The Kumho Ecsta PS31 in size 225/45R17 94W XL is an entry-level Ultra-High Performance (UHP) summer tyre that has become the 2026 value champion for compact sedans and hatchbacks. The (KR) marking confirms it is manufactured in South Korea, which is often preferred by enthusiasts for its consistent quality control.

In Singapore, this size is the standard performance upgrade for the Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic, and the Hyundai Avante/Elantra, where drivers seek a sporty look without the premium cost of Tier-1 brands.
