A summer tread, drawn as a category. This is what this kind of tyre is laid out to do, not a picture of this one's own pattern.

Great Britain retained Regulation (EC) 1222/2009, so the label here uses the older A to G scales. Northern Ireland follows the current EU label, which runs A to E and carries a QR code.

What it is for

Kumho lists these sizes separately from the ordinary PS71, under the PS71 EV name, and the tread is visibly different. The label grades for each size are read from the EU register, where Kumho files them under the shared PS71 name.
