Kumho Targets Growing SUV Market With New Crugen GT Pro Tire
As crossovers and SUVs dominate modern vehicle sales, Kumho Tire U.S.A. is launching the Crugen GT Pro, an all-season touring tire designed to support the increased weight and performance demands of contemporary passenger vehicles, including electric models, while offering a 75,000-mile treadwear warranty.
Engineered for diverse conditions, the Crugen GT Pro utilizes K-Noise Defender technology to mitigate resonance and minimize road noise. Stability is maintained through a combination of reinforced shoulder blocks and a zigzag tread pattern that assists with high-speed handling and dry-road grip. For wet-weather safety, the tire employs K-Sipe Control technology and wide lateral grooves to resist hydroplaning. Through October 31, the company is offering an $80 prepaid Mastercard incentive for consumers who purchase a set of four qualifying tires, including the new model.
