Kumho Tire Provides Tire Information Management Solution to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors

Real-time Monitoring of Tire Pressure and Temperature

Kumho Tire announced on the 16th that it will provide an intelligent tire information management solution to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, a K League club.

Kumho Tire plans to go beyond simply supplying products and will offer an integrated service aimed at ensuring the safe transportation of the team and improving vehicle management efficiency.

In February, Kumho Tire held a signing ceremony at Jeonju World Cup Stadium, the home stadium of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, to extend their official partnership. Celebrating its 31st anniversary, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors is the team with the most championships (nine times) in the K League, the top professional football league in South Korea.

The intelligent tire information management solution is a system that monitors tire pressure and temperature in real time through sensors attached to the tires. This allows for the immediate detection of abnormal signs such as air leaks and overheating, thereby preventing accidents. In particular, it can detect issues in the inner rear tires, which are difficult to check visually, significantly enhancing safety.

Kumho Tire verified the effectiveness of the intelligent tire information management solution through a pilot application in 2023. Vehicles equipped with the system showed clear improvements in several areas, including reduced maintenance time, lower fuel costs, and extended lifespan of undercarriage components. In particular, the frequency of damage to expensive parts such as the 'spring pan,' which commonly occurs when driving for long periods with low tire pressure, was noticeably reduced, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Yoon Minseok, Executive Director of G. Marketing at Kumho Tire, said, "The intelligent tire information management solution is an integrated solution that simultaneously enhances the safety and efficiency of vehicle operations." He added, "Kumho Tire will continue to strengthen its position as a smart mobility partner that provides customers with safe and convenient transportation through new technologies and solutions."
