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.
The Ecsta HS51 is available in 15-inch, 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch rim sized tyres.
 

Sporty Handling with Everyday Comfort

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.
 

Wet Weather Safety and Aquaplaning Resistance

Four wide main grooves and lateral channels efficiently displace water to reduce aquaplaning risk.
Notched shoulder blocks and strengthened groove design increase grip during wet cornering, offering peace of mind in unpredictable conditions.

I haven't really used the car much for long journeys but the journeys I have made the tyres seem to be very good and from the low tread tyres I did have on its great to get new ones on.

Quite good. Given how worn my previous tyres were. It is difficult to compare like for like. They appear to grip and generally perform as well as expected.

The tyres perform as expected, I have no complaints. The car is a 1999 MGF and is very much a fine weather car and only used from April to October, it is SORN'd during the winter months.

It's a bit early to do a proper assessment, yet they seem to be improving as they break in. Not that grippy when you push off with gusto, but but holds the corners well. Had no problems in the wet. Generally happy with the purchase so far.
