Kumho Expands EV Tire Lineup

April 9, 2024

Kumho Tire USA has introduced two new tires for its electric vehicle (EV) lineup – the Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV and the Crugen HP71 EV.  

Both tires feature Kumho Tire’s K-Silent technology to reduce cabin noise and enhance comfort. The technology features sound-absorbing foam materials inside the tire structure and a tread pattern to dissipate the noise.  

The Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV was designed for EV drivers of coupes, sedans and CUVs. The Crugen HP71 EV was designed for CUVs and SUVs with an added level of all-weather performance.  

“Kumho Tire is at the forefront of EV tire technology,” says Shawn Denlein, president of sales and marketing for Kumho Tire USA.  

“Innovation never stops at Kumho Tire, as we continue to evolve our EV tire offerings while offering consumers durable and affordable options for the unique demands of today’s various EV models.”  

Both tires are designed to lower rolling resistance and improve driving range per charge.  

The Majesty Solus TA91 EV tire is available in 18-inch to 21-inch tire sizes, and the Crugen HP71 EV tires are available in 19-inch to 22-inch tire sizes. Both tires feature a 50,000-mile warranty.  

Kumho Tire's EV tire lineup is compatible with five EV fitments in North America, serving as an original equipment (OE) supplier for manufacturers including Kia and Hyundai.
