Kumho Ecsta PS71

OVERVIEW

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

This tire offers excellent summer weather traction. It combines the asymmetric tread design and the durable summer compound to increase dry and wet weather grip. The asymmetric tread’s ideal pattern maintains the road grip during the drive, while the compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area. The tread’s wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. These grooves disperse water from below the footprint maintaining the surface contact and increasing wet weather safety.

The tread design and compound offer great high speed performance. The tread design keeps better surface contact, which promotes excellent controllability. The durable compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area during the high speed performance. At the same time, the reinforced internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure and does not allow the tire to deform at high speeds. These elements significantly improve driving durability and handling power.

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 enhances controllability. This asymmetric tread design and road contact boost steering responsiveness. In other words, it improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. In this manner, the siping detail and the large shoulder blocks also increase cornering and maneuvering even at high speeds. The shoulder blocks grip the road surface all the time, while the siping detail shortens the braking distance. As a result, this model guarantees the drivers full control over the vehicle.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
