Leading tyre brand Kumho has taken its Platinum Dealer program to Hervey Bay with the opening of its latest store, Rock Bottom Tyres in Piabla.

The Kumho Platinum Dealer program is a network of independent tyre stores who demonstrate an ongoing involvement in their local community and a commitment to providing the highest levels of service and value to customers.

According to Kumho National Trade Manager Glenn Pearse, the Platinum Dealer program delivers the service and expertise tyre buyers demand.

"Motorists deserve the best advice and service without having to pay a premium price and the Platinum Dealer program is based on that principle," said Glenn Pearse.

"The program is centred around friendly and familiar faces that strive to offer the best deals while going above and beyond in customer service."

The Platinum Dealer program was launched in late 2011 and is now a network of more than 40 outlets Australia wide.

Rock Bottom Tyres is located at 3/79 Old Maryborough Road, Pialba and offers a range of tyre and mechanical services, off street parking and a family friendly waiting area.

Owner of Rock Bottom Tyres, Craig McCrea, said achieving Kumho Platinum Dealer status is a reward to his team's hard work and diligence.

"Kumho Platinum status is a great honour for my team because it reflects how committed we are to customer needs," said Craig McCrea.

"We believe Kumho's range of passenger, SUV and 4x4 tyres has a solution for every application at the best value and our customers clearly agree because they keep coming back."

Kumho is a proud supporter of the McGrath Foundation and holds an annual Pink Fitters Day as a fundraiser for the charity. Rock Bottom Tyres will play a key role in the 2015 event.

Since its inception in 1960, Kumho Tyre has been a model of steady growth amid dramatic changes of business landscape. Driven by innovation in management and technical development Kumho has become one of the top ten tyre companies in the world.

Kumho has succeeded in the development of superior tyres for all vehicles including high performance passenger cars, sports utilities and 4X4s as well as trucks, buses, mining vehicles and even aircraft.
