Tyre reviews Kumho Ecsta HS52. Page 1 944

The tire is not bad, overall...
I expected it to be made in Korea, but the country of manufacture is China.
It's a bit noisy.
A lot of weights had to be hung on the balancing.
For its price, the price/quality ratio is 5.
225/50 R17.

I've been choosing tires for a long time, looking around. There were several options, but with the price increase in February, I decided to take these. The model is new, there was no information, I chose based on reviews of similar KUMHO tires.

In the end, I'll say, an excellent set for a pleasant price. They hold the road well on both dry and wet surfaces, the noise from the tires is minimal, and the braking is good.

Parameters 215/45 r17

Excellent tire. Size 205 55 r 16. Price-quality is justified.
At speeds above 130, the grip is excellent, it goes well into sharp turns.
In my opinion, it's slightly noisy after 80 km/h.
Overall, I recommend.

I bought 4 pieces in the spring. The manager works well, delivered, all from the same batch. I drove through the summer - there is no noticeable wear. I used to take Kumho, they had very soft sidewalls, torn on the first pit. These with the Extra load marking 215x55x16 with reinforced sidewalls, China. Acceleration, braking, on dry, wet - all normal. I rarely drive above 130. I don't evaluate noise, it's within normal limits. They are well balanced.

Excellent tires, I also bought winter tires of the same brand, so I bought summer ones too. Winter production is Korea and summer is China. I read that the production is common.

Excellent wheels, already caught in a downpour on the highway at a speed of 90, no unpleasant sensations and heat of 40. Caught a couple of potholes, but the sidewall is intact. Exploited in Crimea. Not annoying with noise, the previous summer Nokian Hakkapeliitta Green 2 were very noisy for me.

Excellent tires. I personally like them, there are no drawbacks. The road holding is excellent. Noise level is acceptable.

To say that I'm satisfied is an understatement. I'm buying Kumho for the first time. Previously, I drove on Nokian and Yokohama sports tires, and I drive fast because I'm always running "10 minutes" late. The suspension on my car is stiff and noisy, and the previous tires added to the background noise. Kumho is much quieter and softer. Honestly, I bought them because they were the original equipment, fresh from 09.24, and there was no other choice - either Chinese or domestically produced, which I had to get used to. The price was around 7,000 per wheel, and there was no other option with such prices. Additionally, a friend had driven on them for 6 seasons and drives a lot. They handle the road perfectly, enter turns without any issues, and even handle April snow. In short, everything is just the way I like it. I'm very satisfied with the purchase. I wanted to lower the rating by one star for the categories of wear resistance, price, and quietness, but the site doesn't allow it. Oh well, I'll give it a solid 5 stars.

Excellent tires in all parameters, price and quality

The tires were disappointing, after two seasons they wore out very badly, and by the third season they were ready to be discarded. For the first time, I've had a tire where the tread cracked. With the original Pirelli, I drove for 5 years without such issues. Made in China.
