The Pattern
Ecsta PS71

Ultra-high-performance tyre built for strong wet grip and confident handling on fast road cars.

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 is an ultra-high-performance tyre for saloons, hatchbacks and sports cars. It uses a high-dispersion micro-silica compound and an asymmetric tread to deliver sharp steering and short braking distances. Independent tests consistently rate its aquaplaning resistance and wet grip highly, so it suits drivers who want dependable control in the rain. Reinforced sidewalls add stability at speed, making it a well-priced alternative to premium performance tyres.

  • High-dispersion micro-silica compound for grip and braking
  • Asymmetric tread pattern for responsive handling
  • Strong aquaplaning resistance and wet-weather grip
