Tyre reviews Kumho Ecsta PS71. Page 3 939

I bought this because I really liked the previous KU31, as it is positioned as the next generation of it. And, to be honest, the price was not even giving a chance to the competitors. In fact, everything works great and was balanced. It holds the road perfectly, and it is not noisy. I drive quite actively.

All great! Soft and quiet.

Performed well both on dry and wet conditions.

Good tires

He is very pleased with the tires. During balancing, one wheel took a lot of weights - then I want to redo it for myself. It holds excellent, maybe a bit noisy compared to winter tires, well, that's just an assumption. But overall, I recommend them. Haven't driven on water, so I don't know how they perform in that condition. I would buy them again for myself.

Bought in the spring of 24, delivered by a transport company, the tire is from November 2023. I've driven 3000 miles, no issues, I recommend

I replaced CONTINENTAL Conti Cross Cont. SUV with R20.

An excellent tire! Also different widths, also R20. The road holding is excellent. The ratio of softness/stiffness/comfort is ideal (for me personally). Noise level is normal. It confidently passes puddles at 120 km/h. Of course, it catches ruts, but that's due to the tire width. A VERY worthy competitor to Western brands, with a price twice as low, the quality is not worse, and sometimes even better. I'm satisfied with the purchase. I highly recommend!!!

At the time of writing this review, not much time has passed, only about five hundred kilometers, but even this was enough to evaluate and feel the difference between the new tires and the old ones. I'll start with the fact that:

- The old - Kumho Solus KH17 205/60 R16 92V 2010, has traveled approximately 90 thousand kilometers, has proven itself as a versatile and very effective tire, both on dry and wet asphalt, but there was also a minus in this tire throughout its life - it is somewhat rigid, therefore wear-resistant and noisy.

- The new - Kumho Ecsta PS71 205/60 R16 92V, it has become much quieter in the cabin, stable in high-speed turns, no aquaplaning was observed. This tire has a softer composition (this is my opinion), and the tread pattern itself suggests sportiness.

P.S.: I will try to add a review after 10 thousand kilometers of mileage.

Excellent summer tires, before buying these tires, I doubted which ones to take, since the previous tires were also Kumho R17 2013 (by the way, without punctures, repairs and bulges) and I stopped at them, they hold the road confidently.

Good tires. Excellent service.
