Kumho Ecsta PA51
This model is a premium all-season tire developed for owners of today’s high-performance vehicles to provide confident all-weather traction, responsive handling, and ride comfort.
The Ecsta PA51 comes with an innovative all-season carbon compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern that presents a larger contact patch and strengthening the inner and outer tread blocks delivers excellent cornering stability, responsive steering on the highway.
For safety reasons this model has four main circumferential grooves combined with lateral tread grooves engineered to evacuate quicker water from under the tire footprint, and respectively to increase traction in wet and wintry conditions. Due to computer-optimized design, the tire presents a large contact area that promotes grip and steering response in any weather.
Kumho’s ESCOT Casing Technology optimizes sidewall cord tension distribution to promote steering response and treadlife.
Ones of the most innovative technologies used by Kumho are:
Low Tg Modifies S-SBR improves wear and snow performance.
High Grip Resin maximizes performance on dry and wet surfaces.
Stiff Compounds increase wear and handling responsiveness.
To guarantee more durability and strength Kumho engineers use a special internal structure that features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon. The Ecsta PA51 is available from 16 to 20-inch sizes, backed by a 45,000 miles tread wear warranty. It is used as a replacement tire for many models like BMW 3, 5 Series, Subaru Impreza, Mazda 6, Lexus IS35.
