ESCOT Technology

ESCOT stands for Excellent & Smart Contour Optimization Theory, which is KUMHO TIRES' advanced patented technology that maximizes tire performance using finite element techniques to provide comfort and safety while driving. It sustains performance of the tire by maintaining its shape throughout the speed range. At the same time, the tire maintains its ground contact pressure distribution to enhance tread life and braking capability, and optimizes the carcass tension to improve steering stability and comfort.

Tire Profile Optimization

The new tire profile is optimized to enhance the performance of the tire by uniformly expanding the center and shoulder region of the contact area.

Good Contact Pressure Optimization

General tire performance under normal wear and breaking depends on a ground contact profile pressure distribution of the tire. ESCOT Technology optimizes the ground contact profile and pressure distribution to maximize wear and breaking capability.

Tension Optimization

The Carcass tension distribution for the tire sidewall directly affects the performance of the tire. Carcass tension optimization maximizes steering stability and comfort.
