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.

Great performance and very quiet.

5/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

I hardly notice they are on my car, which is the best compliment I can give a tyre.

5/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

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?

Kumho Ecsta HS51

It's almost quiet enough to hold a conversation! It's fantastic to drive on wet roads because traction is excellent!

Excellent traction and quiet on all surfaces.

205/55 R15 was the standard tyre size on the E30 325i Sport as well as older family vehicles. This size can be broken down easily. The first part, 205, is the width in mm, while the 55 refers to the aspect ratio, putting the sidewall at 55% of 205mm, or about 113mm. R15 indicates a radial tyre that fits on a 15-inch rim. This gives a tyre an approximate total diameter of 606mm. This is the depth that absorbs shock from the road. We sell 205/55 R15 tyres at Tyres.co.uk in summer, winter, and all-season varieties.
