Frankfurt, Germany – Already a supplier of tires for the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Fiat Freemont, Kumho is now original fitment for another Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) model – the new Jeep Renegade.
As a result, Kumho Crugen Premium KL33 tires are being delivered in sizes 215/60R17 100V XL and 225/55R18 98H to FCA’s plant at Melfi in the Potenza province of Italy, where the new Renegade is being manufactured.
Specially developed for the particular needs of the growing SUV sector, the Kumho Crugen Premium KL33 provides comfort at speed, good handling and low levels of noise.
“Working in close cooperation with our client FCA, we have adjusted the Crugen Premium KL33 to the specific needs of the new Jeep Renegade,” Frank Gilsdorf, the engineer responsible for the contract at the Frankfurt-based Kumho European Technical Centre said.
