March 2009

Going from Strength to Strength
The ongoing development of the Infinity brand continues to go from strength to strength in 2009 with further enhancements to the range of sizes offered in PCR, UHP, 4X4 and LT tyres, which already have the new noise certification S marking required by European law for sale after 1st October 2009.
A new INF 200 pattern for SUV/4X4 has recently been introduced with 10 sizes now available, and with further sizes to be added later in the year.

Enjoying Rave Reviews
Kumho products have fared excellently in the latest tyre test carried out by leading German magazine Auto Zeitung and won a major award from another respected German publication - Off Road.

New Competus H/L 4x4 Tyre
Lassa tyres, made by Brisa (joint venture between Bridgestone and Sabanci Holdings) in Turkey, have launched a brand new 4x4 tyre into the UK and European markets.
Available from March in 10 sizes, the H-rated Competus H/L is designed to give drivers the comfort and luxury of a touring passenger car, whilst naturally retaining the style and character of their 4 x 4.
Aimed at the replacement market, the tyre is suitable for many 4x4 vehicles - Chrysler, Volvo, Hyundai, Suzuki, Nissan, and Daihatsu. Thorough testing of the tyre has proved its capability and durability in both wet and dry conditions, and also its suitability for partial off-road usage.
Martin West, Lassa's International Marketing Director, commented: "The new Competus H/L gives us a vastly improved segmentation within the growing 4x4 market. Sitting along side our current 4x4 tyres, our range now represents excellent value and excellent quality."
