On the 15th, Kia announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hankook Tire & Technology at 'Kia 360' in Gangnam, Seoul, regarding the supply of tires for certified used cars. The signing ceremony was attended by Kwon Hyuk-ho, Vice President of Kia, and Park Jong-ho, Head of Hankook Tire Korea Business Division, among others.


Through this agreement, Kia will install Hankook Tire's main brand products on vehicles that require tire replacement during the process of purchasing and refurbishing used cars. For passenger cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), the Hankook Tire all-season balanced tire 'Kinergy ST AS' and the on-road SUV tire 'Dynapro HL3' will be installed, respectively. The representative electric vehicle model EV6 will be equipped with the electric vehicle-specific tire 'iON evo AS,' and the high-performance sports sedan 'Stinger' will feature the ultra-high-performance tire 'Ventus S1 evo 2.'



A Kia official stated, "The purpose of this MOU is to supply customers who purchase vehicles with vehicles in the best condition, in line with Kia's certified used car business direction," adding, "If tire replacement is necessary during the refurbishment process, we will install new products supplied by Hankook Tire to enhance customer satisfaction."
