Product description & features

A budget tyre that still promises high performance capabilities, the Ecsta HS52 is developed for strong handling in both wet and dry weather conditions.

These car tyres offer features to help tackle aquaplaning, further strengthening the tyre’s wet grip performance.

An innovative tread compound increases mileage of the tyre compared to its predecessor, the Ecsta HS51.

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 arrives in 14-inch to 20-inch rim sized tyres.

Strong Wet and Dry Grip

The Ecsta HS52 arrives with an asymmetrical tread design, providing highly balanced performance on wet and dry driving conditions.

The wide grooves featured on the tread helps the tyre tackle aquaplaning through efficient water dispersion across the tyre.

Enhanced Mileage

Thanks to a blend of high grip resins, highly dispersible silica and multi-functionalised polymers not only helps the wet and dry grip performance, but also positively contributes to longevity of the tyre.

Wet-weather performance is achieved through the silica compound as the silica works to provide a low-heat build-up.

They have good grip when cornering in dry conditions but unfortunately they haven't been tested much in wet conditions due to the dry weather we've had of late

The car feels loads better to drive. There is less road noise and the car feels more stable. The old tyres had gone out of shape causing them to wear very badly and making the handling difficult, and the wheel alignment was pretty good so that can’t be blamed. If these tyres wear ok I will definitely fit them again.
