<\/p>\nKumho\u2019s Ecsta HS52 achieved an excellent result in a recent test of tyre performance by European automobile association ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club), and was one of only three products to receive a \u2018Good\u2019 rating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Ecsta HS52, a summer tyre designed for European roads and climatic conditions, finished third after products from Continental and Michelin<\/p>\n
The test compared the performance of summer tyres (size 215\/55R17) from 16 manufacturers including Kumho Tyre. Using a Volkswagen T-Roc, the test disciplines encompassed two key areas: \u2018driving safety\u2019 which included wet and dry road performance and \u2018environmental balance\u2019 covering mileage, wear resistance, efficiency, noise levels and sustainability.<\/p>\n
With a range covering sizes to fit models from superminis and small family saloons to large executive cars and CUVs, the Ecsta HS52\u2019s tread features a robust block pattern which allows the tyre to maintain consistently high levels of grip, whilst delivering a quiet, smooth, and comfortable ride. <\/p>\n
In addition, the tyre\u2019s rigid, powerful shoulder blocks enhance steering performance for maximum driving safety.<\/p>\n
Seonghak Song, senior vice president of Kumho Tire\u2019s PC Tyre Development 2, said: \u201cThis outstanding test result from an organisation with significant influence in Europe and around the world demonstrates the technological prowess of Kumho Tyre. <\/p>\n
