Read the retailer’s description

Supplied by mytyres.co.uk. These are the retailer’s product claims, not independent test findings from Tyres Compared.

Kumho Ecsta PS31 Designed to take any driver to the next level, the Ecsta PS31 proves that a perfect balance of high-speed stability, low road noise and safety can be achieved in a tire. SPECIAL FEATURES A solid center rib and stylish lateral grooves reinforce block stiffness and improve wet breaking. Wide lateral grooves maximize water displacement when cornering and prevent irregular wear due to the 0-10 degree angle range. Wide four-channel circumferential grooves improve hydroplaning resistance. 3D dimple design minimizes heat build-up on tread blocks, enhancing high-speed durability. Microgrooves with diagonal siping allow water to drain efficiently to avoid hydroplaning. The sidewall's racing-inspired checkered design communicates the tire's ultra-high performance capabilities. SAMPLE VEHICLES Audi A4; BMW 3 Series; Ford Mustang; Mini Cooper; Nissan 270 Z; Subaru BRZ.
