NSW/QLD Platinum Dealer Conference

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 11:43:04 GMT

After a number of years and a range of factors beyond anyone’s control, Kumho Tyre Australia were pleased to host a combined Platinum Dealer Conference for their NSW and QLD Dealers on the Gold Coast.

Held in mid-October, 28 of the Kumho Platinum Dealers checked in to the Mantra on View in Surfers Paradise before hearing all the latest from key Kumho staff about the year so far and the road ahead for Kumho as a brand and also the Platinum Dealer program.

With near 70 people in the room, it was great to be able to share ideas and workshop things that work, and also work through issues individual stores may run in to at different times. With multiple people from Head Office in attendance, Dealers certainly found it beneficial to have direct correspondence and conversations with key decision-makers.

After spending close to three hours running through a number of key elements, it was time for everyone to pretty themselves up before meeting for a quiet ale and from there it was off to Top Golf.

For a large contingent of the group it was their first experience at the venue and it didn’t disappoint. With good food, cold beverages and a golf range like no other, a fun time was had by all. Special mention must go to Ian Kennedy from Transit Tyres in Mackay and Craig Hooper from Tyrewise on the Sunshine Coast who clearly spend a lot of their time when not at their store playing golf and working on their game.

National Trade Marketing Manager, Paul Deer, was pleased with how the conference went.

“It’s been difficult for everyone to come together over the past couple of years but we made sure this year we gave all our valued Platinum Dealers the opportunity to attend what I believe was a successful event,” Deer said.

“We had a great turn out and it was good to be able to be in front of a large group to talk them through the success of the last 12 months, as well as discuss some exciting projects we’ve got underway heading into 2024.

“Whilst we talked ‘shop’ for a period in the afternoon, we got to experience one of the Gold Coast’s newest attractions in Top Golf. It was certainly enjoyable and I think it’s safe to say all our Platinum Dealers should stick to their day job and won’t be on the PGA TOUR anytime soon.

“We thank all of our Platinum Dealers for their continued support of the program and we are certainly looking forward to finishing the year strongly and then starting 2024 with a bang.”

At the conclusion of the awards presentation we meandered down to Ahmet’s Turkish restaurant, where we experienced some amazing Turkish cuisine, and some not so amazing attempts at belly dancing…..although an honourable mention should go out to Craig Moran from Morans Service centre in Maclean who seemed to take the professional belly dancer by surprise with his moves.

All in all it was a fantastic weekend and a great opportunity to spend time with the Platinum group during 2022.

Kumho Tyres chosen as original equipment for the new Kia Seltos

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:48:00 GMT

Kumho Tyres announced it was chosen as the original equipment supplier for Kia’s new compact SUV, the Seltos with its Solus TA91/TA31+ patterns.

The Kumho Solus TA31+ will be offered in 235/60R16 and 215/55R17 fitments while the SOLUS TA91 will be offered in a 235/45R18 fitment.

The Seltos OE contract is the latest addition to an already extensive OE lineup between Kumho and Kia Motors which includes the popular Kia Sorento and Optima vehicle lines. The company says it will be the exclusive OE tyre supplier for the new Seltos.

The Solus TA31+ is a Grand Touring tyre designed for all-season performance with an emphasis on quiet comfort. The TA31+ features a new tread compound balanced for extended mileage and on-road handling performance.

Launched in 2018, the Solus TA91 is Kumho’s Premium Grand Touring tyre. Built with Kumho’s latest technology, Solus TA91 is made for ultimate ride comfort and braking abilities. Its compound gives even more durability and best-in-class braking to ensure driver safety.

The CEO of Kumho Tyre said “We are excited to be the exclusive OE tyre provider for the Kia Seltos which has already made successful debuts in Korea and India. Kumho Tyre will continue to strive to produce only the highest quality products and to offer the most reliable service to our partners.”

Kumho provides tyres for Hyundai Solati Limousine

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:47:00 GMT

Kumho Tyre is the first tyre manufacturer in the world to develop a 20-inch LCV tyre with a low aspect ratio of 45 and has been exclusively supplying these tyres for the Solati Limousine, Hyundai Motor’s premium minibus.

The Solati is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) boasting a sophisticated design, high-levels of quietness, and a roomy interior.

Industry analysts attribute the vehicle’s global popularity to a rich conversion lineup that significantly enhances the models’ usability. Last year, Hyundai worked with SM Entertainment to redesign the vehicle to fit the needs of artists like singers and actors. This collaboration led to the launch of the Solati Moving Hotel, which won Germany’s “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award.

Since January, Kumho has been providing an upgraded version of the Portran KC53 for the Solati Limousine. Designed specifically for LCVs, this steady-selling tyre offers greater mileage, prevents abnormal abrasion, and boasts higher durability and handling performance.

