Kumho to add further fitments to key eco offering

Kumho’s recently introduced Ecowing ES01 KH27 is a high performance summer product aimed at drivers for whom fuel efficiency and quiet, smooth running are major priorities.

The Korean manufacturer states that the tyre offers: optimised rolling resistance as a result of minimal sidewall deformation and the use of high dispersion silica; a notably stiff apex and rim flange for optimum handling and controllability; three wide tread grooves for wet grip.

The KH27 is available in more than 70 sizes fitments for small and medium-sized passenger cars. The manufacturer says that further fitments will be added to the European range in the coming months.
