Leading tyre retailer Wheels n Tyres has expanded the number of Kumho Platinum outlets adding a third dealership to its portfolio with the acquisition of existing Platinum Dealer, Tyrezone Cleveland.

Wheels n Tyres also operates the Sunshine Coast Kumho Platinum Dealership at Kunda Park and recently opened a dealer at Rutherford near Newcastle in NSW.

According to Wheels n Tyres sales director Grant Fowler, having Kumho Platinum status was a key consideration for Wheels n Tyres.

"Being an existing Kumho Platinum Dealership was a strong sign the Cleveland dealership had been successfully run and had a good customer base," said Grant Fowler.

"Wheels n Tyres is committed to providing excellent customer service and the best value for our customers and the Kumho Platinum scheme is a great way for us to achieve these promises."

"We look forward to continuing to build Kumho's reputation at our new store at Cleveland and with the great service it is already known for," he said.

Kumho national trade manager Glenn Pearse says the increased involvement from Wheels n Tyres demonstrates the strengths of the Platinum Dealer program.

"The Kumho Platinum Dealer program was set up to showcase Kumho's passenger, SUV and 4x4 tyres through professional and friendly dealers," said Glenn Pearse.

"Kumho congratulates Grant Fowler and the Wheels n Tyres team on its commitment to the Platinum Dealer program."

Kumho is a proud supporter of the McGrath Foundation and holds an annual Pink Fitters Day as a fundraiser for the charity. Wheels n Tyres will play a key role in the 2014 in which Kumho aims to raise more than $25,000.

Since its inception in 1960, Kumho Tyres has been a model of steady growth amid dramatic changes of business landscape. Driven by innovation in management and technical development Kumho has become one of the top ten tyre companies in the world.

Kumho has succeeded in the development of superior tyres for all vehicles including high performance passenger cars, sports utilities and 4X4s as well as trucks, buses, mining vehicles and even aircraft.
