Kumho provides tyres for Volkswagen Multivan

Kumho Tyre supplies its ECSTA HS52 as the original equipment (OE) tyre for the Volkswagen Multivan. The tyre is delivered in the two sizes 235/55R17 and 235/50R18.​

The new Multivan belongs to Volkswagen’s large van series, whose production began in 1949, making it the oldest vehicle from the German automaker. Based on MQB, Volkswagen’s signature platform for transverse engines, the Multivan boasts a variety of features and electrification technologies, such as a digital instrument cluster and wireless phone charging, which characterise the latest trends in the van and transporter segment.

The ECSTA HS52 is suitable for both sedans and sport vehicles as it delivers superb riding comfort and excellent stability for drivers. The robust block pattern on the tread allows the tye to maintain consistent friction when making a contact with the road surface, reducing shock and noise and improving driving comfort.

Earlier this year, the ECSTA HS52 received excellent scores in summer tyre performance tests conducted by the German auto magazines ADAC Motorwelt and Auto Bild, which are renowned in Europe and around the world. It was ranked third (grade: Good) by ADAC Motorwelt and fourth (grade: Good) by Auto Bild.

Insoo Kim, Executive Vice President of Sales - OE at Kumho Tyre, said, “Our supply of OE tyres for the Multivan holds great significance since the vehicle is a key model belonging to a series that dates back to the beginning of Volkswagen. The automaker’s recognition of our quality and technological capabilities has enabled us to maintain a strong partnership with them, even before the Multivan, with respect to such vehicles as the Polo, Taos and Jetta.”
