Review
These tyres have phenominal dry grip but do not trade off on wet grip much at all. The front tyres do a great job in providing steering feedback, turn in is progressive and the sidewalls are likeably stiff so when I'm cornering fast I know where the car is going. The only thing to add regarding the rear tyres is that they do a great job sticking 450bhp to the floor where the old run-flats would have the car snaking around. The thread pattern on these set of tyres looks aggresive! They are also quiet, doing their job silently.

What I like
Astounding performance from these tyres! Superb gripping on dry tarmac, responsive tyres that 'communicates' with the driver, and works silently.

What I do not like
Not the best in wet conditions.

Review
Unbelievable grip handling and turn in wear is very good for such aggressive tyre. Dry traction is very good and predictable. It only get noisier as they wear. Very rarely do they squeal on hard cornering once they loose their new tread "squirm" factor. It gives me more confident on driving, knowing that I feel very safe with it due to their grip handling.

What I like
Unbelievable grip handling and turn in wear is very good for such aggressive tyre.

What I do not like
It wears faster than I thought.

Review
These set of Kumho Ecsta XS KU36 were very good gripping on both wet and dry road condtions, and also performs quietly! Overall, these were very pleasant tyres to be driving on. They also maneuvre around smoothly and comfortably without much of a hassle. Leaving the spot that I was idle on a few moments ago happened so quick, you won't be seeing me in a while. The treadwear on these tyres are also quite slow, something most would go for. They are expensive though, for a trade.

What I like
Its great all-around performance is just fantastic - grip, sidewall, treadlife - you name it, they got it.

What I do not like
Their price tag weighs quite heavily!

First impression is the way it looks. The thread pattern looks similar to semi slicks. On dry surface, it gives me absolute confidence, knowing that they it will grip. On wet surface, they grip very well, much better than i expected, probably because they are still new. Road noise is may be quite annoying for those silent moving cars, but it does not bother me much since i already have a loud car. These Kumho Ecsta XS KU36 has a treadlife that lasts pretty long! Would recommend it to average performance lovers!

What I like
Awesome grip on dry or wet asphalt.

What I do not like
Road noise sometimes do annoy me, because I don't just hear pure engine sound.

On wet surface, they grip very well, much better than i expected. The squeel isn't to be bothered; very little noise! Wear and tear wise, it isn't too long nor short; reasonable.

What I like
The awesome grip it has is just worth being emphasized repeatedly.

What I do not like
Would be much better if it lasts long, would be so much awesome that way.

These tyres are affordable even when accounting for their slightly below average lifespan. It's quiet even on rough roads (like the KPE) and can't really feel any bumps on the roads. The grip on both dry and wet tarmac is good and I have never lost control with these tyres before.

I want nobody nobody but you! This is what I have always been saying to my Kumho KU36 Ecsta KU36 Ecsta XS. This tyres have incredible grip in all condition! High speed cornering is great. I sometimes wonder if I get this, I can save more buy not changing a BBK! (just kidding!). Driving Kumho KU36 Ecsta XS in the highway is a extremely pleasure thing to do. It is even comparable to some of the continental brands tyres in the market. But the downside is that the treadwear rating is at 180, so i can foresee myself changing tyres more frequent that i was used to. But all i can say it is all worth the money with such a excellent tyres.

What I like
- Good grips in corner
- Good price
- Grip well during wet condition

What I do not like
Tend to wear off faster (for my driving style).

Excellent grip especially when cornering. During wet weather, I am still able to feel the maintained grip. KU36's wet handling/grip exceeded expectation and when it let go it was in a predictable way. Lasted as long as i expected

What I like
Excellent grip.
Reason lifespan for the tyre.

What I do not like
Nil.
