Kumho Tyres has thrown its support behind Volkswagen’s unique and memorable celebration to mark 70 years in Australia and the production start of its ID range of battery electric vehicles.

To celebrate the milestone Volkswagen is attempting to break a Guinness World Record in achieving the biggest GPS image ever made by a vehicle.

The World Record attempts is being undertaken by Rainer Zeitlow, who is the holder of multiple endurance driving records, and he will attempt to write “ 70 years of VeeDub ” via the GPS tracking electronic trail left behind as he drives across the wilds of the Australian outback.

Zeitlow will be driving a Volkswagen ID.4 battery electric SUV equipped with Kumho HP71EV in 235/55R19 sizing as he weaves his way across a number of states and territories as he tries to capture the record and write the slogan and his name in the history books.

Following the record attempt Rainer will cap off the commemoration with a lap of Australia that will finish off a massive 33,000km seven week journey.

In 2023, Volkswagen announced it had chosen the Kumho HP71 EV as its OE fit on the new ID.4 when it debuts on the Australian market later this year.

Kumho Tyres Named As OE Supplier For Volkswagen’s Latest T7 Multivan

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 04:35:57 GMT

Leading automotive company Volkswagen has announced Kumho Tyres as the original equipment tyre supplier for its new seventh-generation Multivan ( Multivan T7 ).

Kumho Tyres will supply its ECSTA HS52 tyres in both 235/55R17 and 235/50R18, for the new generation Multivan, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between Kumho Tyres and Volkswagen.

The Volkswagen Multivan is one of the longest-produced models by Volkswagen, having been in production in various models and forms since 1949.

Traditionally known as the Kombi in many markets, particularly here in Australia, the Volkswagen van became one of the symbols of the youth revolution in the 1960s and ‘70s, and has continued to be a pillar of mini bus and van sales around the globe since then.

The Multivan T7 , is the latest iteration, and is based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB modular platform, designed for vehicles with a transverse engine layout. This platform allows for greater flexibility in manufacturing and design.

The Kumho ECSTA HS52 tyres are designed to provide a comfortable driving experience and high safety, with the tread pattern featuring a solid block design, which is engineered to maintain consistent road friction pressure, reducing impact and noise, while also enhancing ride comfort.

The latest Kumho design features have already earned the ECSTA HS52 high praise in performance tests.

The HS52 was ranked third overall in tyre performance tests by Germany's " ADAC " magazine and fourth overall by "Auto Bild," receiving the highest evaluation among domestic tyre companies.

Executive vice president of OE Sales for Kumho Tyres, Kim In-soo, emphasised the importance of the new Volkswagen supply agreement.

"The OE supply of Kumho Tyres for the Multivan T7 is significant as it is and has been one of Volkswagen's most iconic vehicles since its inception around 75 years ago.

“Kumho is recognised for its technology and quality, and we have established a strong partnership with Volkswagen, following OE supply agreements for its Taos, Jetta, and ID.4 models," Kim said.

Kumho Tyres ’ collaboration with Volkswagen is part of a broader strategy to expand its tyre supply through strategic partnerships with major global automakers.

The company has been supplying original equipment tyres for flagship electric vehicle models of major automakers, showcasing its top-level product technology and premium brand value.

Off Road Expert Sings Praises Of Kumho AT52 After Epic Desert Journey

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 04:34:39 GMT

Off-road expert and adventurer Denny Danis of Team Bullet Off Road has heaped praise on Kumho Tyres versatile and practical all terrain AT52 tyres following his latest adventure through a rain affected and muddy Central Australia, including a Simpson Desert Crossing and a run back from Birdsville via Moree in Northern NSW.

Denny said the AT52s on his 79 Series Toyota LandCruiser ute, out-performed all of the specialist mud terrain tyres on the five other Toyota’s which were part of the convoy, particularly in what was very muddy trip across the Simpson and coping with the equally wet conditions in the channel country south from Birdsville.

Team Bullet showcased its well-travelled 79 Series fitted with its Kumho AT52s at the Australian 4x4 and Adventure Show at Sydney International Dragway in September.

Denny said that the Central Australian trip which tracked west from Sydney and up to Coober Pedy, before heading to Mt Dare and across the Madigan Line crossing of the Simpson before returning to Sydney, covered about 8000 kms and was a stern test given the massive rainfall in weeks prior to the trek.

“I have to say I was a little sceptical given the roads had all been closed just prior to the trip and I was going to switch to a mud terrain, but decided to go with the Kumho AT52s to really put them through the test,” said Denny.

“The other four Toyotas were all on muddies and we were the only one on All Terrains and the performance was outstanding and put the muddies to shame really,” he said.

