Kumho Tire USA has announced a new line-up of high-performance tires – Ecsta Sport PA71, Ecsta Sport PS72 and Ecsta Sport S PS72. The tires debuted at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas and will become available in the spring of 2025.
Kumho says that advances in AI and long-standing relationships with OEMs accelerated iterative design testing of all three tires. The Ecsta Sport PA71 is a high-performance all-season tire featuring a next-generation compound technology designed to enhance grip and traction, without sacrificing performance characteristics.
The Ecsta Sport PA71 comes with an impressive 50,000-mile (80,467km) treadwear warranty and is reportedly fully capable of handling the power output of today’s high-performance vehicles. Kumho says the tire is quiet, with rounded edges and a proprietary dimple design that helps interrupt air flow to minimize road noise.
The Ecsta Sport PS72 and Ecsta Sport S PS72 lines are high-performance summer tires that provide maximum traction with good performance in wet weather, thanks to a compound and tread design that boost water excavation. Kumho says they offer high levels of handling, stability, cornering and steering performance along with a 30,000-mile (48,280km) treadwear warranty.
The Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71 is available in 56 sizes, ranging from 16-inch to 21-inch. The Ecsta Sport PS72 is available in 56 sizes from 17-inch to 21-inch wheel diameters. The Ecsta Sport S PS72 offers 52 sizes from 18-inch to 22-inch wheel diameters.
