Also compare with
The two tyres under comparison are the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 and the Kumho Ecsta PS71, both of which are renowned for their performance in summer conditions.
The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, made by Pirelli, a leading tyre manufacturer from Italy, has an excellent rating of 85%. The tyre distinguishes itself in various tyre tests, particularly in dry handling and wet conditions. In the Autobild test, it impressively ranked third, out of a total 50 tyres, excelling at dry handling, wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling. According to Autobild 2023, the tyre's major strengths are its excellent driving dynamics and short braking distances in both wet and dry conditions. However, its high price and limited mileage can be considered as drawbacks.Its standout feature is its superb grip in wet conditions, providing an unparalleled driving experience.
On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta PS71, produced by South Korean tyre manufacturer Kumho, has a lower rating of 68%. It also performed well in the Autobild test, securing the 12th position, with its high points being handling in wet conditions, comfort, and resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning. However, according to Autobild 2025, although the tyre exhibits excellent resistance to aquaplaning and convincing driving dynamics, it falls behind in the cost category. Autobild 2023 praises the tyre for its well-balanced, high performance, good handling qualities and short braking distances in both wet and dry conditions. This tyre, however, suffers from a high level of driving noise.
In conclusion, while both tyres are competent for summer conditions, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, though pricier, offers impressive performance in both dry and wet conditions along with good handling dynamics. The Kumho Ecsta PS71, on the other hand, provides a balanced performance with great handling and braking but a little less comfort due to increased noise. It may, however, be preferred by budget-conscious drivers due to its more affordable price.
Hence, in the overall test comparison, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 comes out on top, but the choice largely depends on individual preferences and budget.
