Kumho Ecsta KU39

Really value for money but do not expect too much out of it. Good grip in the dry and good tyre for wet roads.

After running a number of different brands on my Vauxhall Astra i cannot believe how good these tyres are. I have had Bridgestone, Continental, Toyo and now these on the same car, so I can compare. The KU39 is without a doubt the best value for money tyres i have ever bought. Got these from Micheldever Tyres on there recommendations for just under £80 per tyre in 17 inch. My god im glad they recommended them.

Very impressed, have run KU31s before and thought they were good, the 39s are even better. My last set was Toyo 888s.
The 39s obviously don't grip as well as a semi slick track based tyre but the ku39s are seriously good especially when you consider the 888s are almost four times as expensive when you factor in how long they last. I expect to get about 10,000 miles out of them whereas my 888s were shot by 5,000.

Very progressive breakaway and great feel and feedback from the tyre. On a dry track they gave very good grip and were good in braking as well. Only done a few 100 road miles on them, already thought i feel that I will almost certainly be buying them again as they tick the box for my track and road use.

Hello all,

I used to run Toyo T1R in my Civic, but as I started making more and more KM per month the Toyo would simply melt in the road.
Don't get me wrong, they are exelent tyres (my favourite street tires)and I am only changing in order to find a longer lasting tire.

First impressions with the Kumho KU39. Silent, very quiet and a lot more comfortable than the Toyo T1R, at the expense of sidewall stiffness.

Dry Grip, a notch lower than the toyo, sidewall is soft but overall it it very good, suprisingly good for the price.

Wet Grip, still not much tested but they complyed very well with the few rain they catched.

When they start to loose grip, they are very predictable.

Let's see how long they last, maybe they will be my defenitive choice for my Daily Driver.

Fantastic tyre, massive improvement over the original Bridgestone RFT. If you are running a BMW on 19" tryes and suffering from inner edge wear, hard crashy ride and expensive bills whe replacing your tyres then switch your whole car over to these, you wont be disappointed.

Excellent grip in the wet and dry, no tramlining on the motorways and no skipping over road imperfections. Will continue to run these on my car until I change it

great in wet or dry conditions - haven't experienced winter conditions with them so can't comment on that i'm afraid. good feedback, comfortable and reassuring. they perform just as good as tyres that are twice the price. highly recommended. i've done a smidge under 4000 miles and they haven't lost even a millimetre of tread depth yet so if that's anything to go by, then they should last a fair while...

I have fitted these all round on my ibiza fr tdi, all i can say is wow!!
Had Toyo T1r an Falken FK452 before both good but these are much much better, quieter an have much better grip.
£59 each all in from R&M tyres medway.

Having 400bhp in a FWD car is not much fun when you can't get it onto the road, this I experienced with my last set of tyres Conti sport contact 3's.... Dry grip was good but I didn't rate them in the wet!

Have had the kumho's on for just over 4k and I'm impressed! Don't get me wrong tho.... In the wet I still can't give it full beans but I don't think there is a tyre out there's which could do this!!

Dry grip is brilliant and handling in the wet has really improved!!

WOULD RECOMMEND HIGHLY!!
