One of the world's most prestigious marques, Mercedes Benz, has again turned to Kumho to supply comfortable, quiet and durable performance tyres as original equipment for  the company's new B Class.

The new Mercedes B-Class now comes equipped with 195/65 R15 size Kumho Ecsta HM KH31 tyres as standard.

The HM KH31 is part of Kumho's performance car tyre range designed to provide excellent grip, sporty handling, and a quiet, comfortable ride.

According to Kumho Tyre Australia national marketing and training manager, David Basha, the Ecsta HM is an internationally acclaimed tyre ideal for small to mid sized vehicles.

"The Escta HM KH31 is an internationally acclaimed tyre that has been awarded a Good Design Award in Korea as well as being highly recommended by two of Europe's largest motoring organisations," said David Basha.

"All round capabilities make the KH31 an ideal match for the Mercedes B Class."

Kumho's silica compound gives the KH31 the grip of a sports tyre while providing a smooth, comfortable and quiet ride around town and on the open road.

The silica compound also gives the KH31 great handing qualities in the wet and aids in reducing aqua planning.

Four wide and deep circumferential grooves ensure the Ecsta HM maintains optimum contact with the road in even the wettest conditions and the asymmetrical tread directs water to the outside of the tyre so handling isn't compromised.

The tread design also features multi-pitched blocks to reduce road noise making the ride not just comfortable but quiet as well.

Kumho currently supplies tyres to Mercedes Benz for the G Class SUV and Sprinter van.

The KH31 is also original equipment on Holden's mid sized Malibu CD.

"Manufacturers turn to Kumho for durable and reliable tyres because of the extensive range of passenger, SUV, 4x4 and light commercial tyres the company offers providing a match for every application."
