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%). In this particular case, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 has a better rating of 75% compared to 74% of the Kumho Ecsta HS52. The first tyre test of Kumho Ecsta HS52 was done in 2022, compared to 2017 when was the Pirelli Cinturato P7 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2024 205/55 R16 test, where both the
Ecsta HS52 and the
Cinturato P7 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 75% of Kumho Ecsta HS52 has A wet grip rating, whereas 78% of Pirelli Cinturato P7 has B rating.
