Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 (225/55R17 101Y XL)

The 2025 Evolution. Sport Performance Meets EV Durability.

The PS72 is part of Kumho’s new “Premium Selection Range.” It has been optimized for high-speed stability and reduced braking distances, achieving a top-tier “A” rating for Wet Grip while offering significantly better mileage than previous Kumho sport models.

✨ Key Performance Technologies

• EV-Ready Hybrid Construction:Modern EVs and Hybrids are heavier and exert more stress on tyres. The PS72 features a high-stiffness rubber compound and reinforced center and outer blocks.5 This structure prevents the tyre from deforming under heavy loads, ensuring precise steering and even tread wear.6
• Max Grip Resin (Gen 2):Utilizing a new functional polymer-infused compound, the PS72 improves wet braking by 10% and dry braking by 9% over the PS71.7 This provides a “sure-footed” feeling even when driving through standing water at highway speeds.
• K-Silent Noise Technology:To address the lack of engine noise in EVs, the PS72 uses an optimized “zigzag” tread pattern to disrupt air resonance. Many units in this size also include a built-in sound-absorbing foam on the inner liner to reduce cabin road roar by several decibels.8
• 25% Longer Life:One of the biggest complaints about the older PS71 was fast wear. The PS72 addresses this with a specialized compound and an optimized contact patch that distributes pressure more evenly, resulting in a 25% increase in total mileage.9
• Aerodynamic Sidewall:The sidewall profile is designed to reduce air drag, which helps lower rolling resistance—a critical factor in extending the battery range of electric vehicles.

The Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 is an ideal choice for 2025, offering premium European-market performance and quietness at a mid-range price point.
