Just bought four new Kumho tires for my wife's car about a month ago and then stumbled across this video.

All of that magnificent production technology and they left the most important thing out. Stamp the max tire inflation pressure in BIG PRINT. BTW, every tire manufacturer fails to do this as well. The important info is in tiny print.
Thank you for posting this. I work for a tire manufacturer in the United States. There is no automation, everything is done by people. I enjoyed watching this.
Yep its also why American made tire are so bloody expensive.. and because American made tires are done with union hands they cant compete price wise on a world market. If I was Goodyear or firestone CEO. .. every domestic factory would be automated.
I've heard Vietnam is booming economically. A lot of the rubber production is in SE Asia so makes sense to have the factories there. Thanks you've documented the process well here.
my friend told me years ago that's what the Vietnam war was over rubber, and I thought he was BS he was drafted and he went through basic training and his battalion was going to Vietnam he split and he stayed gone until he knew it was safe to come home
Worked at General Tire in the 70s. This video looks nothing like our plant did. Key things I remember are dirt and noise of the banbury’s, the smell of the rubber, the bandaged fingers of the tire builders, the heat and steam of the curing room. An occasional blowing of the bladders in the curing presses. Fond memories in a way. I found this video really interesting!
I worked at Firstone tire and rubber in Des Moines Iowa from 1966 to 1986 I built passenger tires then tractor tires and finally earth moving tires It is very hard to see everything automated and not having all the tire builders no longer. Very sad in a way. I loved my 20 years that i put in and it was hard work but pay was great.

The black color of the tires comes from very fine carbon powder to provide wear resistance property. At end of each shift we looked like comingout from a coal mine. There are a lots more chemical and the rubber sheets each has different property for the side, tread and around the rim. It is good to see modern factory there now. Thank you for the video
I'm floored by how clean their mixing department is. Haven't been in the tire business in 11 years and I'm pretty sure I'm still cleaning carbon black out my nose and ears 😂😂😂

Great video, beautiful tires, amazing factory, so quiet & clean! I spoke with a tire expert long ago who told me it's very difficult to make a perfect tire. This factory makes it look easy!
Very interesting comment! I've consistently gotten better results with off-brands like Mohave and Hercules than name brand tires like Michelin and Firestone. This surprises me. You've shed a little light on the mystery. FWIW I may shop for Kumho tires next time.
I remember the ancient machinery they used back in the 40s and 50s. It was all hard work and stifling heat. Can one imagine the making of the machinery in this video. Amazing.
I’m sure a lot more people too. Jobs for people who needed them. Not a single worker in the process here. Not good compared to the 40s. When we made stuff and those people could be middle class
I bought Kumho light truck tyres for my Ford Ute. Good load rating and better traction on wet roads than I expected from a less expensive tyre. Very happy with them, as I drive every day and need a good load rating for carting soil and mulch for the gardens on the weekends
Excellent! Not thinking of doom and gloom, but it made me think how important the outside supply links are for the raw materials needed for these manufacturing companies, disrupt that flow the company's in trouble, there's a fine line there.😎
The $tuff looks TOP $HELF , likely Germany or $wiss....NOT JUNK from Canada , ask Geza Foods Brantford how they liked their new palletizer from Mississauga Ont....LOL.....U.K RUBBI$H !
in manufacturing as large as this, there is usually an internal group of Industrial, Mechanical and Electrical engineers who design the layout and equipment. Most of the components are purchased and some are custom made. Once the design is set and components are decided, another set of trademen assemble and set up the equipment in place with guidance of the engineers.
An even greater wonder: Who made the people who made the equipment that makes the tires? What an amazing Creator we have, who has made the people who can make such things!
learnt a lot from this video , i sell and install hundreds of tires i always wondered how these things are manufactured, and how tires sustains all the road conditions and carry tons of human and steel on top , its an eye opener KUMHO is great tire i always recommend it
Nice to see a process I've always been curious about laid out in front of me. The Vietnamese factory is impressively clean. The tires are also made in the home of the business, South Korea and also the U.S. I also liked seeing some of the comments below talking about the quality and reliability of the Kumho tires. Why? The Can-Am Spyder RT I bought last August came with three new Kumho tires on it and I do like to make my motorcycles earn their keep so good rubber is a must. The bluidy alloy rims seep a bit of air as they are wont to do but the tires have performed spectacularly so far. Also, Bombardier recommends Kumhos as replacements and supplies them as standard on their new vehicles. The ABS, traction control, skid control and the single pedal computer-controlled braking are set to use them best. The whole machine is fly-by-wire with a 1,000cc fuel-injected 100hp Rotax engine. Bombardier liked the Rotax engines so much they bought the company over in Austria. A good Canadian/Austrian touring machine made in Canada about 250 km from where I live...with quality Asian tires to boot. Now if the dang weather would smarten up....
As a former auto mechanic I can say that mixing brands of tires on a vehicle with traction control can cause havoc on a traction control system. Same stated size but slightly different.
@@maxwellcrazycat9204 Mixing brands...absolutely. But what if I change all three to stickies? Will that make the computer go cross-eyed? Would the change of compound make a difference?

