In a highly competitive field, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 impressively finished 3rd among 16 competitors, earning an overall rating of 'Good'. This tire stands out for its balanced performance, having demonstrated safe and reliable behaviors on both dry and wet roads. Notably, on dry surfaces, it provides excellent steering feedback and a reassuring level of safety at the limit, along with a commendable short braking distance. Despite its slight weaknesses in aquaplaning resistance and a heavier tire weight, its performance on wet roads remains commendable, offering good grip and controllability along with strong braking and handling. However, it received only a satisfactory mark in aquaplaning situations. The tire also shined in terms of durability, showcasing very good predicted mileage and low wear, which contributes to its low fuel consumption, though its environmental performance was seen as satisfactory due to its higher weight and the sustainability aspect of its production received a limited rating. Specifically excelling in disciplines such as "mileage" and "Wet circle cornering," the Kumho Ecsta HS52 demonstrates its strengths in longevity and wet performance. Conversely, it ranked last in "Aquaplaning - longitudinal" and "Exterior noise," indicating areas for potential improvement. Despite these minor drawbacks, its strong overall performance marks it as a commendable choice for consumers looking for a reliable and durable summer tire.
