495 Review

Kumho ECSTA PS71 is an ultra-high-performance summer tyre designed for passenger cars, saloons and sporty models. It aims to strike a good balance between grip, stability and comfort, with performance suited to both dry and wet roads.

It uses an HDMS (High Dispersible Micro-Silica) rubber compound designed to enhance grip and help reduce braking distances, while also promoting durability and mileage performance. Its design focuses on precise steering and improved stability at high speed, for dynamic driving.

Available in many sizes, the Kumho ECSTA PS71 covers different profiles and speed categories to suit the vehicle. Depending on the size chosen, the load index and speed rating may vary, which broadens compatibility with different engine outputs and uses.

Multi-purpose S-SBR application

Optimised road holding and service life on wet roads thanks to the integration of a multifunctional S-SBR.

Tread pattern design and technologies

A. Optimised tread blocks : tread pattern designed to enhance performance on dry roads and provide greater stability when driving at high speed.
B. Enlarged contact patch : increased footprint thanks to the optimisation of each rib, to improve grip and promote more even wear, particularly on wet roads.
C. Four main grooves for improved drainage : wide longitudinal grooves ensuring efficient water evacuation, in order to improve braking and road holding on wet surfaces.
D. Distinctive tread design : sport-inspired styling highlighting a high-performance positioning, with patterns reminiscent of a racing flag.
E. More durable belt : adoption of a new hybrid ply combining a steel belt and high-strength materials, contributing to better road holding and increased stability at high speed.
F. Reinforced bead : improved lateral rigidity thanks to the addition of a textile reinforcement at the sidewalls, for greater steering precision and overall stability.
