Kumho Crugen HT51 235/70R17, All Weather, Highway tires.

Features and Benefits: Improved controllability; Longer tread life; Upraded braking power; Kumho Crugen HT51 TiresThe Kumho Crugen HT51 is a touring and highway terrain, all weather tire made to be mounted on passenger vehicles, SUVs and light trucks. This model has some commercial van sizes as well. It offers a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty with SUV sizes and a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with the light tucks sizes of this model. The model has great all weather traction with the tread pattern design and the all weather tire compound, that maintains its road gripping ability in winter weather road conditions as well. The tire actively resists hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from the footprint with the zigzag groove design. The better hydroplaning resistance and excellent traction ensure a safer year round performance. The tires controllability is first-rate as well. The maintained road contact is guaranteed by the symmetric tread design, which firmly grips the road surface. This stabilizes the tires structure against the driving pressure affecting it, and at the same time boosts the steerings precision and response time. The 3D siping detail decreases the braking distance by creating friction at the moment of braking and ensuring a secure braking ability. The tires reinforced structure enhances its durability and tread life. The strengthened sidewalls prevent damage to the tires structure and improve its durability greatly. This, along with the symmetric tread design that evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area, extends the tread life, as the stabilized tire prevents tread flexing, which can cause irregular wear. The result is a longer lasting tread. All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year. 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.
