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

Very poorly. I have been told they will need replacing within the next month or two, outrageously soon in my opinion. One of the tyres has a leaking valve and despite being repaired is still leaking.

I have not used them in decent dry weather due to the time of year, but when the roads have dried out they have decent grip and low road noise. These tyres perform well in wet conditions including heavy rain.
