The all-season tire Kumho Ecsta 4X KU22 belongs to the premium class and is designed for installation on a wide range of passenger cars, including sedans, wagons, crossovers, and even minivans. Such versatility was achieved through the release in the most popular sizes, the diversity of which is constantly being replenished.
The model is equipped with an asymmetric non-directional tread, which is distinguished by a high degree of adaptability to various operating conditions. Its outer zone is represented by numerous blocks and special lamellas that increase the stability of the vehicle when performing maneuvers. At the same time, it minimizes lateral displacement and maintains control over the car. This design has also had a positive effect on maintaining traction on wet and snowy road surfaces.
In the center of the tread, there is a solid rib, on the surface of which there is also a series of notches. Thanks to it, the management has been significantly improved at various speed modes, and the traction forces on the slippery road have been increased.
Special attention should be paid to the drainage system, which is represented by four large ring channels that have direct contact with the external environment through the side grooves in the shoulder area. Thanks to this, the efficiency of cleaning the contact area has been achieved, and slushing and aquaplaning have been minimized.
The tire compound contains a siliceous component, which provides a high degree of adaptability to various temperature modes. This is reflected in the preservation of rubber elasticity, both at low and elevated temperatures. The result is the maintenance of working properties in any weather.
Among the strong points of the model, one can also highlight the acoustic comfort, which was achieved through a special arrangement of tread elements. Between them, no air whirlpools are formed, which cause the formation of extraneous noises. Therefore, in the car's cabin, a pleasant atmosphere is always maintained, regardless of the speed mode.
