I replaced Continental with Kumho Crugen HP91 3 years ago. I have covered about 40,000 km and I am very happy with the tires. Very reliable, non-slip, good braking, very good tires for a moderate price, on a par with premium competitors. By the way, I drive a KIA Sorento, and the tires are 255/50 R19.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Kia Motors Sorento EX 2.5 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I expect much noise as a/t tires, but they are not noise. Dry grip on dry roads are very good, on wet also for a/t tire. If you need to combine road and off road performance, i think this is the choice. Of course this is not tire for extreme off road, or sport tire for road, you need to know limits here. Price is good for what you get. I will buy it again.
Absolutely wonderful on wet and dry roads, it is definitely not looking for seasonal tires, summer / winter tires. Mud performance 70%, snow 75%, wet / dry ground 85-90%
Very good performance on wet and dry. Although for rain Cooper Zeon 4XS Sport is unbeatable. I have them for summer season and I use them till temperature is above 5°C. Weathermaster is excellent on snow and ice. One of the best tires for snow that I tried. Last winter I used them on temperature -15°C and they performed great. Because of that there is small downside on fuel usage and noise. They are little bit louder than my old tyers, but my opinion is that it shouldn't deal breaker for decision to buy these tires. Regarding wear, it's early to say because I did around 4000 miles.
Overall very good tire, specially for snow conditions.
Overall very good tire, specially for snow conditions.
Excellent tire, very good grip on dry, excellent grip on wet. The best rain tire (of course I'm talking about conditions where the temperature is above 3-4 ° C) I've ever used. I used it in conditions up to -5 ° C, of course without snow, they still showed very good performance. As for comfort and noise, the tire I have on the vehicle is very good. The only drawback seems to me a little bit faster wear. Before these tires had Hankook Dynapro HP and I crossed nearly 30,000 miles with them. I think that Zeon will not achieve this result.
I'm sorry if there are errors in the terms, English is not my native language.

Driven 70.000 km om these. Very good in snow. Have bought two sets. 20 % with horsetrailer.
no problems at all in all respects. i deal in tires and can get whatever i want but i thought id try these out.
got over 60.000kms out of a set(although i do swap them back to front, keep an eye on pressures and balancing)
bought another set as they seem to be good alrounders for this car.
