Kumho Tyre Australia has announced a significant new sports partnership with Hockey Australia, which will see the global tyre company align with one of Australia’s most exciting sports, supporting both the Hockeyroos and the Kookaburras as well as grass roots hockey.
Kumho’s partnership with Hockey Australia follows its support for Australian Women’s Softball through the last Olympic cycle, and is part of its ongoing and longstanding commitment to support a range of leading sports and sporting teams over several decades in Australia and around the world.
“We look forward to the partnership with Hockey Australia, and believe it will have a very positive impact on both organisations,” Kenny Chun said.
“Kumho also expects to announce a significant International motor sport initiative in the coming months which will deliver huge exposure on a global stage,” he concluded.
The outstanding Kumho ECSTA PS71 is now available in a range of Runflat sizes.
Kumho Tyre announced it is supplying Original Equipment tyres for Volkswagen's 7th generation Jetta vehicles in 205/55R17 and 205/60R16 fitments.
The Solus TA31 is Kumho Tyres premium comfort bestseller and highlights low noise, enhanced treadwear, and overall driving performance. The tread of the Solus TA31 minimizes noise through a specialised block and pattern arrangement. The rigid construction improves handling and braking performance on dry roads, while the application of four wide circumferential grooves improves water evacuation on wet roads to reduce hydroplaning.
Kim In-soo, Managing Director of OE sales at Kumho Tyre, says, "This supply of Volkswagen Jetta OE is the result of the recognition of the quality and technology of Kumho Tyre products. In addition, Kumho Tyre will further strengthen its partnerships with premium global car brands with technology based on R&D innovation."
Kumho’s commitment to the Australian market includes two new state of the art distribution facilities.
The Willawong QLD warehouse will be completed end of October, while the Marsden Park NSW is scheduled for completion mid-December.
