Product description & features

The HS51 combines the dynamic response expected from a performance tyre with the quietness and comfort suited for daily driving.
It’s built for drivers who want balanced performance without compromise.

A solid central rib enhances steering precision and block stiffness, improving dry braking and overall handling.
Compound technology further supports high-speed stability and controlled responsiveness on urban roads and motorways.

Very pleased with the performance of the tyres in terms of grip and they provide a more comfortable and quieter ride than the previous tyres. I have not bought Kumho tyres before but I would highly recommend this tyre for a Fiesta.

Great. They are quieter and appear to offer up better grip in both wet and dry conditions. I’m no side ways sliding driver and my car will not win many races so I might not be the best person to ask - but they work for me!

Having completed about 8000 miles on these Kumhos, I'm very pleased with them. The grip, both dry and wet, gives me confidence in the handling of the car. The road noise is good and the economy is still well up there. The fronts are now on 5.5mm of tread, the rears still over 7mm.
