<\/p>\nKumho Tire has been presented with the Good Design Award (Japan) 2023 for its PorTran 4S CX11, a van and light commercial vehicle tyre.<\/p>\n
According to Kumho, it delivers stable driving and braking performance all year round by combining the strengths of the company\u2019s much-praised all-season Solus 4S HA32 passenger car pattern and its existing winter specification van tyre, the PorTran CW51.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CX11 has already demonstrated its competitiveness in terms of the European Tyre Labelling Regulations; achieving notable results for rolling resistance, wet grip, and external rolling noise. <\/p>\n
It also offers excellent durability, despite its lightweight construction, and complies with the strengthened European regulations for winter tyres, obtaining the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification in recognition of its reliability in harsh winter conditions.<\/p>\n
Recognising the fact that consumers sometimes fail to notice the degree of tread wear on their tyres, Kumho has introduced a customer-oriented feature called the \u2018New Wear Indicator\u2019. It contains a pattern which progresses through four different shapes according to the degree of wear, thereby allowing users to establish the remaining tread depth with ease.<\/p>\n
Hosted by the Japanese Institute of Design Promotion, the Good Design Award is one of the most prestigious such international competitions to emanate from Japan, with 66-years of history. <\/p>\n
Kumho\u2019s 2023 success came in the product category. Kumho was also honoured with it last year for the Road Venture AT52 and for the ECSTA HS52 in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith tyres, good design translates into good performance, and we are excited to have our design capabilities and driving performance recognised by this award,\u201d said Cho Mansik, head of the R&D division at Kumho Tire. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue striving to develop good design features so our customers can enjoy the benefits of cutting-edge tyre technology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
