The summer tire Kumho Ecsta W700 is designed for compact passenger cars. It is recommended by the manufacturer for use exclusively on racing tracks. It represents a "rain" sports tire, distinguished by reliable traction properties on wet pavement.
The tread pattern is made in a V-shaped design with numerous blocks. Massive deformation-resistant elements provide reliable traction and precise handling. The multidirectionality of the drainage grooves, their large number, and the direction of some of them against the direction of travel allow maintaining these properties even on wet pavement due to extremely intense water diversion from the contact patch.
Key features of Kumho Ecsta W700
- numerous drainage grooves effectively combat hydroplaning at any speed;
- rigid tread blocks and an optimized tread profile provide reliable traction and precise handling;
- an elastic rubber compound with a reduced warm-up time to "operating" temperature.
