Developed for Original Equipment applications, the T121 from Kumho is a temporary/compact spare tire that lets vehicle manufacturers reduce overall vehicle weight and increase available space, as compared to standard-size spare tires. The T121 is designed to help drivers temporarily regain mobility in the event that a cut, puncture, road hazard, accident or blowout causes a flat tire. Designed only for temporary use, the tire features a smaller physical size, shallower tread depth, narrower tread, and lighter construction than the tires with which the vehicle is normally equipped.
Yes, Kumho tires are covered under a workmanship and materials warranty during their usable tread life before 6 years from the date of manufacture or purchase date (whichever comes first) for passenger, light truck, and select commercial tires, and before 5 years for most commercial truck tires. Kumho tires are also backed by a 30 Day Satisfaction Guaranteed Trial and Road Hazard Protection on select lines.
Kumho tires could be made at one of the company's three facilities in South Korea, or in China or Vietmnam.
