Kumho earned two “Best Buy” awards in the most recent tire evaluation conducted by Consumers Digest magazine.
The company’s Solus KR21 and Ecsta STX were honored in the Touring Cars and Performance SUV categories, respectively. The Consumers Digest evaluation ranged from all season car and performance tires to those for light trucks and SUVs.
The tire Best Buys, featured in the February issue, are chosen by the publication’s editors based on results from independent testing, technical experts and over-the-road evaluations.
“The Solus KR21 is an outstanding touring tire and the Ecsta STX is an exceptional performance SUV tire and all of us at Kumho are excited about the recognition these tires have received,” says Rick Brennan, vice president of sales and marketing. “Earning Consumers Digest’s Best Buy award is a key indicator of Kumho’s pledge to value and performance.”
The KR21 is the company’s standard touring all season offering made for the drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans, crossovers and SUVs. It boasts a combination of long wear, low noise and superior ride with capable handling and all season traction, even in light snow, according to Brennan.
The STX “is an aggressive tire designed for quick response and sporty handling,” he says. “This tire is made for the needs of the SUV and light truck driver. The all season performance provides superior wet and dry handling.”
