Kumho Tire Launches New Products Including ‘KXA17’ for Large Cargo Front Wheels

Kumho Tire has launched four new products in the domestic market, including the ‘KXA17’ for tractors and cargo vehicles featuring a new concept intelligent design, and the ‘KCA31’ equipped with a platform and pattern for electric buses.

The new product ‘KXA17’ (12R22.5) is a front tire for medium- and long-distance tractors and cargo vehicles, offering excellent performance by adopting a new concept intelligent pattern technology that delivers optimal performance according to wear rate requirements.

With the completion of domestic and international patent applications for RCB (Rigidly Connected Bridge) technology and a three-dimensional siping design, mileage and fuel efficiency have been improved.

It also incorporates a premium warranty system that provides compensation for items that may occur due to driver negligence (such as cuts and cord exposure).

The ‘KCA31’ (275/70R22.5), designed for front and rear wheels of electric buses (EV), features a dedicated platform and pattern design specialized for EV vehicles, enhancing durability against heavy loads and increasing mileage by raising the load index compared to existing products.

A newly developed compound for EV use improves rolling resistance and grip, and has also obtained the Ministry of Environment’s eco-friendly mark certification.

Among other latest new products, the ‘KXD10+’ (245/70R19.5) for 5-ton cargo rear wheels applies a semi-block pattern with excellent fuel efficiency to improve mileage, achieve uniform wear, and enhance traction and braking force on the drive axle.

Additionally, the ‘KRA53’ (11R22.5) is a front tire for intercity buses that improves mileage by applying a wide tread contact width and provides high-speed driving stability for drivers.

Byungseok Lim, Executive Director of Korea Sales, stated, “The newly launched products represent Kumho Tire’s TBR technology capabilities, featuring durability, mileage, and environmentally friendly performance. We expect these to enhance customer satisfaction as well as trust and competitiveness in our products.”
