A good fit if you
- Warm, dry, and wet roads where grip matters more than cold-weather resilience.
- Drivers who already swap to a dedicated winter set when temperatures drop below 7°C.
Think twice if you need
- Winter driving — summer tires harden in the cold and won’t satisfy Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
- Anyone who wants one set of tires to cover all four seasons in Ontario or Quebec.

255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 Summer
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 101 means each tire can carry up to 825 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- UTQG 320 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
- Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Where this tire fits in
The 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a summer tire, built around a 255 mm section width for a 20-inch wheel.
In practical terms, this size gives you a 45-series sidewall of about 115 mm paired with a 20-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.
Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries load index 101 and speed rating V (~240 km/h), UTQG 320 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.
About the 255/45R20 tire size
The 255/45R20 breaks down into three numbers:
- 255 — tread width in millimetres, measured across the contact patch
- 45 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 115 mm of rubber between road and rim)
- R20 — radial construction, for a 20-inch wheel
The 255/45R20 size is commonly found on luxury sedans and performance vehicles. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

Common questions — 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 Summer
What does the 255/45R20 tire size mean?
Break it down and 255/45R20 tells you three things: the tread is 255 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 45% of that — about 115 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 20-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on luxury sedans and performance vehicles.
Is the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 a Summer tire?
Yes — the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 is categorized as a Summer tire.
What does the 101V rating mean on the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71?
The 101V on the Kumho Ecsta PS71 breaks into two numbers: load index 101, meaning each tire carries up to 825 kg, rated to approximately 240 km/h; and speed rating V, rated to 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 3PMS rated?
No — the Kumho Ecsta PS71 doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.
Is the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 support run flat driving?
No — the Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.
Is the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 an XL (extra load) tire?
No — the Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a standard load tire, not XL. Check your vehicle door placard or current tires to confirm what’s required before ordering.
What does speed rating V mean on the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71?
Speed rating V on the Kumho Ecsta PS71 corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
Can I order the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?
Yes — we ship the 255/45R20 Kumho Ecsta PS71 across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
