1 mutual test(s) with detailed data

If you're in the market for a new set of tyres and are deciding between the Giti Gitisynergy H2 and the Kumho Ecsta HS52, there are a few factors to consider.


The Comparison:


The Giti Gitisynergy H2, a Giti product, is a summer tyre model that according to our test data, has its pluses and minuses. It demonstrates secure wet handling and short dry braking distance at a moderate price. However, the tyre's downsides include understeer tendency on dry pitches and a very high rolling resistance. In the 'Autobild' test, out of 55 tyres, the Giti Gitisynergy H2 took the 17th position. And in the ADAC test, it came in at 29th out of 50 tyres.


The Kumho Ecsta HS52, on the other hand, had more commendable performances. It succeeded its predecessor, the Kumho Ecsta HS51, and was marked for its admirable features in dry braking, dry handling, and wet braking. It ranked 2nd in the 'Autobild' test and 8th in the ADAC test, showing more consistent and superior results. Positive reviews indicated that it is well-balanced and performs great on both dry and wet roads. The only cons to consider are slight shortcomings in the tyre's environmental impact and efficiency.


The Verdict:


From the results of these evaluations, it's clear that the Kumho Ecsta HS52 outperforms the Giti Gitisynergy H2 overall. The HS52 is particularly recommended for summer use, as its dry and wet road handling are notable strengths. Meanwhile, while the Gitisynergy H2 has appealing features, such as its secure handling on wet grounds and fair pricing, its downsides might outweigh the benefits for some drivers, especially those who frequently drive on dry roads.


Choosing between the two comes down to what you prioritize most in a tyre's performance. However, according to our data, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 stands out as the better option in this comparison.
