Good so far
I have run two sets of Firestone Destination LE 2 before going with the Kumho Crugen HT51. What I notice is the Crugen has a bit better ride over minor and bigger bumps on the road. The Crugen does feel slightly vague with minor steering inputs but tracks straight on the road. It's not an overly annoying adjustment and I've gotten used to it. The Destination LE2 always had a very linear feel with all steering input which I liked. The Crugen does seem to corner nicely once you make the bigger input it takes for making a turn. The Crugen has been better so far than the Destination LE2 in terms of not breaking loose with hard acceleration in the wet. I also notice a different, higher pitched tone to the Crugen but it fades into the background quickly. I can't speak yet to winter traction. This tire is overall very good so far. Seems to strike a nice balance. As did the Destination LE2. These aren't Continental or Michelin but seem to be a very nice tire. Hopefully they wear as well as advertised, too.
