Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 (225/45R18 95Y XL)

The 2025 Performance Benchmark. EV-Optimized & Track-Ready.

The PS72 marks a significant technological leap for Kumho. It is built with a high-rigidity carcass to support the heavy battery packs of EVs (like the Tesla Model 3 or BMW i4) while providing the sharp, communicative steering expected by sports sedan drivers.

✨ Key Performance Technologies

• EV-Ready “High-Stiffness” Compound:

  EVs generate instant, massive torque that can shred standard tyres. The PS72 uses a new generation of “Max Grip” resin that resists surface tearing under heavy acceleration, providing 10% better braking and 25% longer tread life than the previous PS71.

• K-Silent (Acoustic Foam Technology):

  Because road noise is more prominent in silent electric cars, specific versions of the PS72-EV include internal sound-absorbing foam and a “zigzag” pattern designed to break up air resonance, resulting in a quiet, premium cabin experience.

• Adaptive Footprint:

  The contact patch is optimized to remain stable even under the extreme weight of an EV in a corner. This prevents the “shoulder roll” common in SUVs and heavy electric sedans, giving you consistent grip and predictable handling.

• Hydro-Vane Grooves:

  The reinforced inner grooves are designed to clear water more effectively than traditional UHP tyres, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning even as the tyre wears down.

The Kumho PS72 is the definitive “Smart Choice” for 2025. It provides premium European-style performance and EV durability at a mid-range price point.
