Kumho to supply OE tyres for two VW Group models
21 November 2024 
Kumho Tire is to supply its ECSTA HS52 in size 215/60R16 as the original equipment tyre for the Volkswagen Passat and the Škoda Superb.
The Passat is the world’s first mid-sized car to sell more than 30 million units and Superb is Škoda’s flagship saloon.
Kumho said the ECSTA HS52 delivers superb ride comfort and excellent driving stability. The robust blocks of its tread pattern allow the tyre to maintain consistent friction when making contact with the road surface, reducing shock and noise and improving driving comfort.
“Our supply of OE tires is a recognition of the quality and technological excellence of Kumho’s products,” said Insoo Kim, Kumho’s head of OE sales division.
“We will continue to leverage our industry-leading quality and technology to expand our supply of OE tyres to premium automakers.”
