Ecowing es31 is a summer tyre from Korean manufacturer Kumho Tire. The design is optimised to reduce rolling resistance. As a result, the model provides low fuel consumption and high mileage. Reduced fuel consumption is also a result of the aerodynamic design of the side surface.
The outer part of the asymmetrical tread reduces noise, providing a comfortable journey. The wide and longitudinal grooves evacuate water and reduce the risk of aquaplaning. The compound, modified from the previous KH27 model, allows shorter braking distances. The Ecowing es31 tyre not only retains its performance throughout its life, but also shows no signs of ageing at very high mileage. Another undoubted advantage is the ability to withstand mechanical damage, which is especially beneficial on poorer quality surfaces.
The product has a very good price/quality ratio, which is why it is located in the mid-range segment.
The Kumho brand has been producing tyres for more than 60 years. It supplies a lot of first-assembly tyres, not only to the Korean automotive industry but also to European manufacturers. The brand is also gaining experience in motorsport. Among other things, it supplies tyres for the European Formula 3 series. This allows it to offer innovative and competitive products.
