Kumho Tyre to make RTX debut

Kumho Tyre will be exhibiting for the first time at Road Transport Expo (RTX) 2025 with a message for fleet operators: “prioritise safety, reduce total tyre ownership costs and get more mileage for your money”.

Visitors to Stand R37 will discover how Kumho’s latest commercial vehicle (CV) tyres combine performance with long-term value, helping to reduce total cost of ownership through cutting-edge design and advanced tyre technology.

Demonstrating five of its key products: the XA31, XD31, XS10, MD41, and MA12, Kumho says it will highlight tyres for, steer, drive and all position fitment, reinforcing its commitment to high-performing, multi-life tyres that help vehicle operators stay safe, efficient and on the move.

Among the standout products on display are two of Kumho’s latest developments: The XD31 (Drive Position) is engineered for dependability for demanding regional and highway service, featuring advanced 3D interlocking sipes and Kumho’s innovative RevealiX Groove technology to enhance grip and drainage throughout the tyre’s lifespan. Its dual tie-bar design ensures excellent traction and stability, while the compound technology helps lower rolling resistance—cutting both fuel costs and emissions.

Meanwhile, the XA31 (All Position) offers a directional tread pattern and a unique Tread Wear Balanced Bridge that prevents abnormal wear and enhances grip as the tyre ages. Designed to deliver comfort, safety, and quiet performance across fleet applications, it also resists stone trapping and is built for a long tyre life.

Kumho says each tyre in the line-up reflects the company’s engineering focus on safety as the number one priority, supported by long range mileage, robust casing construction and multi-life potential to help operators get the best return on investment.

Richard Lyons, managing director of Kumho Tyre UK and Ireland, commented: “At RTX, we’re not just showcasing tyres, we’re showing what fleets can achieve when safety and performance go hand in hand.

“Our range is engineered to deliver an excellent balance of longevity and low rolling resistance, helping operators reduce total cost of ownership while keeping their people and cargo safe.

“We’re excited to meet fleet professionals at Stand R37 and talk about how Kumho Tyre can help drive their business forward.”
