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.
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.
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 Kumho Ecsta HS52 is currently manufactured in 1 variant of tyre:
Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
