Kumho Tyre announced it is supplying original equipment (OE) tyres for the redesigned 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan that replaces the Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country (Grand Voyager for export).
The Solus TA31, the OE tyre for the Pacifica, is an all-season premium touring tyre that, Kumho claims, "offers great in-car comfort and driving performance. The Solus TA31's unique tread block and pattern substantially reduces road noise and the reinforced block offers exceptional handling and braking on dry roads, which translates into excellent ride comfort."
