Kumho Tire Supplies 'Resonance Noise Reduction Tires' for Kia EV6

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Kumho Tire announced on the 12th that it will supply its ‘Resonance Noise Reduction Tire,’ which drastically reduces tire resonance noise, to Kia’s ‘The Kia EV6 (hereafter EV6).’

The ‘EV6’ is Kia’s first dedicated electric vehicle. Two Kumho Tire products, the all-season Crugen HP71 and Ecsta PS71 (size: 235/55R 19), will be supplied for the Kia EV6.

Both products are resonance noise reduction tires equipped with Kumho Tire’s K-Silent (sound absorption technology). The company emphasized that these products have functions suitable for electric vehicle tires, such as low rolling resistance, wear resistance, and high driving force.

These products are low-noise tires that reduce noise (resonance sound) generated by air vibrations inside the tire when the tire tread contacts the road surface by attaching polyurethane foam sound-absorbing material inside the tire.

Kim Insu, Executive Director of OE Sales at Kumho Tire, said, “We will advance together through differentiated technology and product development in line with the rapid transition to future vehicles by automakers.”
