Kumho KH 11 Ecsta Summer Tyre

I am on my third set of these incredible tyres, superb grip, fantastic wear rate, I find these the better than Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin or Dunlop!

The Kumho KH 11 Ecsta Summer Tyre is good in my experience, it lasts but I think it gets a litle bit hard and noisy after 8000 miles, maybe if you rotate them front-back this wouldn 't happen.

Recently changed from Pirelli P6000 to the Kumho KH11 summer tyres and found no difference in performance, excellent for a tyre half the price!

I got the Kumho KH 11 on my 1980 Porsche 911 SC because Michelins were out of stock. What an eye opener. I am deperate to get them again. They replaced Pirelli P6000 and the difference was unbelievable. The dry handling is far superior, even to Michelins in my opinion. They have no tyre screech to warn when you are about to slide. So it take some getting used to.

I emergency replaced the fronts with Michelin Primacy and I realised they are horrible handling wise. My car is a lot less precise and more understeery. I want Kumho again. The price is VERY attractive too

Oh and my rear tyres, even with my sporty driving style, has lasted more than double the Pirelli distance.

The slight handling issue in wet weather is no biggie. One shouldn't drive fast in the wet and they are certainly capable enough. Normal driving is great. Faster driving needs more care.

I can easily recommend these to anyone with a sporty car.

I have an unusual wheel size (185/50/R16) making replacement tyres expensive. Only 5 or 6 manufacturers make this size - the ususal suspects Michelin, Pirelli, Continental etc. - and they are all expensive c£100. Imagine my surprise when I found the Kumho KH 11 Ecsta at £53 fitted - almost half price!

I am now on my second set. They delivered 20,000 mile performance with little noticeable difference in handling, braking, road noise and comfort. Highly recommended.

I picked up some 205/50/17 Kumho KH11 Ecsta tyres for around £52 each, which in my book for a good brand is an absolute bargain and they haven't let me down. I read reviews before I bought them and I would highly recommend these tyres. I certainly would buy them again as their grip is good and they seem to wear well. Go on, buy some - you won't regret it!
