Kumho Adds Ford Fiesta to OE Fitment List
Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., June 22, 2010—
Kumho Solus KH25 passenger tires will be original equipment on the all-new 2011 Ford Fiesta. Due to launch in summer 2010, Ford Fiesta models will be equipped with Solus KH25 in the H-speed rated size P185/60R15. The Solus KH25 is engineered to provide high performance grip and handling in all weather conditions while delivering long mileage. The all-new Fiesta features an expressive, vibrant design and a global track record that will redefine U.S. small car customers’ expectations.
The quiet, comfortable ride of the Solus KH25 will contribute to the Fiesta’s class-leading NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels. In addition to the tires, Fiesta is equipped with a specially laminated, class-exclusive windshield that will help to absorb and contain noise. Engine noise is subdued by a hood blanket, with enhanced door seals keeping wind noise minimized.
With more than 750,000 Fiestas sold globally, Ford Motor Company looks to continue Fiesta’s sales momentum in the U.S. market. “Kumho Tire is proud to partner with Ford Motor Company by providing the OE fitment on the 2011 Fiesta. The Fiesta name has been synonymous with drive quality, design and value which matches the core features of Kumho’s Solus line of tires.” added J.B. Kim, President and CEO of Kumho Tire USA.
