The Kumho Crugen HP72 is a crossover and SUV touring all-season tire engineered to deliver a refined blend of year-round traction, comfortable ride quality, and long-lasting tread life. As the evolution of the acclaimed Crugen HP71 lineup, the HP72 builds on a proven platform with refinements to its all-season compound and tread architecture — making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking confident performance in dry, wet, and light winter conditions.

This 225/55R18 XL size carries an Extra Load (XL / Reinforced) construction rating with a 102V service description, supporting higher load capacities and speeds up to 149 mph — well suited for heavier crossovers and SUVs that demand a reinforced tire.

• Symmetric Tread Design with Variable Pitch Technology: Reduces road noise and enables multiple rotation patterns to promote even, long-lasting wear
• Rigid Center Rib: Delivers solid on-center steering feel, improved handling response, and enhanced stability at highway speeds
• Four Wide Circumferential Grooves: Channel water away from the contact patch efficiently, reducing hydroplaning risk in wet conditions
• Full-Depth Sipes and Independent Tread Blocks: Create additional biting edges for improved traction on wet roads and light snow
• Strong Shoulder Blocks: Support cornering stability and help combat irregular tread wear
• Extra Load (XL) Construction: Reinforced sidewall and casing for enhanced load-carrying capability compared to standard load tires in this size
