In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Italy (
Pirelli). Generally,
Pirelli summer tyres are slightly better rated (79%) than
Kumho (59%). The first tyre test of Kumho Ecsta HS51 was done in 2016, compared to 2021 when was the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2021 205/55 R16 test, where both the
Ecsta HS51 and the
Cinturato P7 C2 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 67% of Kumho Ecsta HS51 dimensions has B wet grip rating. Most (78%) of the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 also have B wet ratings. We also know where
Ecsta HS51 is made - China.
