The Kumho Ecsta HM KH31 is a high-performance summer tyre that prioritises wet-road control. Its construction includes a silica-based tread compound along with a directional tread pattern designed to combat aquaplaning. The Ecsta HM KH31 features vertically-aligned grooves that transport water from the tyre contact patch. Water is then directed to the tyre edges by V-shaped channeling construction. The outer corner blocks have a large, continuous carving to provide additional cornering support.
The tread surface features fine rubber slits that provide enhanced cornering support in wet conditions. The ecsta HM KH31 features block patterns with various noise-reduction spacings. The K1 markings printed onto the sidewalls identify that specific production runs of the Ecsta HM KH31 were made to fit Mercedes-Benz vehicles (rather than just clearance fitting). The Kumho Ecsta HM KH31 is a summer tyre designed for use in ambient temperatures above 7 degrees Celsius. Kumho Ecsta HM KH31 tyres are available for purchase from Tyres.co.uk.
