Kumho PS71 EV

The Kumho PS71 EV is a summer ultra-high-performance tyre designed for modern electric and high-torque passenger cars. It’s built to cope with the extra weight and instant acceleration typical of EVs, while still delivering the precise steering and cornering confidence drivers expect on UK A-roads and motorways.

Kumho PS71 EV tyres use an asymmetric tread pattern that balances dry grip with dependable wet-weather control. Wide circumferential grooves help move surface water away quickly to reduce the risk of aquaplaning, while carefully shaped lateral channels support consistent braking and traction in the rain. A stable outer shoulder area helps the tyre hold its line through bends and during fast lane changes.

Under the tread, a reinforced structure helps maintain a consistent contact patch, supporting even wear and steady high-speed stability. The tread design is also tuned to limit vibration, helping keep road noise and ride harshness in check—important in quieter EV cabins. Efficient running characteristics can help reduce wasted energy compared with less optimised performance tyres, without making unrealistic range claims.

This tyre is available in a wide range of popular car sizes, including larger fitments commonly used on EVs. You can buy online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, then choose fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or opt for delivery.
