Kumho Ecsta 4X II 205/55R15, All Season, Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: High speed controllability; All weather traction; Comfortable performance; Kumho Ecsta 4X II TiresThe Kumho Ecsta 4X II is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire increases the controllability throughout the performance. The tread pattern's stiff tread blocks and the maintained road contact improve the high speed steering responsiveness and the driving stability. These tread elements ensure the tire's quicker and more precise steering response with the better road contact, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The stiffer tread blocks avoid tread flexing and optimize the tread area to enhance the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. These elements boost the driver's control over the vehicle at all times. The wider tire footprint, the asymmetric tread design and the all season compound increase the all weather traction. These elements improve the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The wider footprint and the optimal elements of the asymmetric tread pattern enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface at all times. On the other hand, the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter situations. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, further improving the wet weather driving safety levels. The Kumho Ecsta 4X II's optimal comfort levels are ensured with the larger tire footprint and the optimal tread design. The ideal footprint enables the tire to closely follow the road surface throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire greatly lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin by absorbing the shock of driving. The tread's variable pitch sequence helps to minimize the road and tread pattern noise levels heard by the passengers. The variable pitch pattern generates a sound-cancelling frequency that negates the soundwaves before they can reach the vehicle's cabin. This results in a quiet and comfortable driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