The Solati Limousine used to be mounted mostly on 16-inch tyres, but Hyundai Motor decided they were too small for the vehicle and predicted a rise in demand for 20-inch tries. This prompted the automaker to ask several tyre makers to develop new tyres, but many were reluctant to do so due to technological limitations. Only Kumho has been successful in accommodating Hyundai’s needs.

Aware of the need for LCV tyres to withstand considerable payloads, Kumho’s development team had to go for a low aspect ratio of 45 to avoid sacrificing ride comfort and fuel economy. By adopting high-strength compounds and carcasses for greater durability, creating a design to prevent patter abrasion, and reinforcing the shoulder section, Kumho became the first in the world to release a 20-inch LCV tyre with a low aspect ratio.

“The exclusive offering of 20-inch OE tyres for the Solati Limousine is a testament to our continuing technological excellence,” said Lee Younchang, head of the LT Tyres Development Team of Kumho Tyre, “We will keep developing proprietary technologies to meet the needs of our customers and consumers with the best tyres in the market.”

Kumho Tyre partners with Bayer 04 Leverkusen

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:36:00 GMT

Kumho Tyre has announced it has reached a two-year sponsorship deal with the prestigious football club Bayer 04 Leverkusen of the German Bundesliga, a contract that gives the company the right to serve as official global tyre partner until the 2020-2021 season.

The signing ceremony was held at BayArena, the club’s home stadium in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and was attended by CEO of Kumho Tyre Jeon Dae-jin and sporting director Rudolf Rudi Voller of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, along with other officials from both sides.

As an official partner of Leverkusen, Kumho will display its brand on the sleeves of players’ shirts, in LED advertisements during matches held in the club’s home stadium, in match brochures, and on the club’s website. Kumho will conduct brand marketing activities targeted at potential customers and strive to increase its brand awareness in Germany, a leader in the global automobile market and across Europe.

Started in 1904, Bayer 04 Leverkusen boasts a long history and tradition. The club is a five-time runner-up of the Bundesliga and won the UEFA Cup in the 1987-1988 season.

“Kumho has been a world-renowned tyre maker for years,” says Fernando Carro, CEO of Leverkusen. “Its focus on the global market and its aggressive business activities demonstrate the company is as ambitious as Bayer Leverkusen. I expect this deal to bolster both of us in our journey toward continued success.”

“We are very pleased to partner with this world-famous football club in addition to Tottenham,” says Jeon Dae-jin, CEO of Kumho Tyre. “We are committed to serving our customers and Leverkusen fans through this partnership, and we expect it to help us enhance our brand recognition and our position as a global tyre company.”

Kumho has been an official global partner of the prestigious Tottenham Hotspur Football Club of the EPL since 2016, and as part of its active marketing campaigns in the United States, one of the world’s largest tyre markets, it is also an official sponsor of the NBA League. The company plans to use these sponsorships to solidify its brand reputation globally.

Kumho officially launches the new ECSTA PA51

info@cocktailmarketing.com.au (Richard Wilson) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:03:00 GMT

Take one country NSW race track and add in a Kia Stinger GT and Genesis G70 Ultimate Sport. Marry them to the new state of the art Kumho PA51 performance tyre and its PS71 sibling and you get a true test of the brand’s new ‘comfortable’ ECSTA rubber.

The star of the show is the PA51, aimed at brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus and Genesis, and specific models like the Kia Stinger, Mini Cooper and Ford Mustang, offering incredible tyre life.

Featuring a tread design that delivers enhanced handling and traction, and a quiet, comfortable ride, the PA51 utilises a strengthened centre rib and outside shoulder block stiffness.

Four wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder lateral grooves also make it a wet weather star. Kumho’s variable pitch sequence technology helps to minimise noise to provide a quieter and more comfortable drive too.

It’s PS71 sibling offers slightly better wet and dry performance, superb handling and excellent stability.

Our team put both tyres through serious testing at the Pheasant Wood Circuit near Marulan in country NSW, including wet and dry braking and cornering scenarios and a slalom course.

In wet and dry braking, both tyres pulled their respective performance cars to a halt quickly, with the PS71 able to do it in a slightly shorter distance. Pushed through corners, in variable conditions, the test team saw amazing levels of grip, especially in the dry.

It was virtually impossible to split the two, but in the wet, it was again the PS71 that was ever so slightly better, thanks to its softer compound. Over a longer test though, we believe the longevity of the PA51 would shine through.

Sudden cornering at high speed is a true test of tyres capabilities in an emergency or real-world situation, and it was on the slalom course we were able to best test the capabilities of both tyres.

Again, both tyres were remarkably good, with the PS71 offering greater turn in, while the PA51 also performed exceptionally well.

The duo of performance tyres from Kumho certainly set a new standard for the South Korean tyre maker, and are well worth a look when it’s time to buy new rubber for your performance car, or even if you want some decent rubber on your family car.
