Product description & features

A budget tyre that still promises high performance capabilities, the Ecsta HS52 is developed for strong handling in both wet and dry weather conditions.

These car tyres offer features to help tackle aquaplaning, further strengthening the tyre’s wet grip performance.

An innovative tread compound increases mileage of the tyre compared to its predecessor, the Ecsta HS51.

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 arrives in 14-inch to 20-inch rim sized tyres.

Strong Wet and Dry Grip

The Ecsta HS52 arrives with an asymmetrical tread design, providing highly balanced performance on wet and dry driving conditions.

The wide grooves featured on the tread helps the tyre tackle aquaplaning through efficient water dispersion across the tyre.

Enhanced Mileage

Thanks to a blend of high grip resins, highly dispersible silica and multi-functionalised polymers not only helps the wet and dry grip performance, but also positively contributes to longevity of the tyre.

Wet-weather performance is achieved through the silica compound as the silica works to provide a low-heat build-up.

The tyres replaced six year old GoodYear EffiecientGrip. Thye feel like the sidewalls are a little stiffer giving a slight less compliant ride but that is made up for in the amount of grip they provide in the dry and especially in the wet. Although I'd expected them to be slightly noisier than the GoodYear they are actually quieter so that is a bonus. For the price I think they provide a very good level of grip and good feedback. If they continue to perform as they age I would buy them again.

The car feels more stable now but then the previous ones had deteriorated significantly. A much more even and stable ride, cornering has markedly improved.