“The other stand out with the AT52s was their stability and strength even when the pressures were down on gravel roads after coming out of the dune country.”

“We filmed the trip for our YouTube channel and had GoPros aimed at the tyres and suspension and that proved the fact that the AT52s don’t jump or skip as much as many tyres, providing added stability and traction by keeping the rubber on the road longer and more consistently,” Denny added.

“On a Toyota 79 like ours with an all up weight of around three-tonnes the stability and strength of the AT52s was a stand out,” he said.

He also added that the AT52s also performed superbly on tarmac roads to and from the outback underlining their all-round excellence in a range of conditions.

“I’d like to make people realise that Kumho produces tyres that are world class and their performance is hard to top, particularly for the price,” Denny concluded.

Denny had his 79 Series on display at the Australian 4x4 and Adventure Show along with his competition rock crawler vehicle and saying he is a strong advocate for the Kumho AT52s.

Kumho Tyres chosen as original equipment for the new Kia Seltos

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:48:00 GMT

Kumho Tyres announced it was chosen as the original equipment supplier for Kia’s new compact SUV, the Seltos with its Solus TA91/TA31+ patterns.

The Kumho Solus TA31+ will be offered in 235/60R16 and 215/55R17 fitments while the SOLUS TA91 will be offered in a 235/45R18 fitment.

The Seltos OE contract is the latest addition to an already extensive OE lineup between Kumho and Kia Motors which includes the popular Kia Sorento and Optima vehicle lines. The company says it will be the exclusive OE tyre supplier for the new Seltos.

The Solus TA31+ is a Grand Touring tyre designed for all-season performance with an emphasis on quiet comfort. The TA31+ features a new tread compound balanced for extended mileage and on-road handling performance.

Kumho provides tyres for Hyundai Solati Limousine

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:47:00 GMT

Kumho Tyre is the first tyre manufacturer in the world to develop a 20-inch LCV tyre with a low aspect ratio of 45 and has been exclusively supplying these tyres for the Solati Limousine, Hyundai Motor’s premium minibus.

The Solati is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) boasting a sophisticated design, high-levels of quietness, and a roomy interior.

Industry analysts attribute the vehicle’s global popularity to a rich conversion lineup that significantly enhances the models’ usability. Last year, Hyundai worked with SM Entertainment to redesign the vehicle to fit the needs of artists like singers and actors. This collaboration led to the launch of the Solati Moving Hotel, which won Germany’s “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award.

Since January, Kumho has been providing an upgraded version of the Portran KC53 for the Solati Limousine. Designed specifically for LCVs, this steady-selling tyre offers greater mileage, prevents abnormal abrasion, and boasts higher durability and handling performance.

The Solati Limousine used to be mounted mostly on 16-inch tyres, but Hyundai Motor decided they were too small for the vehicle and predicted a rise in demand for 20-inch tries. This prompted the automaker to ask several tyre makers to develop new tyres, but many were reluctant to do so due to technological limitations. Only Kumho has been successful in accommodating Hyundai’s needs.

Aware of the need for LCV tyres to withstand considerable payloads, Kumho’s development team had to go for a low aspect ratio of 45 to avoid sacrificing ride comfort and fuel economy. By adopting high-strength compounds and carcasses for greater durability, creating a design to prevent patter abrasion, and reinforcing the shoulder section, Kumho became the first in the world to release a 20-inch LCV tyre with a low aspect ratio.

“The exclusive offering of 20-inch OE tyres for the Solati Limousine is a testament to our continuing technological excellence,” said Lee Younchang, head of the LT Tyres Development Team of Kumho Tyre, “We will keep developing proprietary technologies to meet the needs of our customers and consumers with the best tyres in the market.”

Kumho Tyre partners with Bayer 04 Leverkusen

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:36:00 GMT

Kumho Tyre has announced it has reached a two-year sponsorship deal with the prestigious football club Bayer 04 Leverkusen of the German Bundesliga, a contract that gives the company the right to serve as official global tyre partner until the 2020-2021 season.

The signing ceremony was held at BayArena, the club’s home stadium in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and was attended by CEO of Kumho Tyre Jeon Dae-jin and sporting director Rudolf Rudi Voller of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, along with other officials from both sides.

As an official partner of Leverkusen, Kumho will display its brand on the sleeves of players’ shirts, in LED advertisements during matches held in the club’s home stadium, in match brochures, and on the club’s website. Kumho will conduct brand marketing activities targeted at potential customers and strive to increase its brand awareness in Germany, a leader in the global automobile market and across Europe.

