Kumho Tyres ECSTA PS71 Reviews

Great in the wet, a little noisier then the old KU39s that were in previously, rears have worn well and fronts are looking good as well. will be happy to get 40k out of the set as its staggered fitment

These tyres, in this specific size performed well with my cars weight and torque - I couldn't ask for more! Keeping in mind that my suspension is fresh, and my wheel alignment is tuned to what I like, and my car has no bad handling characteristic which I'm hoping to hide with tyres. If I had to pick a fault I would say that the dry braking performance could be better, tho it isn't terrible. Subjectively, the tyre give confidence in cornering, with a lot of audible communication and a gradual predictable breakaway. The sidewall is medium stiffness, but a little extra tyre pressure makes it nice and stiff with the 235/45/17 on 17x8.5. The treadwear (utqg) is 320, however I was a little surprised that they didn't last a bit longer, but I do put them under a lot of stress regularly. I got these on special for $ each inc fitting & balancing, and for that price or close to that price, I couldn't ask for more!!! (For the RRP I think you could get a better tyre on special if you shop around) Enjoy :)

Def better than Bridgestones they replaced. A slight understeer but that could be me because car needed wheel alignment. Quieter than expected for a Tyre this price. So far all good.

Original tyres on new car when I purchased it 2013 ! Have lasted 5 years & been very reliable in dry & wet weather conditions ! Have had to break quickly a few times & very reliable yet again ! Would highly recommend these tyres and in need of new tyres very soon & hope to get these Kumho Tyres PS71 !

Great tyres long lasting tread with minimal wear, great ride comfort
