Kumho Ecsta HS51 Reviews - Page 2

Tires grip really well in the dry, but in the they feel a bit loose. I had them fitted in a audi a4 and have them for 15k km and they have 4.5 mm letf in them. Overall they are a pretty good tire would totally buy again.

These tires on the front of a fiesta have only lasted just over 12 months. They have even wear across the tread. Tracking was done when tires were fitted. Very disappointed at the mileage done only about 7500 miles. Will pay more for a better tire next time

I have these tires for 3 years
Done 32,000 Miles on them
Very good in all conditions like having a perineum brand fitted .
I recommend them to all because its quality & price

Just had these tires fitted on my 2005 Mini Cooper S Chilli, so far I've done about 100km, I'll update the review once the tires have been worn in. So far they seem OK, although I probably wouldn't get them again on this car. Dry grip seems more than fine, a hell of a lot better than the old Pirelli Cinturato P7 runflats that were on the vehicle (although these tires were on their last legs when I bought the car), and seem to handle 170fwhp and 220nm of torque easily. So far I have not experienced any understeer when accelerating hard around a corner, which is fairly impressive in front wheel drive sports car. From what I have heard, wet grip is also more than adequate. Tires are 380 treadwear so should last for a decent amount of time. My problem with the tires are road feedback, are lack thereof. The steering feel has become noticeably lighter and less direct since installing these tires, I don't seem to be getting any acceptable level of steering feedback which is somewhat disconcerting in a high performance vehicle. The car feels less connected to the road, although does have noticeably more grip than before, without having experienced the car on fresh tires previously, I can't say if this is normal or not. The tires are not yet broken in, so I'll have to see if my experience changes over time. So far I'm not super impressed. One merit of these tires is that road noise is absolutely non existent.

Im very impressed!!!better than pirelli p7 and michelin i fitted before with better price.never failed in wet or dry on and after 42000 km i felt that something goes wrong so i fitted new.im sure that would be good for more km

I have Kuhmo 275/39/19 96y fitted to my 2005 BMWE60 530d msport, I have just had to get a taxi home from Swansea to London because for the second time in 18 months I have had a blow out on the M4 whilst travelling at speed. Both times the tire has failed on the inner wall with the tire instantly going flat. A large section of tire has blown out approx three inches long with a hole that I could push my finger all the way in. As I said earlier this is the second time and both times it has been a inner wall failure. Has anybody else experienced this problem and do they know if Kuhmo are aware of this possible design fault or am I just unlucky?

These tires , specially HS51 Escata ,
One of the best i ever fitted on my car
On them (25,000 Miles) in all aspects are great i recommend all to buy these
Wet performance is very good excellent , no need have very exp Premium brands

Very bad road feedback. Handling is bad too. You will fight with steering wheel with this tire. I dont recommend.

Had these for over 60k and then bought another set. Very good tires. Loads of grip. They just dried out very quickly and started to get noisy after 50k. Definitely would buy it again.

Before this, i already comment about this tire(bad comment for 1000km use).. now, i already use this tire around 40k km.. the tire was great!! I already tested when very raining day.. yes the car you feel like skidding left or right,but actually, the tire very2 grip when wet.. i'm push the tire until 120-140km/h until the symbol skidding appear at my meter.. the tire do his jobb.. the cornering when dry and wet veryy good..the comfortable also verry good.. when cruising at high speed 160 above and then you breaking immediatly alsoo good.. very2 grip..the tire i think can go around 100k-150k km only because it soft.. who's care.. i will buy again.. thankss

I have these tires about two years (20.000 Miles) still have 5mm tread on them
They are excellent summer/winter all around .
I think they would last about 50k or less .
Still soft treads not hard dry think after 3rd year will start mid life cycle
I recommend them to all great tire no need spend alot of money
I'll buy them again

Better wear, lower road noise and improved fuel economy over the Conti Sport Contacts that came fitted to the car to begin with. The same level of grip. Noticeably lower life on the fronts than rear for obvious reasons.but got 19k out of the fronts and nearly 36k out of the rears.
