Korean brand founded in 1960, OE on Hyundai and Kia. Ecsta for sporty driving, Crugen and Road Venture for SUVs, Solus for comfort.
About Kumho tyres
Kumho Tire was founded in Gwangju, South Korea in 1960. It is one of Korea’s three big tyre makers, alongside Hankook and Nexen, and supplies original equipment to Hyundai and Kia among others.
Kumho is one of the most searched tyre brands in the UAE, with interest well above many better-known premium names. The reason is value: Kumho tyres offer sporty handling and comfort at a mid-range price, which suits the many Korean and Japanese saloons and SUVs on UAE roads.
The range is easy to understand. Ecsta is the performance family, Solus the comfort family, Crugen the SUV highway family, and Road Venture the off-road family. Whatever you drive, there is usually a Kumho tyre in the right size.
Kumho tyre price in UAE
Kumho is a mid-range tyre brand. As a guide, a fitted mid-range tyre in the UAE costs about AED 280–420 on a 16-inch rim, AED 450–700 on an 18-inch rim and AED 600–950 on 19 and 20-inch SUV and performance sizes. These are typical market ranges, not a price list: the exact Kumho price depends on the size, load and speed rating and the model, and it is confirmed with your quote before we book the fitting.
Kumho sits in the lower half of the mid-range band, usually below Hankook and Yokohama on comparable sizes. That makes it a popular choice for drivers who want a recognised brand without paying premium prices.

Which cars suit Kumho tyres?
Kumho supplies original equipment to Hyundai and Kia, making it a natural replacement on the Elantra, Accent, Tucson, Sportage, Cerato and Sorento. The Crugen and Road Venture ranges also suit Japanese SUVs and 4x4s.
Kumho tyres in UAE heat
Kumho summer and SUV tyres are designed for hot climates and carry the load ratings needed for Gulf SUVs. Keep pressures right for your load and check them cold, before a long summer drive.
Performance tyres such as the Ecsta PS71 use a softer compound for grip, which wears faster in high heat than a Solus or Crugen tyre. If tread life matters more than ultimate grip, choose the comfort or SUV ranges.
For off-road use with the Road Venture AT52, lower pressures for sand and re-inflate before the motorway.
Buying Kumho tyres in the UAE: what to check
- 1
Kumho performance tyres are good value for sporty saloons, but they are designed for grip rather than long life. If you cover a lot of kilometres, the Solus and Ecsta HS comfort ranges last longer.
- 2
For a Hyundai or Kia that came on Kumho, reading the full model name on the sidewall makes like-for-like replacement easy.
- 3
The Road Venture AT52 is one of the more affordable all-terrain tyres from a major brand. That makes it a practical choice for pickup owners who visit the desert occasionally rather than every weekend.
