Sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo to feature standard-fit Kuhmo Ecowing tyres
Selected versions of the new sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo will be fitted with Kuhmo tyres, it has been announced today. Designed for optimum fuel economy, the South Korean company’s Ecowing ES01 KH27 is now standard on Polos leaving the production lines in the Spanish Pamplona factory and wearing tyres of 185/65 R15 88H size.
Kuhmo was already an approved tyre supplier to the fifth-generation Polo, too, but the KH27 has been developed to ‘meet the needs of compact and medium sized vehicles and is characterised by its notably low-rolling resistance’, which results in lower fuel consumption and rate of wear, as acknowledged by ADAC tyre tests (ADAC Motorwelt 03/2016).