Damn! I'm riding on Chinese rubber. I boycott China totally. Now I have to find a brand that will work that is not profiting a dicktator.
That is an amazingly complex process with most of it automated. That one machine that took a rubber circle and in one final step, stamped the tread and other markings but you couldn't see what was going on inside - then out popped a finished tire. Really impressive.
The "green" tyre is put into a mold and the rubber bladder inside got pressurised with steam to around 10-20 bar (atmospheres) and the tyre sink in to the inside of the mold and vulkanizes under heat, probably around 160-200 deg C. I guess it would take 10-20 minutes for a car tyre. A really big and thick tyre take many many hours. You can see the inside of mold that hold all the shapes that imprints on the tyre.
very interesting process for good quality of tires. Wow fully automatic factory! This video teaches me that the factory movement to Vietnam is not only because of labor cost in Korea, but also because the natural rubber material is still used. I just have thought that all the tire raw matetial is coming from any by-product during the petroleum process.
France used to have hundreds of rubbers plantations in Vietnam in the early 1900 for their Michelin tires company, nowadays there are less rubbers plantations because of the population grow and people need lands to live
This factory is cleaner than most British food manufacturing facilities. I like the way that the plastic wrapping on raw-materials in incorporated into the product.
I used to work at this Kumho factory in the industrial park of Vietnam Singapore VSIP ii Binh Duong Vietnam a while ago, now watching the video, I miss the memories of that time so much.
@@Lacronh No. The answer is not correct. It is soaping liquid, that help to mount tire in the rim so that any measurement of tire can be carried out. For example, Geometry and Uniformity.
Excellent video showing tire production from raw material to finished product. Quality control in this plant is unbelievable. Vietnam produces some fine products today !
Here in Argentina, we have a factory that uses almost the same system, not as updated. I have worked in it for 34 years but in Energy Services. The factory is called FATE (Argentine Factory of Glued Fabrics). I like this video.
Fascinating how automation has been applied. Next challenge is disposing of tires after their useful life is ended. Thanks fot the video so informative.
I was an assessor who had been to the Bridgestone-Firestone Tire plant many years ago, so I certainly appreciate this excellent video. The plant was over 57 acres under a single roof. The largest tire made was 12 feet in diameter for mining trucks.
I worked for the Armstrong Rubber Co. in 1953 as a maintenance mechanic. They made tires for Sears Roebuck (All-State Tires) I assure you the tire builders worked like crazy because of piece work rates and it was blazing hot in the heater room where they cooked the tires. I'm 95 but remember well.
The white liquid is a lube and helps seal the tire when they "force" or check for the high spot of the tire hence the pink dot on the side of the tire. This is matched up to the rim when the tire is mounted on a rim.
Ngạc nhiên khi hôm nay lại thấy video này, tôi làm trong nghành sản xuất cao su tự nhiên ở bộ phận kiểm soát chất lượng (quality control).

