Kumho Tire announced on the 16th that it will supply original equipment (OE) tires for Renault Korea's mid-sized sport utility vehicle (SUV) Grand Koleos.
The Cruzen HP71 product supplied by Kumho Tire for the Grand Koleos is a high-performance premium comfort tire that enhances smooth driving performance and quietness. Using differentiated materials and compounds (the rubber layer of the tire), it improved wear performance and snow performance by more than 20% compared to existing products.
The tires are available in two sizes: 235/50R19 and 245/45R20. Among these, the 20-inch size features a 'noise reduction tire' with foam attached to enhance quietness for SUV drivers looking for a quiet ride. Noise occurs from vibrations of air inside the tire when the tire's surface makes contact with the road surface.
Kim In-soo, head of the OE sales division at Kumho Tire, said, 'By supplying original equipment tires for the Grand Koleos, which harmonizes fuel efficiency, performance, and new technology, we have been able to demonstrate Kumho Tire's premium technology. We will continue to strengthen strategic partnerships with major automakers and expand our supply of original equipment tires.'
