In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Kumho (59%). The first tyre test of Michelin e.Primacy was done in 2023, compared to 2016 when was the Kumho Ecsta HS51 first tested. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Michelin e.Primacy dimensions has B wet grip rating. Most (67%) of the Kumho Ecsta HS51 also have B wet ratings. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
e.Primacy is made in Italy/Spain/Germany and
Ecsta HS51 is made in China.
