Product description & features
Developed by Kumho, the Ecsta Le Sport KU39 high performance tyre is ideal for mid-class and executive vehicles as well as sports cars.
The Ecsta Le Sport KU39 was designed with a "in-out" tread pattern, which ensures that any surface water is removed from the path of the tyre quickly to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
The tyre's carcass construction has been optimised to ensure that the tyre remains stable when travelling at high speeds - delivering a comfortable and controlled driving experience.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
