Expert summary

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 has been around for a while and keeps showing up well in tests. Strong aquaplaning resistance, short braking distances, and balanced handling across conditions make it a dependable choice. Comfort and noise are where it compromises.

Expert summary

A dry-road specialist with track-day ambitions. The Supersport delivers incredible dry grip and handling precision, but it pays for that with weak wet performance, high noise, and the worst rolling resistance in test. A tyre for sunny weekends, not rainy commutes.

Expert summary

Hankook tyres are getting better with every new generation and the Ventus Evo is the latest evolution. It aims for the stars with excellent dry and wet handling, best-in-test wet braking and top aquaplaning speed, while producing very low exterior noise. The only notable weakness is higher rolling resistance. Still, it is a premium tyre for slightly less than a premium price.
