It pays to own an all-round tire that can provide great performance, traction, and suitable warranty, and doesn't have to be changed throughout the year. Fortunately, the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum KU27 is a great all-season tire that comes with all these qualities. The tire looks great enough to suit performance-based sedans and provides an excellent mixture of durability and comfort. While its asymmetric tread pattern enhances performance, the waffle sipes maintain tread block stiffness under pressure with the help of a progressive sipe system, resulting in better snow and ice traction. Additionally, the dynamically engineered tread block design of the tire offers low road noise.
