The Kumho Ecowing ES31 195/60 R17 is a fuel-efficiency focused passenger tyre developed to balance low rolling resistance, wet-road performance, stable handling, ride comfort and tread life. Kumho officially lists this exact size as 195/60 R17 90V. The manufacturer's Japanese specification gives a 6.0-inch standard rim width, approximately 201 mm actual tyre width and an overall diameter of 666 mm for this version.
The Ecowing ES31 uses an asymmetric tread pattern designed to support balanced road performance. Kumho applies a fifth-generation tread compound with highly dispersible silica to reduce rolling resistance while maintaining wet-road capability. Four wide drainage channels provide direct paths for water to leave the contact area, helping improve wet performance and resistance to hydroplaning. Heat Dissipation Dimples positioned around the shoulder are designed to reduce heat build-up while the tyre is being driven.
Efficient 17-Inch Passenger-Car Fitment
At 195 mm wide with a 60 profile, the tyre has a nominal sidewall height of approximately 117 mm, calculated as 60 percent of its nominal section width. Kumho's published dimensions show an actual width of approximately 201 mm and a 666 mm overall diameter when mounted on the stated reference rim. These figures make the 195/60 R17 a specific vehicle fitment rather than a tyre that can be substituted for another 17-inch size based only on wheel diameter.
For Pakistani driving, the ES31 is relevant to vehicles approved for 195/60 R17 where everyday city use, motorway travel, fuel efficiency and wet-road drainage are important priorities. Kumho also positions the pattern around improved quietness and ride comfort while retaining handling stability and wear resistance.
Kumho officially lists this size as 90V. Before installation, buyers should verify the load index and speed symbol on the physical tyre and confirm that the vehicle manufacturer approves 195/60 R17. Wheel width, overall diameter and suspension clearance must also be suitable. Cold inflation pressure should follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, while regular pressure, alignment and tread inspections help maintain even wear, efficiency and predictable road behaviour.
Ecowing ES31 Technology
Fifth-generation tread compound. Kumho uses its fifth-generation compound technology in the Ecowing ES31 to combine low rolling resistance with wet-road performance.
Highly dispersible silica. The tread compound incorporates highly dispersible silica to help reduce rolling resistance while maintaining traction and performance on wet road surfaces.
Asymmetric tread pattern. The ES31 uses an asymmetric tread design developed to improve handling performance on dry roads while contributing to the tyre's overall performance balance.
Four wide drainage channels. Four main longitudinal channels move water away from the contact area, supporting wet-road performance and resistance to hydroplaning.
Heat Dissipation Dimples. Dimples positioned around the tyre shoulder are designed to reduce heat build-up during driving.
Width-specific tread design. Kumho uses two ES31 tread configurations according to tyre width. Sizes with section widths of 195 mm and below use the narrower pattern configuration, while tyres from 205 mm upward use the wider design.
Balanced tyre structure. Kumho develops the ES31 structure to combine handling stability, low rolling resistance, wear resistance and ride performance without concentrating on only one characteristic.
Comfort and noise focus. Kumho positions the Ecowing ES31 to provide improved quietness and ride comfort alongside its efficiency and wet-road performance objectives.
Radial construction. The 195/60 R17 uses radial construction, represented by the R designation in the tyre size.

Understanding Tyre Size 195/60 R17 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 195/60 R17 Tyre Size
What does 195/60 R17 mean?
195/60 R17 is the tyre size.
195 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 195 milimetres(mm).
60 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 60% of the 195mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
17 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
