I have put these Kumhos on my ride after replacing my old, worn-out tyres. These tyres made my car come to a stop better than any other tried before. Handling in corners is good but isn't best. This tyre is very good in straight lines - sticks like a glue on the road. Side walls of the tyre should be more hard. Better handling in turns, harder sidewalls, more kms/life and better look! The noise on these aren't of that annoying, since I have a loud engine. But to those economical, quiet cars, they can be really noisy to the ears.

What I like
They have a good grip, and driving on straights are really comfortable!

What I do not like
These tyres are quite expensive, for a Korean-made tyre.

Kumho Ecsta KU19 is the best tyres I ever had. Amazing grip hard cornering on dry and wet that doesn't make a difference. Take offs are also amazing as no traction control piping up and no marks left behind. It's very quiet at 110km/h, I can still hear engine not the road. I used to have Falkens, Michelins, Dunlops but Kumho is a way ahead from all of them. I will definitely buy again for such a reasonable price and quality.

What I like

What I do not like
It wears quite fast.

Review
I was looking to replace my tyres that had become very noisy on my car. Read various reviews before having four new tyres fitted. These Kumhos are very quiet, I am pleased to say. Wet and dry grip is very good. As far as the 'jellylike' feeling that some had reported, I can only say that these tyres are not quite as sharp when cornering, but they do grip well and are very comfortable ride with. To those who want a tyre for a high performance style of driving, these may not be your first choice. For the majority of drivers who value a quiet tyre with good grip, these are the ones to choose. The treadwear is relatively slow too; durable.

What I like
Provided me with comfort and grip that I need.

What I do not like
Doesn't give the all-perfect performance.

Review
I had always been getting low mileage, bad traction on the tarmac, and noisy, uncomfortable rides prior to using these Kumho Ecsta 19. Upon changing to Kumho am I impressed about tyres that perform astoundingly. Durable, slow wear and tear rate of the thread, ideal contact with the tarmac thus better traction, smooth and comfortable rides throughout, perfect grip on both dry and wet conditions, these set of Kumho Ecsta 19 gave me the confidence I had been lacking on tough busy roads of Singapore. Sells for quite a heavy pricetag, I personally think these tyres are reasonably priced for its performance though.

What I like
I really love the slow wear rate and its quietness.

What I do not like
Expensive, but for all these luxurities, I wouldn't want to bargain too much.

Replaced my worn-out tyres with these KU19s. I have to say, these are a great all-round choice - they grip really well on the wet and dry, and are quiet along with having a slightly softer sidewall, offering a slightly more compliant ride. On smooth glassy roads these tyres perform great too! They definitely performed fantastically on rough roads with spirited driving, supplying the driver with all the confidence needed. I am having a pretty fun time with these new KU19. Plenty of feedback before giving way at the limit!

What I like
Awesome tyres giving the confidence every spirited driver needs.

What I do not like
Being a performance tyre, they wear quite fast, and also do cost slightly expensive.

Amazingly good tyres for its price. Very good grip, good road feedback, and very low on noise. Fantastic grip on the tarmac; cornering at high speeds were not much of a problem, regardless of dry or wet conditions, they perform well on both situations. Taking off from stationary was also exciting, leaving the stationary spot effortlessly with no marks whatsoever. What I also love about these Kumho Ecsta KU19 is the low on noise. Perfect for everyday driving, perfect for those with tight budgets.

What I like
The great all around performance it has to provide, along with its reasonable pricing

What I do not like
It wears slightly fast.

It seems like the Koreans are producing just about anything these days, and some of them are very good, like this tyre. It lasted 40k+ kilometres on my car, and I always drive very fast. Even though the tyre grips the road very tightly, its still silent and I don't really feel any bumps in the road. Well made.
