Kumho OE for Skoda Superb

The Volkswagen Group has approved the Ecsta HS52 from Kumho Tire as original equipment fitment for the latest Skoda Superb, as well as the new VW Passat Estate (not sold in Ireland).

Both will be factory fitted with the Kumho Ecsta HS52 in size 215/60 R16, which, according to the Korean tyre maker, offers exceptional comfort and outstanding performance. With its robust tread pattern, Kumho adds that the Ecsta HS52 ensures optimal stability while reducing bumps and noise, significantly enhancing driving comfort.

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 has also received excellent ratings in summer tyre tests from ADAC and Auto Bild—ranking third (Grade: Good) in the ADAC test and fourth (Grade: Good) in the Auto Bild test.

“Volkswagen and Skoda are very popular in the Korean and overseas markets, respectively. Our supply of OE tyres is a recognition of the quality and technological excellence of Kumho models,” said Insoo Kim, head of OE sales division at Kumho Tire. “We will continue to leverage our industry-leading quality and technology to expand our supply of OE tyres to premium automakers.”
