Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum
 |
The Ecsta LX
Platinum is Kumho's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed
to meet the needs of sporty coupe and luxury performance
sedan drivers. It is designed to blend responsive handling,
long wear and a quiet ride with year-round traction
including in light snow.
Kumho molds their advanced all-season tread compound into
the Ecsta LX Platinum radial's asymmetric tread design where
three different types of sipes are used to enhance
all-season traction. Outboard shoulder and intermediate
tread block sipes terminate in stress relief dimples to help
the sipe openings blend straight-line snow traction with
lateral grip. Straight sipes are used for the middle blocks
while waffle design sipes are used on the inboard
intermediate and shoulder tread blocks to blend dry-road
stability with all-season traction. The internal structure
of Ecsta LX Platinum tires feature twin steel belts
reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cord on top of a
polyester cord carcass to combine high-speed durability with
ride quality.
Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires feature black sidewall styling
with subtle black letters reversed out of a stylized
sidewall band. They are available in H-, V- or W-speed
rated, 65-, 60-, 55-, 50- and 45-series sizes for 14" to 19"
wheel diameters. |
