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 255/40R17 94Y
Initially, the tyres were fitted during pleasant weather, and they impressed us with their grip and silence. They were much better than the cheap ones we had before. Now, with the cold snap, they are also handling brilliantly with ice, so we look forward to seeing how they will do when the snow comes.

The tyres provide excellent grip which instills me with confidence managing corners and driving in wet conditions - a must in Scotland!

I'm really pleased with these. A family member recommended these, so I've now placed them on every wheel.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17 94Y
Although the performance is a little noisy on some roads, its mobility is good in all weather conditions. It has good grip on the road.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17 94Y
Overall, I feel fairly positive about their performance, but I have another set of wheels with winter tyres fitted.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17 94Y
Provides a sense of security during the recent seriously wet winter conditions, and it significantly reduces the noise of the road. This brand didn't come to mind before, but I will certainly consider it first when the time comes to replace the tyres.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17 94Y
I have been impressed with these tyres. I commute to work driving on country roads that have muddy areas from nearby fields, and that have many potholes. These tyres look very solid and are performing exceptionally well.

They performed brilliantly even during the heavy snowfall we had in January and had no issues in wet or dry conditions.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17 94Y
Very disappointed with these. The grip was fine at first but the fronts were down to the wear markers in well under ten thousand miles, and one of them was wearing unevenly across the tread from early on. For the money I expected a lot more life out of them. I will not be buying this tyre again.
