Our take

The Kumho Crugen KL33 is a solid choice for highway all-season truck tire buyers who value treadlife and dry grip. Its 60,000-mile warranty aligns well with the category average, offering peace of mind for those clocking high mileage. The dry grip and handling scores of 8.5 are particularly strong, making it a reliable performer on dry roads. In the highway all-season category, treadlife is paramount, and the KL33's warranty meets expectations, though its UTQG treadwear rating of 600 is about average compared to the category average of 625. This could mean wear in line with some rivals, such as the Firestone Destination LE3, which boasts a higher UTQG rating. Comfort and noise are average, which might not appeal to those prioritizing a quieter ride. When compared to competitors like the Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 and Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056, the KL33 stands out for handling and dry grip but may not fall short in longevity due to its treadwear rating being in line with the average. If long-term durability is a key concern, consider the Firestone Destination LE3 for potentially longer-lasting performance. Skip the KL33 if you're looking for a tire with a higher treadwear rating for extended durability. Instead, consider options with higher UTQG ratings for better long-term value.

Pros

  • Treadlife is strong with a 60,000-mile warranty, aligning closely with the category average of 61,048 miles.
  • Dry grip score of 8.5 exceeds the category average of 7.7, providing reliable performance on dry roads.
  • Handling is a highlight with an 8.5 score, making it responsive for a highway all-season truck tire.

Cons

  • The lower UTQG treadwear rating of 600 may lead to wear in line with some competitors, impacting long-term value.
  • The treadwear rating of 600 is about average compared to the category average of 625, indicating potential for wear in line with some competitors.
  • Comfort and noise scores are average at 6.5, which might not satisfy those seeking a quieter ride.
  • The Firestone Destination LE3 offers a higher UTQG treadwear rating, which could imply longer-lasting performance.
