone of that tire.
Overall, these tires have provided good dry, wet, snow, and ice traction, and excellent fuel mileage. My 4x4 4Runner with a lift averages over 20mpg. My one complaint would be that the shoulders seem to wear a faster than the center, and they don't have full-depth cipes. Despite having a 60k mile rating, after 25-30k miles, they're already mostly bald on the shoulders and the tires are already losing some snow and ice traction.
One amazingly shocking and unexpected "pro" has been offroad performance and durability. I haven't had a true off-road or all terrain tire, but I've done some moderately intense offroading in these, which they definitely weren't made for. I was terrified, and really just crossing my fingers I didn't get a blow out on some rough high-clearance, 4WD-required jeep roads, like the Lead King Basin and the American Basin. But these tires somehow just kept trucking. I probably just got lucky, but I'm still impressed.
Would I buy these as an offroad tire? No. But if you're planning on doing 95% on-road highway and forest service road driving, and are looking for great dry, wet, snow, and ice traction, and good efficiency, from a budget tire, I would put these near the top of your list.
