Description

The Ecsta 4X II was created for those who are driven to drive. Unrivaled on cold, wet pavement, its advanced design and compound deliver exceptional handling in any condition - with styling and comfort equal to the finest luxury sedans.

  • Superb handling on cold, wet pavement results from a tread design that expels snow and water quickly
  • Smooth, quiet comfort is greatly enhanced by a unique noise-canceling tread that reduces road harmonics and vibration
  • Excellent cold traction results from a unique rubber compound engineered to run at cooler temperatures and stay flexible in the cold
  • Outstanding traction due to an oversized footprint, optimized for maximum road contact
