Product description & features

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 focuses on wet braking and transverse water movement with their resin compound that has a high grip on damp surfaces. The asymmetric tread pattern has four large longitudinal grooves that help channel water away from the tyre. Cornering is enhanced by the solid blocks on the outer edge of the tread. The 3D Block Design from Kumho allows the tread to remain stable during high speed driving and load.

The casing has been reinforced to support the tread when under load. As a summer tyre, it has been designed to be functional when the temperature is above approximately 7 degrees Celsius. The Ecsta PS71 SUV is a model designed for higher weight vehicles and a construction designed specifically for SUV usage. At Tyres.co.uk, we stock the Kumho Ecsta PS71.

Highlights

  • Wet grip resin compound
  • Four wide water channels
  • Solid outer tread blocks

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 225/35R18 87Y XL
If you take some corners quickly, you will notice you can go much faster than before because the tyres have better traction, and steer much more responsively due to the sensitivity in the steering during dynamic mode. The tyres also absorb rough roads such as bumps and potholes.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 225/35R18 87Y XL
As always, fantastic. Wouldn't pick anything else. This is the fourth car we've put these tyres on.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 225/35R18 87Y XL
I am somewhat satisfied. It's quieter, has better grip, but I'm not sure about better fuel economy. The front driver's side tyre appears to deflate a couple pounds every week.
