Kumho Ecsta PS31 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 52 reviews

The Kumho Ecsta PS31 earns its most consistent praise for dry grip, mentioned positively in 31 accounts without a matching complaint. Wet grip, ride comfort and value also attract substantially more praise than criticism. Noise is more divisive, with 15 positive comments and ten complaints, around one in five of the 52 accounts discussing specific aspects. Tread life is closely split, and around one in eight describe the sidewall as too soft. Repeat reviews do not show a consistent ageing trend, so neither short life nor deteriorating performance should be treated as universal.

The grip is superb on both dry and wet roads.
Worth for the cheap price.
The tyre's only con is the road noise.
It's acceptable though.
I recommend it

I tried on fresh dunlop dz101 same size and then these Kumho Ecsta PA31's. Much quiter in comparison, gives a pretty soft ride and have a good road grip in wet and dry (fortunately it rained the same day).
These are much higher value for money and the dealer offered 80,000km or 3 year warranty incase of deshaping and wear. So probably the dealer is also quite confident of what he's selling in Pakistan.
The tread is good for all terrains specially given the road conditions in Pakistan. If it works good on Pakistani roads, this is good for all road conditions anywhere in the world.

excellent quality / price ratio, very comfortable (soft shoulder) and silent, good handling, lack a bit of precision at very high speeds ... stunning results given the price

I attached the tires with SUBARU Regacy B4 3.0R. Very quiet as same as Bridgestone REGNO. The driving feeling is very smooth like silk and the tires wrap the roughness of road, so the cabin is very quiet and at the same time the dry grip is exellent.

Have them only 3 months and done about 4000 km.So far so good.like I have 18 inch wheels but comfort it's very good tyres are very quiet and comfortable for every day driving.My car is tdi so not going on the track but I think they are not for track because they are little bit to soft compound.

Dry grip is comparable to Michelin PS3s or even better due to a stiffer sidewall. Wet grip is mediocre at best, if you like wet grip stick to Michelin PS3s.

most people are interested in wet reviews so here is mine.

i drive a built vehicle with a LSD in my 6 speed shift. roughly torque of 500nm.

in heavy rain these tyres grip no slip. pedal to the floor with launch control and you take off like its a dry surface. pushed in cornering no sliding.

theses tyres are soft and very well priced. they are not dead quiet tyres but good enough for me. i noticed the quicker you go with these the better they feel.

would buy again but note it is UHP all season tyre so you decide. these are about half the price of the european brands. will be buying this brand or hankook only.
