The Korean company Kumho, which has been on the market for automotive tires for over fifty years and has long established itself as one of the best manufacturers of sports tires, presents the Ecsta 711 model. This is a summer tire of the "premium-sport" class, developed specifically for sports cars and sedans. It is designed to provide its owner with maximum comfort at the highest speed, full control over dry and wet roads. The speed index of this tire is W, which means it can accelerate up to 270 kilometers per hour.
Its unique, specially developed rubber compound, in addition to silicone components, includes silicon. Its mass fraction in the tire was intentionally increased for excellent traction on any road, increased tire durability, and good handling.
The tread pattern design of the Kumho Ecsta 711 provides a uniform load on different parts of the tire, which guarantees, first, high-quality traction with the road surface, and second, due to uniform wear, extends the life of the tire. Additionally, the tread pattern has a directional character, which further improves traction with the track.
Another feature of this tire is its robust carcass: a steel breaker with a double nylon layer, plus additional stiffness ribs and a rigid central rib, collectively provide high tire strength and its instantaneous response to driver commands.
Finally, this tire is designed in such a way that another strong side of it is high-quality water drainage, which is achieved with the help of wide ring-shaped channels and symmetrical grooves. So, the risk of aquaplaning is extremely low, which is especially important, considering the high-speed driving character that involves the use of Kumho Ecsta 711. Traction with a wet road surface and confident handling even at the fastest movement will undoubtedly please the owners of this tire. The latter is also contributed by the lateral lamellas with a unidirectional arrangement.
In summary, it should be said that this tire will be a good choice for fans of aggressive driving and connoisseurs of sharp turns at maximum speeds.
