Kumho Tyres CRUGEN PREMIUM KL33 Reviews

I use the jeep to tow a 3t caravan, could not workout why the car kept wandering all over the road with or without the van, was that bad was going to sell jeep, had wheel alignment done little help, moved tyres to back of car which had kumho crugren 51 to front instant change jeep steered as new.Do not use these tyres dangerous. I have used Kumho tyres for over ten years but never again.

Second set still going strong at 60,000 km's, replaced first set at 58,000 km's due to a road hazard damaged pair and still going strong on 2nd set even tho car is now 5 yrs old and at end of lease. Looking to upgrade to Continental PremiumContact6 as newer Kia models fitted with these and reviews say quieter ride + better high speed corners - shall write a review. Need to spend leftover lease$$ so can afford to stack the new ones until these go bare'ish. Truisted local tyre shop looked at the Kumho tyres today and said still plenty of wear, looks like will be 75,000+ kms - outstanding value. Even though they were a Michelin dealer they were happy to recommend Conti's due to price difference and said the Kumho's should be mid-price compared to competitors, so pretty good value and I'll have no hesitation to switch back if the Conti's don't stack up for ride + wear. Lots of highway driving may have extended life but feel good on the car. I read in another review they squash a bit on high speed corners & Conti's are better in that regard, so can't wait to find out in 6-12 months time, as that's a lot of my driving. These are a no-risk purchase: never had a braking issue when had to stomp on them on a few rare occasions, v good in the wet at speed, in corners and when water across road. Having second thoughts about those Conti's!!

2 sets on a 2016 Outback that spent most of its time on highway but plenty of holiday trips loaded, trailer or mtb bike rack, kids, dogs, dirt roads and combinations of those. Awesome tyres. Great value great, great wear, good grip until well into territory where the passengers complained a lot more than the tyres. No flats, even wear, zero complaints. Highly recommend.

Bought the car with Kumho Crugen Premiums. Ticked over 75,000kms- only now requiring replacement. Highly recommend

Great all round tyre. Quiet, long-lasting and reliable in all weather.

The tyres work very well for long highway trips. Less good on winding roads but that may also be a function of the vehicle suspension. They are reasonably quiet & have shown even wear (one wheel balance / rotate). I am looking to buy replacement tyres & will consider using Kumho based own price.

The tyre sides are not well protected and can easily puncture due to thin siding thickness. The tyres are a bit pricy compared with other brands of the same size.

Got these OEM on my Sorento . Has worked very well. Happy with performance. Only reason I'm replacing is one of the tyres scraped the curb a while back and is leaking air, so I might just change all four since its nearing replacement time. Might get about 70K in total if I left them on. Con- Bit on the pricey side, but worth it I guess.

Adequate but nothing to write home about

WE bought 4 x new KL33s as a set to replace the OEM KL21s. They have had a long life and rode better than the KL21s. Towards the end of their life they have become quite noisy. The reason we would NEVER EVER buy these tyres again and would never recommend them is that we have had 3 out of the 4 split the inside tyre walls, so much so that air leaks out and they have gone flat. After the tyre pressure sensors had gone off, you could hear the air leaking out of the splits after pulling over. The tyres are always run at 36 psi, highway use only, rotated every 10,000kms and no extended towing, no offroad use etc. Initially we had 2 tyres split at 50% wear. Khumo would only contribute 50% of the cost of 2 new tyres, excluding fitting and balancing. At that time we bought 4 x new KL33s and decided to keep 2 of the unsplit 50% worn tyres for spare. Effectively Kuhmo paid for 1 new tyre, excluding fitting and balancing, and we paid for the other 3. After staking one of the new tyres, we reused one of the spare ones that we kept. Only last week, this one split as well, so we now used the last spare tyre that we had kept. Hopefully it will last till the end of the other tyre's life where we will replace them all. NEVER EVER Kuhmo again. The split side walls would have to be seen to be believed and are probably lucky that the tyres just didn't blow out. Thanks to tyre pressure monitors, probably saved an accident. It was probably just a bad batch, but Kuhmo should have just given us 4 new tyres as a peace of mind gesture, but no. In summary, 3 out 4 tyres have split and fingers crossed on the last one.

Replaced original Under Spec Kumho kl21 tyres with these. One step up in load rating, heavier side wall incorporating rim protection, but no real difference in ride or noise. Ideally rotate every 10,000kms & with my type of rural use, mainly on blacktop highway not towing, over 60,000kms easy.
