Kumho stock in the UAE comes mainly from South Korea, Vietnam and China. Because Kumho is a fast-moving brand here, DOT dates are usually recent, but always check: 2026 stamped on the sidewall would mean week 20 of 2026. Kumho is a sensible choice for second cars, fleet sedans and older vehicles where the budget is tight. For heavy 4x4s used on sand, choose the Road Venture AT52 rather than road-only Crugen tyres.