I love watching how things are made it is so interesting. I recently had to buy new tires for my car it is hard to believe so much work goes into making them.
Same. Bought tires last week. They were expensive but now I appreciate the time and engineering that went into them. As I drive my car tomorrow, I’ll be thankful of everyone and everything that helped make it possible.
Times are changing. The old tire companies will not change on their own. Like resisting the radial tire design. Many tire plants are ran until the machines fall apart. So quiet and clean, how long has this plant been in operation it looks very new. I did not see the X-Ray machines, just run-out force machines? 😎 Great video. Thanks.
I don't suppose this production line is particularly complex in the world of manufacturing, but even with this, it is amazing how humans can design and construct, and interconnect long chains of machines like this.
@@ekop1778 If you do a bit of research, you'll find that Kumho tires are very highly rated. And they're proud enough of their product that they are willing to allow someone into their manufacturing facility to film the whole process. Do you find any of the major tire brands allowing filmed factory tours?
Interesting. I was a Deputy Sheriff in Nevada and we used Kumho speed rated tires on out Police Interceptors because they are way cheaper than the Goodyear Eagles. We would put about 40-50k on them before we had to change them out. Would often have times where we would drive at 130MPH for 100 mile stretches and never had an issue with them. When we first went with the tires we were mounting them on a rim and I saw they were made in Vietnam. I was mounting them for another deputy who happened to be a Vietnam Vet and he was “Well they couldn’t get me then, so this is how they are going to get me”.
@@davidjacobs8558 Not exactly along side but they were definitely there and their "rules of engagement" were to shot and kill anything that moved (i.e. take no prisoners).
Wow that was really interesting. So different from what I expected. I always thought for example that the profile was cut out by a machine somehow 🤔 And good to see all the quality control 👌
never believe in Vietnamese technology, under the rule of uneducated communists, people have no knowledge, because communists want people without such knowledge to easily rule .

Kumho Factory in korea produce more premium tires. Like majesty 9
korea is relative with vietnam,, Vietnamese people have minor Haplogroup O2b in their DNA that's found in Koreans
Excellent video showing tire production from raw material to finished product. Quality control in this plant is unbelievable. Vietnam produces some fine products today !

Excelente Pneus, esta marca esta presente aqui no BRASIL tambem.. That's really a beautiful well run well maintained manufacturing facility !!.
Here in Argentina, we have a factory that uses almost the same system, not as updated. I have worked in it for 34 years but in Energy Services. The factory is called FATE (Argentine Factory of Glued Fabrics). I like this video.
I use Kumho tires on all my cars … they’re amazing!

WOW! that is an amazing process! We appreciate the hard work the Korean people put into making these tires. Thank you for sharing this great video!
Fascinating how automation has been applied. Next challenge is disposing of tires after their useful life is ended.
Thanks fot the video so informative.
I was an assessor who had been to the Bridgestone-Firestone Tire plant many years ago, so I certainly appreciate this excellent video. The plant was over 57 acres under a single roof. The largest tire made was 12 feet in diameter for mining trucks.
I’m a big fan of Kumho tires, I put them on my C300.
Thanks for this!
It's strange when you are impressed both by the thing being manufactured and curious how the machines making them is made 😮
I’d almost consider buying them, now.
I'm sporting at least one set of Kumhos on one of my cars now. Always been impressed with them.
Couple of the tires shown were even the right size! :D
The tire factory here in Japan is not so organized and safe. Congrats Kunho!!!!
😂 welke fabriek in japan werk zelf ook in een bandenfabriek vredestein
High technology very modern way very good well done. Sign of a developed nation.
You don't really think that the Vietnamese invented and created these machines and this tire making technology do you?
Very well done video of the tire building process. I worked for a tire company for 25 years.
I worked for the Armstrong Rubber Co. in 1953 as a maintenance mechanic. They made tires for Sears Roebuck (All-State Tires) I assure you the tire builders worked like crazy because of piece work rates and it was blazing hot in the heater room where they cooked the tires. I'm 95 but remember well.
Do you know what the white liquid was at 16:00 that was rolled onto the inner rim and why?
The white liquid is a lube and helps seal the tire when they "force" or check for the high spot of the tire hence the pink dot on the side of the tire. This is matched up to the rim when the tire is mounted on a rim.

