e-TOPs Hybrid Tire
Hybrid concept tire
Kumho Tire R&D CenterThis product satisfies the basic performance needs of the tire and prevents puncture. In other words, it is a hybrid tire that combines a high-performance pneumatic tire with a non-pneumatic tire that does not puncture, by applying a spoke principle to a pneumatic tire. This enables the user to drive safely even when the tread has been penetrated by a foreign object, ensuring the same tire performance and safety. And tires that have been driven for a long time can be reused by replacing the tread to reduce cost and environmental pollution. For this reason, hybrid tires will be well suited in the future as technical tires for self-driving cars.
