Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Kumho HS51 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

★★★☆☆

<p>It is the least sporty kumho tire i have fitted... the Ecsta MX, Ecsta KU31 and Ecsta PS31 are much better performers than this one, as expected the tire performance degraded dramatically near its end of life... typical kumho tire behavior but it is the least impressive of the lot i tried</p>

★★★☆☆

April 2019 - all new chinese Kumho tyres, 7.5mm. May 2019 - the fine tread pattern completely disappeared. August 2019 - everything was finished, on front axle 2.5mm remaining. Very-very bad in aquaplaning. About 70 km/h.
I think, for test that make of a best rubber compound, and sell to ordinary people from a cheap one.

★★☆☆☆

Rubbish tires, only lasted 30,000kms. They do ok grip wise in summer but twice I've had them aquaplaning in small ruts in wet weather, the wet weather grip is terrible. They are also the noisiest tires I've ever owned. I'm looking forward to getting rid of them!

Replace them today fo the HS52, made 45000kms 27900mies (aprox), and they were ok for may work car. Had Michelein before and were not that much better in wet condition were worst.

★★☆☆☆

The worst tyre I have ever bought.
Sidewalls are far too soft and dry grip is not what it should be.
The rear of the car actually sways when making a sharp turn as speed above 80km/h.
No, problem to get the traction control light on, never had this situation with the previous Bridgestone or Yokohama tyres.
After only 600 kms I had to the Kumho's replaced by Yokohama 105V's.
