Which is better for highway commuting?

Both are all-season highway-terrain SUV tires with an H speed rating. The Continental has the higher treadwear grade and a low rolling resistance claim; the Kumho targets noise and vibration. Pick the Kumho to save money, the Continental for the longer warranty.

On paper the Continental: UTQG 740 and a 70,000-mile warranty versus UTQG 440 and 60,000 miles for the Kumho. Real wear depends on rotation, alignment and driving, but the Continental carries the stronger coverage.

Is the Continental worth about $48 more per tire?

If you keep the vehicle past 60,000 miles, the extra 10,000 miles of warranty and the 60-day trial can offset the difference. For a lease or a vehicle you will sell soon, the Kumho is the better value.

Kumho markets a noise-canceling tread and vibration reduction; Continental lists Comfort Ride Technology and low road noise. Neither claim is a measured figure, so judge on a test drive if noise is your priority.

Do both fit the same vehicle?

Both come in 235/65R17 with an H speed rating. The Kumho has load index 104 and the Continental 102, so check your door placard for the load index your vehicle requires.
