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 225/55R16 99W XL
If you want to save money and still want to get good quality tyres, these are a good choice. They even offer an insurance policy and that came in handy when I got a puncture two weeks after I got the new tyres.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS52 225/55R16 99W XL
These tyres are very long lasting on my Skoda Fabia. I bought a pair to change the originals that lasted about 80,000 miles in about 5 and a half years. They handle wet conditions excellent. These are default fit by Skoda and offer great value for money. Very happy with them.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta HS52 225/55R16 99W XL
I don't notice any difference between these and the Goodyear ones. So it seems like these tyres are doing the job well too.
