Tyre reviews Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31. Page 6 2129

I bought these front tires for road use. I rate them better than the Toyo T1R, as they have stiffer sidewalls to keep a sharp turn in the Elise. They lock up easily under braking, but for a road tire, they're fine and affordable. Allows me to keep my R888 for track.

Very good, safe tire. Rear tires were changed for the same model after a puncture. The tires were approaching the end of life, so overall 17,000 miles on the front and 2,000 on the rear panel, makes up about a representative wear rate of this tire.

Tires are fine, I installed them because they were the same ones installed in the garage I bought the car from. There was no other reason as such, I didn't compare them with any other tire manufacturer on my current tires. They are quite satisfactory though.

Great tires for the money! I really should have purchased a fifth one, as I was flat within a week after .. due to a HUGE plug straight through the middle of my tire. Great thing was tire replacement showed up twice as fast as the first order ... Thanks Tires-easy!

Great budget tires that are very comfortable and look like business. They last for absolute years (the last set on the front lasted about 25,000 miles). The only downside, they are not the grippiest tires. Fine for a family sedan, but no good on a sports car (even if they look like they belong on one).

My M5 already had KU31's installed on the rear wheels, but in the 275/35-18 size, when I bought it over a year ago. I was happy with the handling and performance of these tires and the fact that they hardly showed any wear at all, despite a lot of hard driving with this quite heavy 400 hp car. Additionally, I tracked them on a racing circuit, and they performed well. So, when it came time to replace the front tires I

I was on a budget when I purchased these two tyres, which I had installed on the rear (2 x Original Michelin Pilot Primacy HP on the fronts) I was satisfied with them and they lasted around 12,000 to 13,000 miles (with even wear) currently down to the legal UK tread points. Would have liked to have seen them last a bit longer but that seems to be the main trade off with budget tyres.

I simply had to replace the rears due to a puncture, but the wear rates are higher than I would have liked. Snow in the winter showed up the tread pattern to be quite useless in such conditions, and so I will be going for Maxxis MAP1 in a different size. A shame really, because they are good tyres otherwise.

More than 200 km on snow, -7 outside, average speed 80, ESP worked only 2 times, and everything else is excellent. 215/45/R17 - a bit stiff, feels the rut, but on smooth asphalt, there are no complaints, acceleration and braking dynamics 5+.

Excellent tires, worth their money. They handle the road perfectly, driving into a puddle is like driving on rails :) after 4 years of operation, the wear on the front wheels is about 40%, and on the rear wheels 25%. I'm very pleased with the tires! The next set of wheels will only be Kumho Ecsta Spt :)
