Product description & features

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 emphasises performance on wet roads with improvements to braking, steering and cornering. The unique design of the HS52 tread pattern allows the tyre to channel water from under the tread and through the grooves. The asymmetric pattern of the tread features 4 grooves running from the front to the rear of the tyre. The HS52 utilises Kumho’s 3D Block Design. The High Grip Resin compound enhances braking and cornering performance on both wet and dry roads.

The HS52 is the successor to the Ecsta HS51 on Kumho’s performance tyre line. The HS52 is available in a strengthened casing which is suitable for cars with higher load requirements and has speed ratings up to Y (186mph). Tyres.co.uk sells the reinforced XL versions of the Kumho Ecsta HS52.

Highlights

  • Wet braking, steering and cornering
  • Four water-clearing tread grooves
  • Asymmetric tread pattern
  • High Grip Resin compound

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS52 205/60R16 96W XL
I replaced my Goodyear All Season tyres because they were making me feel uneasy turning, and the new ones feel much better. I've previously used Kumho tyres on my MG and have done both track days and daily commutes with them so I was very pleased with their performance.

Great performance so far. I haven't had any problems with noise or grip. I would buy them again.
