New Ecowing Rounds Out Kumho Eco Lineup

Kumho Tire USA has launched the Ecowing KH30, a low rolling resistance radial that the company said delivers long tread mileage.

Now available in 22 sizes, the all-season Ecowing KH30 carries a 60,000mile treadwear warranty.

Designed for a broad range of passenger vehicles – including compact, mid-size and luxury coupes and sedans – the Ecowing KH30 comes in H- and V-rated sizes.

“The Ecowing KH30 is the perfect addition to our growing line of eco-friendly tires,” said Kumho vice president of marketing. “It delivers all the environmental and performance attributes in a single package and is a smart choice for the environment and for your pocketbook. By taking proactive steps toward research and using eco-friendly materials, we are leading the industry in developing eco-conscious products for our customers.”

Kumho said the new tire rounds out its eco offering, which includes the Eco Solus HM and Eco Solus KL21.
