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 205/55R15 88V
I'm not sure what I was expecting from these tyres, being fitted on a car that isn't exactly known for cornering. But after driving quite a lot I discovered they provide really good grip, decent wear, handle wet conditions really well, and are super affordable. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS51 205/55R15 88V
I am very happy with these Kumho tyres. They are much quieter on the road and the steering is very responsive. Since retiring I've been looking for a premium brand and these Kumhos are perfect. Great for driving in the city and for the occasional staycation.
