Comparison: Kumho Ecsta HS52 vs. Kleber Dynaxer HP4 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2

2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 and the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 are two excellent tyre models that offer distinct benefits for drivers. Seen as summer tyres, both these models have undergone multiple tests and reviews to measure their performance under diverse conditions. An in-depth analysis reveals across-the-board strengths and weaknesses and lets us conclude on their overall performance comparatively.


The Kumho Ecsta HS52, created by the renowned Kumho brand, excels when it comes to dry braking and handling, as well as wet braking. It is also praised for its good value for the price, according to Autobild 2024. However, it does show some weaknesses in environmental impact, efficiency, and sustainability. Additionally, some drivers have experienced delayed steering response. Despite these shortcomings, this model still garnered a commendable 6th place out of 21 in the Autobild test, and 8th out of 50 in the ADAC test.


Moving onto the Kleber Dynaxer HP4, produced by Kleber, it's particularly noted for its comfort, exterior noise control, and environmental performance. Comparatively, it also has good tyre wear and overall efficiency. However, this model might disappoint when it comes supplying balanced performance and wet road grip. It could potentially devalue due to its inferior performance on wet surfaces. It also showcases delayed steering response and understeering on dry surfaces. This model was positioned at number 13, a few places behind the Kumho Ecsta HS52, in Autobild's test and 12th in the ADAC test.


The former Kumho Ecsta HS51 model has been succeeded by the HS52 model. However, no newer tyre has replaced the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 as of now.


In conclusion, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 outperforms the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 in most aspects, although both have their individual strong points. While Kumho Ecsta HS52 scores high on dry and wet handling, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 offers better comfort and noise control. However, the overall rating of the two models stands close with Kumho Ecsta HS52 carrying 78% and Kleber Dynaxer HP4, 76% rating.


Regardless, the ultimate choice between the two tyres should consider individual driving conditions and preferences.
