Without the right set of tires, the durability of a car can be severely diminished. The right tires provide everything from a smoother ride on bumpy roads to better traction in bad weather. The Kumho Tire Company has realized the need to make the right tire, and their tires have been driving along the roads of the world ever since.

The history of Kumho begins in September of 1960 when the Korean company Samyang Tires was formed. When the company developed their first tire, they were making an average of twenty tires a day, but they persisted in developing their technology, finally making car tires for compact passenger cars in 1963. By the end of 1960, the company had acquired licensing with the US Department of Transportation, and had developed Kumho snow tires and truck tires.

Kumho designs tires for a variety of trucks. Kumho truck tires are made for light trucks, sports trucks and commercial trucks. Kumho tires are also designed to handle a wide range of conditions including terrain, mud terrain, ultra high performance, and highway all season. Based on the type of truck and the general conditions the truck is driven in, there is a Kumho tire that is perfectly suited.

Prices for truck tires range from $50-$1000/tire for new tires, depending on the size and style of tire. The most expensive truck tires are the ECSTA STX for Street/Sports Trucks all-season, ranging from $90-$1000/tire. The rest of the Kumho tires for trucks range from $50-$500. Used truck tires are generally about $20 cheaper per tire.

Kumho tires for cars are also designed for specific models and conditions. There are Kumho car tires for competition, ultra high performance, high performance, premium touring, broadline a/s, and original equipment. To determine the type of tire a vehicle needs, it is best to seek the advice of an expert, such as the people at a Kumho dealership. Unlike other tire companies, the Kumho Tire Company designs tires for regular as well as commercial vehicles, and it is best not to get the types of tires mixed up. Prices for car tires range from $30-$300/tire.

These different types of Kumho tires are available at any Kumho dealerships, whether they are retail stores or online. There are currently Kumho dealerships that are simply retail, and then there are commercial Kumho dealerships, as well as distributors of the Kumho tires. Finding a retailer of Kumho tires is fairly easy. The Kumho Tire website provides an easy to use search engine to find the nearest Kumho dealership.

Whether it's an eighteen-wheeler in need of eighteen new wheels or a sedate suburban four door that wants a smoother drive to work, there is a  Kumho tire that is  perfect for every need. By finding a Kumho dealership, consulting the experts, and finding the perfect tires, every driver can be one step away from driving a brand of quality tires that has endured over time