Started in 1904, Bayer 04 Leverkusen boasts a long history and tradition. The club is a five-time runner-up of the Bundesliga and won the UEFA Cup in the 1987-1988 season.

“Kumho has been a world-renowned tyre maker for years,” says Fernando Carro, CEO of Leverkusen. “Its focus on the global market and its aggressive business activities demonstrate the company is as ambitious as Bayer Leverkusen. I expect this deal to bolster both of us in our journey toward continued success.”

“We are very pleased to partner with this world-famous football club in addition to Tottenham,” says Jeon Dae-jin, CEO of Kumho Tyre. “We are committed to serving our customers and Leverkusen fans through this partnership, and we expect it to help us enhance our brand recognition and our position as a global tyre company.”

Kumho has been an official global partner of the prestigious Tottenham Hotspur Football Club of the EPL since 2016, and as part of its active marketing campaigns in the United States, one of the world’s largest tyre markets, it is also an official sponsor of the NBA League.

The star of the show is the PA51, aimed at brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus and Genesis, and specific models like the Kia Stinger, Mini Cooper and Ford Mustang, offering incredible tyre life.

Featuring a tread design that delivers enhanced handling and traction, and a quiet, comfortable ride, the PA51 utilises a strengthened centre rib and outside shoulder block stiffness.

Four wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder lateral grooves also make it a wet weather star. Kumho’s variable pitch sequence technology helps to minimise noise to provide a quieter and more comfortable drive too.

It’s PS71 sibling offers slightly better wet and dry performance, superb handling and excellent stability.

Our team put both tyres through serious testing at the Pheasant Wood Circuit near Marulan in country NSW, including wet and dry braking and cornering scenarios and a slalom course.

In wet and dry braking, both tyres pulled their respective performance cars to a halt quickly, with the PS71 able to do it in a slightly shorter distance. Pushed through corners, in variable conditions, the test team saw amazing levels of grip, especially in the dry.

It was virtually impossible to split the two, but in the wet, it was again the PS71 that was ever so slightly better, thanks to its softer compound. Over a longer test though, we believe the longevity of the PA51 would shine through.

Sudden cornering at high speed is a true test of tyres capabilities in an emergency or real-world situation, and it was on the slalom course we were able to best test the capabilities of both tyres.

Again, both tyres were remarkably good, with the PS71 offering greater turn in, while the PA51 also performed exceptionally well.

The duo of performance tyres from Kumho certainly set a new standard for the South Korean tyre maker, and are well worth a look when it’s time to buy new rubber for your performance car, or even if you want some decent rubber on your family car.

Kumho and its dealers overcame a lot of diversity last year to achieve an extremely solid sales result.

We would like to thank everyone for their efforts and look forward to being of support in 2021.

KUMHO SIGNS ON TO PARTNER CAMP QUALITY

Kumho Tyre has announced it has signed on children’s cancer charity Camp Quality as its major partner.

Camp Quality gives kids facing cancer the chance to be kids again, with services and programs created specifically to help children from birth to 15 years, who are dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of someone they love, like a brother, sister, mum or dad.

As part of the partnership, Kumho Tyre will undertake activities via hundreds of tyre dealers and tyre fitters across the Kumho network all around Australia, through special Camp Quality merchandise raising funds and awareness for the charity.

According to Kumho Tyre Australia’s managing director, John Jeon, the association with Camp Quality is a significant one for Kumho and will be the company’s major philanthropic focus in the future.

“Kumho is incredibly proud to be a corporate partner of Camp Quality because of the key role it plays in supporting children and families experiencing the challenges of cancer as well as providing valuable cancer education in schools across the community,” said Mr. Jeon.

“As a global company Kumho is committed to community involvement, and supporting Camp Quality is just one demonstration of Kumho giving something back to the community,” he said.

Kumho Tyre Australia, national marketing manager, Kenny Chun, said Kumho has a proud history of supporting worthy community charities over many years.

“We are really pleased to have signed on to partner with Camp Quality,” Kenny Chun added.

More than 7500 kids facing cancer are registered for services and programs with Camp Quality. It’s estimated that 750 kids aged 0-15 are newly diagnosed with cancer each year, with the charity supporting around 59 per cent of these children with their services and programs.

Camp Quality CEO, Deborah Thomas, said the partnership will enable Camp Quality to continue to provide much-needed services and programs to kids impacted by cancer.

“We are delighted to be chosen by Kumho Tyres as their charity partner and look forward to working with the Kumho team so that together we can create positive memories which help change the cancer story for kids and their families: in-hospital, at home, at school and away from it all on camps and retreats”.
