,
Kumho

Kumho Tyre (UK) supported the Max Adventure team as it beat its original time target on the Driven To Extremes Euro EV Marathon.

The team knocked 47 minutes off the time set by Sir Stirling Moss in 1952, adding an extra country to the list of those visited.

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV is an original fitment on the Kia EV6, with the 235/55R19 size used by the challenge car throughout the trial.