By the way pretty good tires I had a winter tire KUMHO lasted pretty long 5-6 seasons

Ngạc nhiên khi hôm nay lại thấy video này, tôi làm trong nghành sản xuất cao su tự nhiên ở bộ phận kiểm soát chất lượng (quality control). Cảm ơn vì đã làm video này tại Việt Nam, tỉnh Bình Dương cũng là một nơi có nhiều nhà máy cao su tự nhiên, mọi người có thể nhìn thấy dây chuyền máy móc hiện đại nhưng công nhân nhà máy cũng khá vất vả và những nơi này sẽ có mùi khá khó chịu cho những người mới đặt chân đến.
Very true.

Imagine working in that factory, the smell and the noise 😢. Hats off to those workers!
I love watching how things are made it is so interesting. I recently had to buy new tires for my car it is hard to believe so much work goes into making them.
I make cat.
Same. Bought tires last week. They were expensive but now I appreciate the time and engineering that went into them. As I drive my car tomorrow, I’ll be thankful of everyone and everything that helped make it possible.
Times are changing. The old tire companies will not change on their own. Like resisting the radial tire design. Many tire plants are ran until the machines fall apart.
So quiet and clean, how long has this plant been in operation it looks very new. I did not see the X-Ray machines, just run-out force machines? 😎 Great video. Thanks.
not wrong, I work at toyo as a tire builder and I can confirm you run it till it breaks.
Automatic machine,機器全自動化，生產效率高
타이어는 금호지 👍
3 months ago bought 4 Marshall tyres, the cheaper version of Kumho, satisfied.
I don't suppose this production line is particularly complex in the world of manufacturing, but even with this, it is amazing how humans can design and construct, and interconnect long chains of machines like this.
HAAA KUOMO TIRE
BETTER ALLWAYS
YEA RIGHT
PROBABLY LASTS MONTH BEFORE BLOWUP
Yeah these factory machines are more powerful 😪
Amazing how few humans are involved in the process!
@@ekop1778 If you do a bit of research, you'll find that Kumho tires are very highly rated. And they're proud enough of their product that they are willing to allow someone into their manufacturing facility to film the whole process. Do you find any of the major tire brands allowing filmed factory tours?
one of those videos you don't want to end!

I have bought Kumho tyres for many years on many vehicles. Very good quality imho.
Tek kelimeyle muhteşem tüm çalışanların ellerine sağlık iyi çalışmalar diliyorum sizlere 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍👍
Interesting. I was a Deputy Sheriff in Nevada and we used Kumho speed rated tires on out Police Interceptors because they are way cheaper than the Goodyear Eagles.
We would put about 40-50k on them before we had to change them out. Would often have times where we would drive at 130MPH for 100 mile stretches and never had an issue with them.
When we first went with the tires we were mounting them on a rim and I saw they were made in Vietnam. I was mounting them for another deputy who happened to be a Vietnam Vet and he was “Well they couldn’t get me then, so this is how they are going to get me”.
This is Korean company in Vietnam. Dont worry.
@@brianhlee4781 Korean soldiers fought along side US in Vietnam War.
@@davidjacobs8558 Not exactly along side but they were definitely there and their "rules of engagement" were to shot and kill anything that moved (i.e. take no prisoners).
Just loved watching the step-by-step technical process. I can imagine how dangerous all the fumes coming off the molds.
ベトナムには 安全と品質管理を第一に製造業で発展して欲しい
Amazing process. Great video ! 👍
Wow that was really interesting. So different from what I expected. I always thought for example that the profile was cut out by a machine somehow 🤔 And good to see all the quality control 👌
@Far Window Damm man, the title did say Vietnam Tire Factory. 🤣
@farwindow kumhotire vietnam plant
never believe in Vietnamese technology, under the rule of uneducated communists, people have no knowledge, because communists want people without such knowledge to easily rule .
Yeah, me too. I though it was cutout but now I see it's actually molded.
Very clean factory !
Very impressed especially with the marking process on the tire for future balancing 😊😊
I didn't know there is such a colored mark on my tire
It’s the high or low spot for road force. Not sure which but one of those. It’s to match mount to your wheel to improve overall uniformity
I could sit there all day watching those lines get painted
I'm really surprised how clean the factory is, I always assumed a tire factory would be a dirty place to work in
It used to be.
