Comparison: Kumho EcowinG ES01 KH27 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance

Today we are comparing two noteworthy tyres: The Kumho EcowinG ES01 KH27 from Kumho, and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance by Goodyear. Both are summer tyres and notable for their features and performance.

Starting off with the Kumho EcowinG ES01 KH27, this tyre did not necessarily impress in our tests, coming in 7th out of 16 tyres in the ADAC test and 28th out of 51 in the Autobild Test. Unfortunately, there were no identifiable best features noted in both tests. However, one key point to note is that this tyre has not been replaced and is still available in the market.

Moving on to the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, this tyre put up a commendable performance in both ADAC and Autobild tests, securing 4th and 11th position respectively. The strengths of this tyre were many, prominently, its proficiency in aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal), dry driving behavior, and wet circle cornering. This indicates it provides good safety both in dry conditions and during heavy aquaplaning situations. It's worth noting that this model has been replaced by a newer version, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2.

In terms of the overall verdict, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance has a higher rating than the Kumho EcowinG ES01 KH27, considering its superior position in the tests and the features it offers. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the Kumho EcowinG ES01 KH27 is a bad tyre, it's just that in comparison to the Goodyear tyre, it doesn't fare as well.

To conclude, both tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses and cater to different needs. So, it is essential to evaluate what specific features you prioritize, your budget, and then make a decision on which tyre to go forward with.
