The Mid Ohio School: Kumho Tires

Last week I got a chance to attend the Mid Ohio School in Lexington OH, thanks to the folks at Kumho Tire. The Acura High Performance Driving Course is great for any driver to learn new skills and sharpen old ones. The instructors are some of the best in the industry and include Speed Channel commentator Brian Till.
The cars are outfitted on a variety of Kumho tires, including the SOLUS KH16, the ECSTA SPT, the ECSTA MX and the ECSTA V710. Kumho uses the partnership as an opportunity to utilize The Mid-Ohio School for testing, training days, ride and drive programs, media and public relations activities. The day we were there, two American Le Mans racing teams that use Kumho tires were testing on the track.
The most amazing program at the school is the Honda Teen Defensive Driving Program is the school’s most popular and significant, as over 8,000 teens have participated since its inception in 1993. The Knox County Juvenile Court reports a 76% reduction in second-time traffic offenses for teens it sends to the Honda Teen Defensive Driving Program. Also, it is a great way to introduce teens to brands and products like CORSA exhaust system, Performance Friction Brakes and Kumho tires.
