The Ecsta V730 is Kumho's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for sports cars, performance sedans and enthusiast drivers who participate in high-performance driving schools, autocrosses, and track days. The Ecsta V730 is built to maximize grip and handling in competition environments, but still provide reasonable on-road refinement and durability for a high level of performance no matter the venue. Like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, the Ecsta V730 is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near-and-below-freezing temperature, through snow or on ice.

Kumho Ecsta V730 Callouts

The Kumho Ecsta V730 utilizes an ultra-high grip tread compound featuring fine carbon black and synthetic resins for enhanced grip and consistency in high performance applications. The Ecsta V730's highly asymmetric tread design employs an extensive outboard shoulder element, helping ensure consistent cornering traction and dry road responsiveness. An optimized tire footprint design helps manage the extreme lateral cornering forces and longitudinal braking and acceleration grip for improved endurance and longevity. Two inboard circumferential grooves and lateral notches help evacuate water from the contact patch for improved hydroplaning resistance in wet conditions.

Extreme Performance Summer - 2024 Test 5 Part 2(16:42)

EP tires wear two distinct hats. They’re great on sporty and high horsepower vehicles conquering the everyday road and on those same vehicles as they dominate in various races and track days. The nuances here are many as increased traction and performance in one of these arenas can mean a tradeoff elsewhere. This two-part test lays it all bare and reveals just how close, but different, this category can be!

...They handle the road very well and even when driving in rain, on wet roads, it feels no different than when on dry roads!...

What an excellent tire! Had these for a year now and have put just alittle over 8,000 miles on them! They handle the road very well and even when driving in rain, on wet roads, it feels no different than when on dry roads! They also do a great job in the snow and ice, very confidence inspiring! They also look amazing on my vehicle giving it a more rugged, sporty, and appropriate look given the fact it’s an SUV! They definitely have more traction and grip than the stock, factory, all season tires did! So far, I would definitely purchase this tire again, and for now on I am only going with all terrain tires for my SUV over regular all seasons!

Definitely a value at the price point. Snow and ice performance in winter is superior to other brands.

Not a hint of waggle on ice or snow, excellent tires all around.

On my stock height Mini they rub a little on the rear under acceleration and some bumps but very minor and well worth the performance of the tires.

Make my front wheel drive Mini handle like it's all wheel drive.

The tires ride smooth and hardly any road noise. I’ve whipped it around curves to test them out and they hold good. Also living on a hill, they go up dirt, gravel, and rock really well without spinning out. Would buy again!

...Does well on the open road, tracks straight, good turn in for the class, somewhat loud over most road surfaces, road imperfections are mid range loud for class, but remains planted without bounce.

The tire is perfect for a light duty SUV that is expected to have some off road capability, say up to class 3 trails. In the world of on/off road compatible SUVS, the comparatively fragile Bronco Sport is probably the true limiting factor here, not the tire. Does well on the open road, tracks straight, good turn in for the class, somewhat loud over most road surfaces, road imperfections are mid range loud for class, but remains planted without bounce. I have driven this tire in light snow and it was somewhat tolerable , but do not consider any un-studded snow/ice tire as a family safe, and my ratings reflect this. Tread wear is even, and appears to be a 25,000 mile tire, given it is driven hard thru twisty mountain turns, outstanding in wet as well. Handles very well for class.

These tires rock. I went from a 255 4020 to a 255 5019 and the difference is phenomenal. These falcons take up potholes and cracks and bumps on the highway without me worrying about hitting my rims. Driving on gravel fire roads it was amazing. Tires are quiet. I would highly recommend these falcon wild peak ATT tracks for Tesla model Y owners that like to go to the snow or have to go on trails.
