Top 3 Kumho Crugen HP91 Reviews
These tires are garbage! I do not drive the vehicle alot but i do drive almost every day. makes no sense that these tires,which Kumho refers to as premium tires would wear out so quickly. Kumho tires are inferior and garbage! do not purchase a vehicle with these tires on it. you will be replacing tires quickly. Pay no attention to the fact that these are advertised with a 65,000 mile warranty. does not mean a thing. They might last 25,000 miles if you are lucky.
Latest Kumho Crugen HP91 Reviews
These grip extremely well in the wet and dry, safety comes first for me and I've always been impressed with Kumho bang for buck.
In my opinion, the increase in price to go for Pirelli or Michelin is not worth it, I've had them and they're only about 15% better for 2x the cost. Sometimes not even better at all.
Turn in with wet weather is very good, I was actually surprised when my wife attached a round about pretty fast, I was expecting understeer on the front end but they're perfect. Very hard to make them spin in wet or dry weather, even with my Diesel which will spin Eco tides with ease.
Definitely buying again.
GRIP: DRY: Average, Not good as KU39s, but they are safe enough.
WET: Average. Not good as KU39s, but safe enough.
BRAKING: DRY: Good,
WET: Good.
WEAR: Very good. Expected life is around 35000 miles. I have driven around 6000 kms in Ukrainian roads. They have extreme potholes and bumps, and my car has faced them frequently. My left front suspension has been broken but my tires and rims did not! I have used them with 36 to 40 psi pressures for my front tires (BMW recommends 36 psi for fully loaded car) taking into account 3 psi pressure loss per month and my monthly tire pressure check schedule. (Overpressure: Max Fuel economy, Acceptable grip, Recommended pressure: Normal Fuel economy, Max Grip, Low pressure: Low Fuel economy, unacceptable grip and wear)
FUEL ECONOMY: They are economic whenever you use them high pressures like I have told above.
BUY AGAIN: May be but, I priorly prefer Kumho KU39 or Hankook S1Evo if I can find the related measure. Because, their feedback and comfort better marginally.
I have marked these down for wear based on previous experience but will update my rating in time if required.
