The Kumho Crugen HT51 is a reliable all-season tire designed for light-duty pickups, vans, crossovers, and SUVs. It offers durability, a comfortable ride, and the ability to perform well in various weather conditions, including light snow. With its asymmetric tread design and specially formulated all-season compound, the Crugen HT51 provides excellent tread life. The five-rib tread pattern features a stiff center block for improved stability and enhanced dry traction. Additionally, the tire has four wide circumferential zigzag grooves, which create a vortex effect to enhance water flow and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The 3D zigzag sipes on the tire's surface provide the necessary biting edges for light snow traction. Starting from the 13th week of 2017, all Crugen HT51 tires are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, indicating that they are suitable for severe snow conditions. Tires manufactured before this date may not bear the 3PMSF symbol, but they still meet the required standards for severe snow service rating. The internal structure of the Crugen HT51 consists of a two-ply polyester cord body, which enhances ride quality and overall strength. Two wide steel belts and two spirally-wrapped nylon cord caps further improve the tire's handling, durability, and stability, particularly at highway speeds. It is important to note that although non-winter tires with the 3PMSF symbol may provide better snow traction than regular all-season tires, they still do not perform as well as dedicated winter tires in extreme weather conditions.
