About these reviews

Tyre reviews recording 205/50 R15, across tyre brands and tread ranges. Each review identifies its tyre range.

4/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

The road-gripping abilities of these vehicles guarantee excellent road holding and stability control across all driving conditions.

4/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

The tyres are performing well in different weather conditions, and I have no major complaints for now.

1/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

Problems with decreased air pressure. Installers report leaks coming from the rims.

5/5

These tyres are top quality for a reasonable price. They are also quiet and grip well in the wet, which I appreciate. I drive within the limits so I don't worry about the tread wearing too much. My last Kumho tyres lasted me almost 5 years and about 30,000 miles. They still had good traction, but during the MOT, the examiner said there were some cracks in the tread that were advisory. Even though they passed the MOT, I decided to change them out.

5/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

I feel very assured driving with these tyres; they give me great road performance and grip.

5/5

Uniroyal RainSport 5

I think Uniroyal tyres perform well in both wet and dry conditions and that they seem to last longer than other brands.

4/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

I have only used the car in nice weather because it is only for occasional summer driving and it isn't my main vehicle.

5/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

Excellent braking performance, quiet operation, long lasting.

205/50 R15 sizes are the original front tyre sizes on early Honda NSX vehicles which have wider rear tyres. 205 denotes the width in mm. 50 is the aspect ratio, with the sidewall height being 50% of 205mm, thus 102mm. R15 indicates it is a radial tyre on a 15-inch rim, thus giving the NSX an overall diameter of 586mm. The NSX employs that 102mm sidewall to control tyre flex while cornering. Tyres.co.uk stocks 205/50 R15.
