✨ Key Performance Technologies

• EV-Ready Construction:Electric vehicles deliver 100% of their torque instantly, which can cause standard tyres to slip or wear unevenly. The PS72 features strengthened tread blocks and a high-stiffness rubber compound designed to grip the road instantly under high-torque loads.
• Max Grip Resin (Generation 2):Using a new functional polymer-infused compound, the PS72 offers a 10% improvement in wet braking and 9% in dry braking compared to the PS71. This ensures a “planted” feel during aggressive cornering or emergency stops.
• K-Silent (Acoustic Foam):To combat the lack of engine noise in EVs, this specific model features an internal sound-absorbing polyurethane foam layer. This “K-Silent” technology can reduce cabin road roar by up to 5 dB, making it one of the quietest performance tyres on the market.
• 25% Increased Tread Life:Kumho has addressed the wear-rate issues of older performance models. The PS72 uses a new wear-resistant compound and an optimized footprint that distributes pressure more evenly, extending the tyre’s life by up to 25%.
• Aerodynamic Sidewall:The sidewall is designed to be smoother and more aerodynamic to reduce air drag.10 This lowers rolling resistance, which helps maximize the battery range of electric vehicles.

The Kumho PS72-EV is a high-tech, 2025-standard choice. It offers the same wet-weather safety and precision as premium brands like Michelin or Continental, but at a more accessible price point.
