The new tire lineup features 85 sizes ranging from 16 to 22 inches, covering more than 85% of the current crossover and SUV market. According to Shawn Denlein, president of sales and marketing for Kumho Tire U.S.A., the product aims to balance long-term durability with the ride comfort expected by drivers of larger, heavier vehicles. The design incorporates K-Maxmile technology and a specialized tread compound to improve wear resistance by 20% over previous iterations.
Kumho Targets Growing SUV Market With New Crugen GT Pro Tire
As crossovers and SUVs dominate modern vehicle sales, Kumho Tire U.S.A. is launching the Crugen GT Pro, an all-season touring tire designed to support the increased weight and performance demands of contemporary passenger vehicles, including electric models, while offering a 75,000-mile treadwear warranty.
Engineered for diverse conditions, the Crugen GT Pro utilizes K-Noise Defender technology to mitigate resonance and minimize road noise. Stability is maintained through a combination of reinforced shoulder blocks and a zigzag tread pattern that assists with high-speed handling and dry-road grip. For wet-weather safety, the tire employs K-Sipe Control technology and wide lateral grooves to resist hydroplaning. Through October 31, the company is offering an $80 prepaid Mastercard incentive for consumers who purchase a set of four qualifying tires, including the new model.
