Kumho's flagship Ecsta PS71 tires, designed to optimize handling and braking on both dry and wet roads, will be fitted on Škoda Auto's electric SUVs, the Enyaq and Elroq, both built on Volkswagen's MEB electric vehicle platform. Škoda Auto has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 2000.
The tires, which began with passenger-car radial (PCR) sizes and have since expanded to SUV sizes, now feature a broad lineup capable of supporting major EV models. They incorporate an in-out tread design and hybrid technology to help maintain steering stability at high speeds, regardless of road conditions.
"Škoda is one of the most popular brands in the European market, and the latest supply deal reflects recognition of Kumho Tire's product quality and technology," said Kim In-su, an executive at Kumho Tire.
