Description
The Kumho ECSTA PS71 is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) summer tire known for balancing sporty grip, handling, and wet/dry performance at a mid-range price, featuring silica compounds for traction, wide grooves for water evacuation, and reinforced construction for stability, making it popular for performance cars and SUVs, including EV-specific variants with K-Silent foam for reduced noise.
Key Features & Technologies
High-Dispersion Micro Silica (HDM): A special compound that boosts grip, improves wear, and enhances fuel efficiency.
Wet Performance: Four wide longitudinal grooves quickly channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, ensuring confident wet braking and handling.
Dry Performance: Rigid shoulder blocks and a strong center rib provide stability, responsive steering, and strong cornering grip.
Comfort & Noise: Optimized tread patterns and variable tread block sizes reduce road noise, while some sizes feature K-Silent foam for an even quieter ride (especially in EV models).
Construction: Reinforced belts and hybrid materials minimize tire flex for high-speed stability, with specific SUV versions having stronger construction for heavier loads.
EV Compatibility: Designed to support the demands of Electric Vehicles, including specific EV versions with noise-reducing technology.
