Comparison: Nokian Powerproof vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

The comparison at hand is between two summer tyres, the Nokian Powerproof and the Kumho Ecsta PS71. These tyres were put to the test against multiple other contenders and our findings are based on the accumulated data. Let's explore their strengths, and weakness regarding their performance.


Made in Finland, the Nokian Powerproof shows an impressive overall performance with an aggregate rating of 71%. Noteworthy is its wet braking capability making it a reliable choice for variable summer weather conditions. The tyre managed to earn the 2nd position in the Autobild test among 50 other tyres. In the ADAC test, it landed the 11th spot performing exceptionally well in terms of quietness with a diminished interior noise.


The Kumho Ecsta PS71, on the other hand, boasts a slightly higher overall rating of 72%. It is particularly known for its aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinal, which was additionally recognized in the ADAC test where it bagged the 10th position. In the Autobild test, it managed the 5th position making it one of the top contenders there too.


Both of these tyres are part of the summer collection of their respective manufacturers, Nokian and Kumho. At present, neither Nokian Powerproof nor Kumho Ecsta PS71 have been replaced by newer models, making them current and relevant choices for summer tyres.


Despite their separate strengths, these tyres offer a reasonably close performance with their overall ratings only being 1% apart. While the Nokian Powerproof excels in terms of wet braking and reduced noise, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 stands out for its resistance against aquaplaning. Considering their performance in both tests, although Kumho fared better than Nokian in the ADAC test, Nokian outperformed Kumho in the Autobild.


In conclusion, if you prioritize lower noise and better wet braking performance, the Nokian Powerproof would be an ideal pick. Conversely, if stronger resistance against aquaplaning is what you seek, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 might be a better option.
