Comparison: Kumho Ecsta PS71 vs. Maxxis Victra Sport 5 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T005

Today we are comparing two summer tyres: the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5. Both models are recognised for their performance and features, but let's dive deeper into their strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance based on multiple tyre tests.


The Kumho Ecsta PS71, manufactured by Kumho, stands out for its excellent aquaplaning - both longitudal and cross - and comfort. It fared well in 'Autobild', securing 5th position out of 50 tyres tested, thanks to its superior wet braking and handling. The ACE test also noticed its aquaplaning feature, placing it at 7th out of 10. Another key strength lies in its balanced high performance potential and good handling qualities, noted in the 'ace 2023' test, where it displayed short wet and dry braking ways. However, it was marked down for its slightly elevated noise level. Overall, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 has a high rating of 68%. The tyre has not been replaced by a newer model.


On the other hand, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5, produced by Maxxis, boasts its UHP subtype and madeIn CN features, making it a top competitor in the market. This tyre excels in aquaplaning – especially cross, mileage, noise, and wet circle cornering, which earned it 4th place out of 16 in the ADAC test. It also performed notably in wet handling - objective, placing it 6th in the ACE test. The tyre showed strong safety reserves in aquaplaning and a secure dynamic wet handling in the 'ace 2023' test. Despite its minor downsides of average tyre life and slow steering response, it receives a commendable rating of 69%. Similarly, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 has not been replaced by a new model yet.


In summation, whilst both the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 received favourable ratings, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 slightly edges out in the overall tyre rating. They both have excellent aquaplaning features, but Maxxis Victra Sport 5 demonstrates a better performance in noise, wet circle cornering, and mileage according to mutual test results. However, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 should not be overlooked for its wet braking and wet handling features, along with its fair price.
