Kumho Tire & Technology has launched a new tire for medium-duty cargo trucks and buses, expanding its commercial vehicle tire lineup.

On July 2, Kumho Tire introduced the AH30+, optimized for long-distance travel, to the domestic market.

With this new release, the AH30+ expands its offerings to two specifications, including the existing 205/75R17.5 size.

The newly introduced 245/70R19.5 AH30+ features a wider tread design, enhancing driving stability and handling performance compared to previous models.

Durability has also been improved. The zigzag groove design increases traction and braking performance across various road conditions, while the larger shoulder lugs enhance mileage performance.

Additionally, the tire's carcass and bead structure have been optimized, and a new compound specifically for the bead has been applied. This design focuses on providing stable performance in the long-distance operating environments typical for commercial vehicles.

Kumho Tire plans to continue expanding its premium commercial tire product range to strengthen its competitiveness in the domestic and international TBR markets.

In the first quarter of this year, Kumho Tire reported consolidated sales of 5.3139 trillion won and an operating profit of 506.9 billion won, reflecting solid performance. Sales increased by 7.0% and operating profit rose by 42.9% compared to the same period last year.
