Kumho Tyres ECSTA LE SPORT KU39 Reviews

best tyres I have had

Tyres hook up really well especially with 340rwkw. Dry and wet grip is excellent and ride quality is good. Tyres seem to be wearing quite well.

For the size I need, a lot of tyre prices are high. I'm not the type to go for the cheapest either so needed something in between and these have performed pretty well. Have gone through a few sets (camber wear) in a total of around 80,000km. I did have one have a bubble and another split on the side. However apart from that, they've been good. Awesome in the rain and off the mark. Car has a natural tendency to understeer but that's the setup, not tyre related.

These tyres impressed me with their value for money, initially I wasn't expecting them to be as good of a tyre as they are but I have been surprised!  They handle spirited driving very well, and haven't lost any of their dry or wet weather performance even after 20000k's.  Will definitely recommend to friends and family!!

They are pretty good if you are just driving on public roads, good grip in the dry and the wet, fantastic wear.  If you consider doing any track work with these tyres though, you will find that they seem to harden up a lot, and even with heaps of tread left your wet and dry grip will suffer markedly.  My recommendation for anyone that takes their car onto the track, is to steer clear of these tyres.

Bought these as replacements for old Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002s. Compared to those the KU39s were very significantly cheaper and although dry performance is not as sticky it's actually performed slightly better in the wet and the NVH levels are a remarkable improvement. The Bridgestones lasted 45,000km with regular rotation which I have been told is rather significant considering how aggressive the compound was. The Kumhos have done 30,000km since fitting and they are only a couple of millimetres off the wear bars. 

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to INFLATE my own ego, but since I've been driving with KUMHO KU39 TYRES I can cope much better with any PRESSURE that ROLLS my way. Unlike my previous WHEELS that had the POTENZA to SLIP up, BREAKAWAY and lose GRIP in SLIPPERY situations, my KUMHO KU39 RUBBERS never TYRE of safely transporting me across town or fear to TREAD on rough TERRAIN even when things may get tricky.They're not cheap but its great PERFORMANCE OFFSETS and outweighs that minor negative.

These tyres came fitted to my Megane RS when I purchased the car. They offer plenty of grip in both dry and wet conditions. Tread wear also seems to be quite good. I’d definitely consider purchasing a replacement set, considering rival tyres are over 50% more expensive in this size.

Absolutely poor value for money when it comes to wear. Due for replacement at 12,000 For the expense of the tyres they are not worth it

Smooth ride. Run well. Pretty quiet. Have slipped a bit in the wet before.
