Why Are Kumho Tires So Cheap?
2 Answers
Kumho Tires are positioned as a mid-to-low-end brand, which makes their products relatively affordable. Kumho Tires offers a total of four series: the Ecsta series, Ecowing KH30, Solus series, and SUV series. The Ecsta series ranges from 500-1600 yuan per tire, the Ecowing KH30 is priced between 560-640 yuan per tire, the Solus series costs 300-800 yuan per tire, and the SUV series is priced at 690-2610 yuan per tire. The quality of Kumho Tires is highly guaranteed. Kumho is one of the few tire companies in the world that owns a dedicated tire testing track.
I've used Kumho tires before, and the main reason they're affordable is their excellent cost control in production. They have factories in places like China or Vietnam where labor costs are low and wages are cheaper. They also use mostly synthetic rubber, not the highest-grade natural rubber, which helps reduce costs. When I changed tires, I saved almost half compared to Michelin. They perform quietly and smoothly, but the wet road grip is slightly weaker. In the long run, if you don't drive much, the wear isn't too fast. The money saved can be spent on car maintenance. Of course, tire safety is the most important, so I must remind you to regularly check tire pressure and alignment to ensure there are no hidden risks. It's a good economical choice, especially suitable for friends on a tight budget.
