Kumho 2268653 Ecsta PS31 195/50R15 82V Ultra High Performance Summer Tire

The Kumho Ecsta PS31 is an ultra-high performance summer tire engineered for sports sedans, sporty coupes, and performance-oriented passenger vehicles. Designed to deliver a precise balance of high-speed stability, low road noise, and confident wet-weather safety, the PS31 raises the bar for drivers who demand more from their tires.

Built around a high-technology summer compound featuring High Dispersible Micro Silica and High Grip Resin, the Ecsta PS31 promotes even silica distribution across the contact patch for enhanced dry and wet traction in all warm-weather conditions. As a dedicated summer tire, it is not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions.

Key Features:

• Solid Center Rib: Reinforces block stiffness and improves high-speed stability, delivering a firm, consistent contact patch and precise steering response
• Wide Lateral Grooves: Maximize water displacement during cornering; optimized 0–10 degree angle range prevents irregular tread wear
• Four Wide Circumferential Grooves: Improve hydroplaning resistance by rapidly channeling water away from the footprint
• 3D Dimple Design: Minimizes heat build-up in tread blocks, enhancing durability and supporting sustained high-speed performance
• Diagonal Microgrooves with Siping: Work in conjunction with main grooves to efficiently drain water and further resist hydroplaning
• Directional Tread Pattern: Optimized for high-speed control and responsive handling
• Racing-Inspired Checkered Sidewall: Bold aesthetic design that communicates the tire's ultra-high performance character
