Product description & features

Kumho has designed the Ecsta PS71 to deliver exceptional ultra-high performance, providing drivers with confidence in wet conditions and stability at high speeds. This tyre combines superior wet grip, shorter braking distances, and enhanced control for a balanced, high-performance driving experience.

These tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, and 20 inch rim sized tyres.

Improved Aquaplaning Resistance

The tire feels like it provides good grip and performance in both wet and dry conditions. I do not do much high-speed driving, mainly just on local roads. On the few occasions that I have been on a D restricted dual carriageway, it felt stable and gave me confidence.
