Leading tyre manufacturer Kumho has established a specialist truck and commercial vehicle tyre dealer network covering the entire country with the Kumho Select Truck Tyre Network.

Kumho's Select Truck Tyre Network has 80 specialist commercial, heavy-duty vehicle tyre dealers across Australia, all offering strong technical support, re-treading capabilities and commercial vehicle knowledge.

According to Harvey Hawes, manager of truck and commercial tyres at Kumho Tyres Australia, the Select Truck Tyre dealer network offers commercial vehicle operators the convenience of a trusted network offering the entire Kumho commercial vehicle tyre range along with the expertise and knowledge to meet the demands of today's heavy vehicle operation.

"It's important for commercial vehicle operators to be able to access a specialist truck tyre dealer who understands the needs of commercial operators no matter where that might be in Australia," said Harvey Hawes.

"All of our Kumho Select Truck Tyre dealers around Australia understand trucks and truck tyres and the importance of keeping trucks on the road and minimising downtime."

The Kumho Select Truck Tyre network allows operators to have truck tyres fitted at any Kumho Select Truck Tyre dealer and bill them to their company's Kumho account, making it easier for drivers to keep the rig rolling no matter where they are in Australia.

"There is nothing more frustrating or costly to business than having a vehicle stranded with a tyre issue.

"Kumho Select is structured around operators and is all about providing convenient, expert service for Kumho truck tyre customers around Australia," Harvey Hawes added.
