Kumho Tire Launches Four New Products Including Tires Exclusively for Large Cargo Trucks
Kumho Tire announced on the 4th that it has launched four new tire products in the domestic market, including the 'KXA17' for tractors and cargo vehicles applying intelligent design, and the 'KCA31' for electric buses.
First, the new KXA17 is a front tire for medium- and long-distance tractor and cargo vehicles. It introduced a new concept intelligent pattern technology optimized for performance requirements according to wear rate. In particular, it enhanced tire lifespan and fuel efficiency through the domestically and internationally patented 'RCB (Rigidly Connected Bridge)' technology and three-dimensional sipes design. Additionally, it offers a premium warranty system that even covers driver negligence.
The KCA31, designed for the front and rear wheels of electric buses, is specialized for electric vehicles. With an electric vehicle-exclusive platform and pattern design, it increased the load index compared to existing products. It strengthened high-load durability and extended tire lifespan. By developing a new compound for electric vehicles, it improved rolling resistance and grip, and obtained the Ministry of Environment's eco-friendly mark certification.
Furthermore, the KXD10+ for 5-ton cargo rear wheels applies a semi-block pattern with excellent fuel efficiency. It extends tire lifespan and enables uniform wear. It also improved traction and braking force on the drive axle. Additionally, the KRA53 is a front tire for intercity buses. By applying a wide tread contact width, it extends lifespan and provides high-speed driving stability.
