Kumho Ecsta PS31
This model is a Performance Summer tire developed especially for sports coupes, performance sedans, and luxury CUVs to provide excellent adherence, precise steering, and responsive handling.
The Kumho Ecsta PS31 comes with an innovative summer tread compound featuring high dispersible micro-silica and high grip Resin to enhance dry and wet traction, handling responsiveness and even the road stability. This model presents a directional tread pattern combined with a solid center rib for improved high-speed stability and a 3D dimple design for more durability and a longer lifespan.
Computer-optimized lateral groove angles manage irregular wear while maximizing water displacement during wet-weather cornering. For safety reasons, it has four wide circumferential main grooves combined with diagonal-sipe microgrooves to evacuate water from the footprint for hydroplaning resistance.
To increase strength and durability this tire has special internal construction that presents a two-ply polyester casing beneath twin wide, steel belts and two full layer nylon cap plies. The Kumho Ecsta PS31 is available from 15 to 18-inch sizes, in V and W-speed rating. It is used as a replacement tire for Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Ford Mustang, Mini Cooper, Nissan 370Z, and many other models.
