In owners' own words

Verbatim excerpts from complaints filed with NHTSA about Kumho Crugen Premium. Reports are published by NHTSA as filed and are lightly cleaned here only to remove intake codes.

I was driving when I noticed a light on as I turned the car on as I was driving I saw 4 numbers showing which were the numbers for each tire but the one that was going down at a fast speed was the tire on the driver front tire. I had no blow out,I had nothing for tire to go flat on me. When I was going to put on the spare that the card had I was not able to do that because I didn't have a jack or anything to change the tire. I had to get a used tire at a tire shop that cost me $60. And noticed that the number is not the same as my 3 other one's

Kumho crugen premium: what the numbers tell you

Manufacturer treadwear data for the Crugen Premium is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.

Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the Crugen Premium is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.

The Kumho Crugen Premium has been part of Kumho's catalog since its introduction, and remains a current-production model.
