Winners are granted the G-mark following evaluation of their design, usability and innovative features. The award is divided into five categories and Kumho\u2019s success came in the sub-division of that for transportation equipment and industrial facility.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25463\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kUMHOS-GOOD-DESIGN-AWARD-WINNERS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kUMHOS-GOOD-DESIGN-AWARD-WINNERS.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kUMHOS-GOOD-DESIGN-AWARD-WINNERS-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/kUMHOS-GOOD-DESIGN-AWARD-WINNERS-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Majesty 9 is an upgraded version of the Majesty Solus, over which it offers superior ride comfort and quietness. Novel touches include the sidewall being decorated with a hologram that changes form according to the angle of the prevailing ight, while the tread carries an elegant repeating design of geometric patterns ad contemporary-looking curves.<\/p>\n<p>The ECSTA PA51 is an all-season tyre that boats a mix of sport and comfort features. The asymmetrical tread pattern disperses water in four different directions for greater efficiency and fuel economy, and the differing depth of the grooves guarantees reduced noise and improved grip. The tyre\u2019s sidewall features the dynamic graphic of a motor racing flag.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on this latest accolade for the company, Kumho UK\u2019s marketing director John Thrupp said: \u201cWhile the two products concerned are not available in the UK, the fact that our tyres continue to gain recognition from the world\u2019s top design competitions year-on-year most certainly is relevant to our position within the British tyre market, and how our tyres are perceived by the trade and members of the public alike.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumho&#8217;s tread patterns for passenger cars, the Majesty 9 Solus TA91 and ECSTA PA51, have been recognised with two Good Design Awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":25463,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kumho","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
