Ranked #8 of 50
Finishing 8th out of 50 competitors, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 achieved a commendable distinction for its performance, earning a final rating of "Good." This tire displayed a well-rounded competence, delivering reliable results on both dry and wet roads. Its braking distances were marked as good compared to other participants, especially noting its proficiency on wet surfaces with strong grip and confident maneuverability. However, it did report minor setbacks, including slight deficiencies in its environmental footprint, efficiency, and sustainability aspects. While it scored well for its longevity and wear, the increased weight of the tire detracted from its efficiency rating. Moreover, sustainability was rated merely as satisfactory, primarily due to its production origin. Despite these areas for improvement, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 stood out for its safety on the road, confirming its solid standing among other contenders.
