Kumho Tire USA has launched three new ultra-high performance tires: the Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71, the Ecsta Sport PS72 and the Ecsta Sport S PS72.
All three tires are debuting at this week's SEMA Show, which is taking place in Las Vegas, Nev.
"The Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71 is an ultra-high performance all-season tire featuring a next-generation compound technology designed to enhance grip and traction," say Kumho officials. "The tire also comes with a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty.
"The Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71 includes lateral grooves in the tread design to aid in water drainage in order to maintain performance in wet weather. Snow performance is enhanced with zig-zag grooves on the inside tread blocks.
"The tire is also comfortable and quiet, with rounded edges of the tread blocks to help minimize noise and provide comfort by dispersing impacts from the road, and also includes the proprietary K-Noise Defender dimple design to help interrupt airflow through the tire grooves and further minimize road noise.
"The new ultra-high performance summer tire, which will be available in two tread configurations across the Ecsta Sport PS72 and Ecsta Sport S PS72 lines provides maximum traction with an enhanced compound to grip the road and deliver heightened levels of performance in handling, stability, cornering and steering response."
The Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71 is available in 56 sizes, for wheels ranging from 16 inches to 21 inches in diameter. The Ecsta Sport PS72 is available in 56 sizes and the Ecsta Sport S PS72 in 42 different sizes.
“We are introducing our most technologically advanced ultra-high performance tires that set a new standard for what a high-performance tire can and should be,” says Shawn Denlein, president of sales and marketing, Kumho Tire USA.
“We are continuing to deliver superior tires with exceptional warranties at extremely competitive price points, which is what customers can and should expect from Kumho Tire.”
