Kumho Ecsta KH31 – sporty summer tire from a previous generation

The Ecsta KH31 is a sport-oriented summer tire from a previous model generation for passenger cars. It is designed for mild to warm temperatures and use on dry and wet roads. It excels in mild to warm temperatures when the tread and compound are within the intended operating range for summer road conditions. Therefore, when making your selection, it's not just the right size that matters, but also the actual use, ranging from city traffic and country roads to longer stretches of highway. The balanced concept is aimed at drivers who prioritize predictable everyday characteristics over individual extreme values.

It is suitable for summer city, country, and highway driving with a more direct steering feel. For snow and ice, a seasonal winter tire is the more appropriate choice; the change should be made in good time before winter conditions. Below winter temperatures, a summer tire loses elasticity due to its design; a timely seasonal change therefore remains safety-relevant. Tire pressure, tread depth, load, and driving style significantly influence real-world behavior and should be checked regularly.

Wide grooves support water drainage and stable tread areas support cornering; modern PS71 or PS72 technologies are not carried over. Tire pressure, tread depth, axle geometry, and driving style influence braking distance, wear, and energy consumption in real-world operation. EU label values and special features may differ between dimensions and must be checked on the specific item. Braking distance, rolling resistance, and rolling noise can differ between two visually similar dimensions and should not be generally derived from the model name. Which EU label values apply depends on the dimension, load and speed index, and the respective special version.
