Passenger Car Summer Ultra High Performance Tyres Tyre Review Highlights

Kumho Ecsta PS71 rated 90% while driving a Audi Q8

Dry is ok.

Wet is frightingly dangerous with massive understeer and no grip under exceleration.

Braking distance has almost doubled also.

These ar so bad they should be pulled from the market.

Toyo Proxes Sport 2 rated 98% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulia q4 2.0T 280+
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
I have fitted these to my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Q4 a few months ago and I am so impressed so far. Replacing the originally fitted Goodyear Asym 3 made such a difference. First of all the Toyo's are not run flats and the comfort is a million miles better. The noise level is lower. The grip is phenomenal and easily outperforms my old tires. Due to that the temptation to drive faster and faster is just massive. The only concern is that the Toyo's might not last as long as the others so called premium brands but I personally do not care at all as I drive very low mileage per year and I often replace tires only because the are getting too old. I simply can finish their tread before they completely turn into hard plastic. I have been using only Pirelli, Goodyear and Michelin so far at different cars I have owned. The Goodyear Asym 6 was priced exactly the same as the Toyo's but I have decided to try something different. Not feeling sorry for a bit. I would by Toyo again without any doubts that the tire provides me with all the confidence on the road I need. The premium brand bias is not something that I am going to be compliant with any more.

Kumho Ecsta PS71 rated 51% while driving a Mazda MX5
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Car this tyre was fitted on was a 2000 NB MX5 with Teinz coil overs and white line sway bars set to their stiffest setting.

This tire is great, except it's one glaring flaw: once grip is lost it takes longer to regain traction than most if not all tires in its class (dry and wet). i have this on personal experience and accounts from a handful of other people who have a PS71 fitted.

The PS71 is a good Tyre if you get it for a cheap price. I payed $560 Aud for a 205/45/16 set (incl fitting and balancing) with no discount and I have reasonable confidence that no other tyre will come close to the PS71 at this price point or close to it. (the good price does not seem to scale with an increase in size unfortunately)

while you can hustle the PS71 on a twisty road its lower level of grip relative to other options in its class on the market, hesitance to regain grip after it is broken and relatively soft sidewall make it a subpar option to other tyres available in class and certainly to semislicks (where hard street and track driving is concerned). Make no mistake though, these have tires have more than enough grip for driving within the bounds of the law (to get them unstuck you would need to be driving in a manner your local law enforcement would be unimpressed by to say the least)

as for driving feel, it is okay but not great. it feels pretty numb but I am yet to conclude if it is an alignment or tyre issue

If you just want a competent, safe, mostly reliable performance Tyre for daily and spirited driving, this will do it for you. That is until you get into a situation where you loose grip. not to say that it does it to a degree that is dangerous, but when you unintentionally loose traction every moment longer the tyre takes to come back is a moment that could save you, and on this reason alone if you have a Michelin pilot sport, continental MC Tyre, Goodyear eagle f1 available in your size I would strongly suggest paying the premium for those options. If you stay at 8/10ths and below and have ABS I wouldn't as much about the beyond limits grip.

TLDR; If you never flirt with your cars limits, cannot find a better option for your wheel size and/or need just a 'good enough' Tyre to have until you get another set of rims, this tire is a strong contender. however if you hate the idea of a tire that behaves badly past the limits of grip, I would advise looking elsewhere.

Nankang Sportnex AS2 Plus rated 76% while driving a Skoda
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
I’ve always been a premium tyre guy (Michelin ps4s, Continental PC6) but couldn’t afford a set of premium this time round.
I was pretty disappointed in these initially; they seemed to have no bite in corners and felt very vague.

After a few months of wearing in I can only assume they have some camber wear on them now. The performance of these tyres now is absolutely stunning for the price, easily punching close to PS4s performance. The feedback from them is great but they do ride a little harsh compared to the Conti.
