Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV is a proposition from the South Korean brand, designed for use in the summer season. It is classified in the medium segment, which means a combination of very good characteristics with an affordable price. The model is perfect for dynamic driving.
Practical tread
The tread takes care of the safety of the travellers. It shows large, smooth blocks, characteristic of summer tyres. These provide the extensive tyre contact necessary to maintain grip during dry conditions. When the weather deteriorates and there is a layer of water on the road, the circumferential grooves and the notches emerging from them gain in importance. Their job is to collect water, which isolates the wheel from the road, and then dispose of it. This reduces the risk of the car slipping due to aquaplaning. The notches on the tread have a zigzag pattern to prevent deformation and uneven abrasion of the precious rubber.
The ribs located in the central part of the tyre increase directional control, while the shoulder design contributes to traction during acceleration and braking. The advantage of the asymmetrical arrangement of the tread elements is the very good grip when cornering.
The sidewalls on the Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV have been contoured to create as little air resistance as possible when driving. For many drivers, the attractive design of the side wall, which features not only the most important information but also motorsport-related graphics, is certainly also important.
Refined interior
The inner construction with a strong yet resilient cord significantly affects the stability of the vehicle. The driver is in control of the trajectory even when travelling at high speeds. Weight was also applied to the foot, resulting in longer-lasting tyres capable of serving well for a substantial period of time.
In addition, one of the characteristic features of the model is quiet running. It translates into acoustic comfort inside the car cabin. A special insert is placed in the centre of the tyre to absorb vibrations that contribute to rolling noise.
It's worth knowing! The Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV has been designed for the Kia EV6 car, equipped with an electric motor. Its job is not only to ensure the comfort and safety of the driver but also the best performance of the car.
Kumho is a well-respected brand, categorised in the middle class. Its products are popular with drivers relying on tried and tested solutions, as well as car manufacturers looking for tyres for the initial fitment of new models.
