The stand saw high levels of interest in the brand\u2019s multi-life tyre offering, with particular attention drawn to two of Kumho\u2019s latest innovations:<\/p>\n<p><strong>XD31 (Drive Position) \u2013<\/strong> Designed for regional and highway use, this tyre features advanced 3D interlocking sipes and Kumho\u2019s proprietary RevealiX Groove technology to deliver consistent traction and drainage throughout the tyre\u2019s lifespan. A dual tie-bar design provides improved stability, while the low rolling resistance compound supports fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XA31 (All Position) \u2013<\/strong> Built for longevity and versatility, the XA31 uses a directional tread pattern with a Tread Wear Balanced Bridge to combat uneven wear and enhance grip as the tyre ages. Engineered for quieter, more comfortable driving, it also resists stone trapping and delivers a long service life.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the show, Kumho\u2019s team engaged with fleet professionals looking for more sustainable and cost-effective tyre solutions. Attendees praised the brand\u2019s commitment to delivering premium performance at competitive prices, with a strong focus on safety, robust casing construction, and multi-life potential.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Lyons, managing director of Kumho Tyre UK and Ireland, commented: \u201cRTX 2025 was a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with fleet professionals and demonstrate how Kumho can support their safety and cost-saving goals. It was clear that our message around reducing total cost of ownership while maintaining top-tier performance resonated strongly. We\u2019re proud of the feedback we received and look forward to continuing those conversations in the months ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of June, Kumho Tyre wrapped up a successful debut at the 2025 Road Transport Expo (RTX), showcasing its latest range of commercial vehicle (CV) tyres to an engaged audience of fleet operators and industry professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":39797,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,1],"tags":[794],"class_list":["post-39796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kumho","category-news","tag-kumho"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
