The Ecsta XS (eXtreme Street) is Kumhos Extreme Performance
Summer tire developed for passionate driving enthusiasts looking to
make the most of their vehicles capabilities in competition, at the
track or on the street. The Ecsta XS is designed to deliver Kumho's
ultimate level of dry road performance while maintaining wet
traction. Like all summer tires, the Ecsta XS is not intended to be
driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on
ice.
The Ecsta XS molds Kumho's high-grip synthetic resin
enhanced tread compound into an asymmetric pattern that features
wide outboard shoulders to deliver dry road responsiveness and
cornering, along with a continuous center rib that offers linear
handling and high-speed stability. Two wide circumferential center
grooves and an inboard network of aggressive lateral aqua grooves
enhance wet capability. The tire's structure includes two
high-tensile steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to
provide excellent strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed
capability while the sidewalls are tuned to resist lateral
deflection and to provide handling control and positive
feedback.
(XS pronounced ek-ses for excess)
