Product description & features

As the name suggests, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV is a tyre designed specifically for electric vehicles (EVs), and being a Kumho product, it naturally falls into the high-performance tyre category. A notable feature of this tyre is its asymmetric tread pattern. More EV manufacturers are using an ultra-high-performance (UHP) EV tyre with an asymmetric tread pattern to exploit the instantaneous torque and higher kerb weights of electric cars. The outer edge of the tyre incorporates a stiffer outer edge. It has water dispersing grooves to help displace water during rainfall, along with an outer and inner stiff edge for better directional control for rapid manoeuvres. The tyre has improved tread compound to improve rolling resistance. The inner construction helps the tyre maintain its integrity under the additional loads and stresses of heavier electric vehicles.

The tread pattern emits less noise and improves comfort during driving at higher speeds. The summer design allows it to be used in milder weather conditions (above 7 degrees Celsius). The structure supports the instant torque EVs accumulate during acceleration. The Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV is available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Electric vehicle tyre design
  • Asymmetric tread, stiffer outer edge
  • Water-dispersing grooves
  • Summer use above 7°C

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV 235/45R18 98Y XL
Changed from Michelin Primacy to these. They didn't last as long. In terms of value, I am going back to Primacy. They might be more expensive, but they last longer, which justifies the cost. Additionally, they're an overall better tyre. The Kumhos are not bad, but Michelin would be an A and Kumhos a B.
