About This Tire

The Kumho Ecsta Sport 245/40R17 is a summer tire, designed for luxury car, sporty coupe, and performance sedan drivers who prioritize precision handling and responsive performance in both wet and dry conditions. Its asymmetric tread design and dedicated summer compound focus on maximizing grip, high-speed stability, and water evacuation capabilities.

The tire features a solid center rib for enhanced stability during high-speed driving, paired with a robust outboard shoulder that provides the stiffness needed for aggressive cornering. Four circumferential main grooves work alongside optimized lateral grooves to evacuate water effectively, while the two-ply polyester casing construction supports the tire's performance-oriented design. Driver feedback indicates strong wet and dry traction capabilities, with good comfort levels and respectable treadwear characteristics for an ultra-high performance summer tire.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance and handling precision over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily commuting in warm weather conditions.
