Product description & features

The Kumho Ecsta HS51 is the summer tyre with the best designed drainage system for wet roads. Water is drained using 4 grooves that run from the front of the tyre to the back. There is a solid centre rib that runs through the pattern and provides a continuous braking and steering surface. Kumho has designed a 3D block that provides flexibility in the tyre when going through sharp corners, whilst also incorporating a silica grip for great traction on both wet and dry roads.

The Ecsta HS52 is now the newer design to replace the HS51. Some sizes of the HS51 also have the XL sidewall mark and reinforced XL construction, providing an even great load capacity, for larger specified tyres. Here at Tyres.co.uk we have the regular and reinforced XL versions of the Kumho Ecsta HS51.

Highlights

  • Four water drainage grooves
  • Solid centre rib
  • 3D blocks for sharp corners
  • Silica grip for wet and dry

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS51 195/45R15 78V
The tyres are doing well. Previous tyres lasted for 36,000 miles, the longest I've had, and so they are great value for money.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS51 195/45R15 78V
Performing well in most weather conditions is what these tyres are designed for. They are not suitable for freezing temperatures and snow conditions. They handle corners and braking efficiently in dry and very wet conditions, and they last really well too.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS51 195/45R15 78V
At first, I thought the tyres were good because they appeared good from the outside. However, I was worried when I was told during a service that they were deteriorating.

I don't think they've changed at all from the old ones, so they don't seem all that great to me.

Truly amazing! The car stays so close to the road when taking corners, it really hugs the road. My last set of front tyres lasted 29,000 miles.
