The target audience of the Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 summer tire is the owners of dynamic modifications of passenger cars. The model stands out for its pronounced sporty handling, braking efficiency on dry and wet surfaces, directional stability at high speed, as well as durability and resistance to damage.
As befits a flagship model, the tire's tread is made from a compound containing a package of functional polymers. These substances improve braking efficiency, both on dry and wet surfaces, with little difference in intensity under such conditions. It is worth noting the use of two compounds in the tread. The inner side is made from a more "rigid" rubber mixture, which improves handling accuracy and directional stability during straight-line movement. The outer part of the tread has greater elasticity, which adds grip when maneuvering. These features are further enhanced by the design of the asymmetric tread pattern. Its central part contains a rigid, massive longitudinal rib, which increases directional stability at high speed. In turn, the deformation-resistant blocks on the edges of the tread improve traction and handling when cornering.
Another important feature of the tire is the single-layer structure of the carcass and reinforced sidewalls. This solution significantly reduces the weight of the tire, and in combination with the stiffness of these components, reduces rolling resistance and wear, making this model suitable for use in passenger cars with "hybrid" and electric powertrains.
Key features of the Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72
- rubber compound with a package of special polymers improves braking efficiency on dry and wet surfaces;
- asymmetric tread with inner and outer parts of different elasticity provides balanced driving properties, ensuring a high level on any speed;
- lightweight single-layer carcass structure and reinforced sidewalls reduce the weight of the tire, improving handling and reducing rolling resistance and wear
