[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Kumho Tire announced on the 22nd that it will supply OE (original equipment tires, 255/60R18 Crugen HP71) for the 5th generation version of Nissan's representative vehicle, the Pathfinder.

In terms of performance, the Crugen HP71 is designed to deliver premium performance optimized for each vehicle type.
