In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Finland (
Nokian). Generally,
Nokian summer tyres are slightly better rated (60%) than
Kumho (59%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 has a better rating of 74% compared to 59% of the Nokian WetProof. The first tyre test of Kumho Ecsta HS52 was done in 2022, compared to 2019 when was the Nokian WetProof first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autoklub ČR 2023 205/55 R16 test, where both the
Ecsta HS52 and the
WetProof were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 75% of Kumho Ecsta HS52 dimensions has A wet grip rating. Most (100%) of the Nokian WetProof also have A wet ratings.
