In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Italy (
Pirelli) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Pirelli summer tyres are slightly better rated (79%) than
Kumho (59%). In this particular case, the Pirelli Cinturato (C3) has a better rating of 94% compared to 87% of the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72). Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2026 245/45 R19 test, where both the
Cinturato (C3) and the
Ecsta Sport (PS72) were tested. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Pirelli Cinturato (C3) dimensions has A wet grip rating. Most (100%) of the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72) also have A wet ratings.
