Kumho Ecsta PA51 

If you want "super hards" on your daily driver maximizing performance for all weather conditions, don't pass this tire up (UTQG 500 Traction AA Temp A). 20,000 miles mixed mileage, religious tire rotations and hawkish preservation of relatively high tire pressures (35 front, 32 rear) with no issues. Good longitudinal and lateral stability, very predictable and performs well under lateral stress (55 mph cloverleaf curves). Nearly unnoticeable difference in the dry and the wet, though it will slip in moderate snow. This is not a tire you would put on a saloon or luxury car, you will hear friction running it's course and as a very hard compound, "comfort" is not a factor I chose when purchasing the tire, the stock summer tires offered a quieter and smoother ride - but lasted about 15,000 miles. These Kumho PA51s are on pace for about 55,000 miles based on inspection results, and similar Kumho tire products I have purchased on average last between 50,000 and 70,000 miles.
Overall: 8.5/10
Endurance: 10/10
Dry Traction: 8/10 (It's not a summer or racing tire)
Wet Traction: 9/10 (Keeps traction with the road at highway speed in small puddled standing water)
Cornering: 9/10 (You can hear when the tire is at its lateral limit)
Response: 9/10 (If there is torsion lag, its hard to feel)
Snow: 6/10 (Go very very slow - take those 30mph corners at 10.)
Ride Comfort: 5/10 (You will feel the seams between the asphalt)
Noise: 6/10 (You will hear the tire manipulating physics)

Bought these as a 3- season roadtrip / everyday driving tire for my otherwise autocross and track focused corvette. I have been very pleased with the performance overall.

In the dry they have plenty of traction for your modestly spirited canyon runs and backroad driving. In the wet they are confident, but may still hydroplane a little through deep puddles.

Road noise and comfort are good. Much better than the stiff sidewall 200TW autocross tires I would typically run, but its not gonna transform your hot rod into a luxury touring machine. No offensive tread noise or howl in my experience.

These tires do have good road manners, with resonably light steering, and good resistance to following tar snakes in the road. They do take potholes pretty well, where on 200TW tires I might get a spinal adjustment going over a pothole, these seem to be much more forgiving. Overall trouble free highway and around town driving experience.

Fuel economy performance is average, and treadwear has been great so far. I expect these tires will age out on a weekend driver before they wear out based on what I have seen.

I did have to drive these in a snow storm one time. I drove very cautiously and they gave enough grip to get around safely on plowed roads. Not recommended, but they will get you home if you're not a dummy.

Overall, I would recommend these for your sports car if you want good driving performance in a 3 season tire, but are more concerned with comfort and treadwear than ultimate grip.

Replaced the loud and stiff RFTs on the Mini Countryman…these are great tires. Dramatically more quiet, and much better riding. Not floaty. Not bouncy. Nicely damped and smoothed out the horrible heavy crashiness of the RFTs.

This was an awesome purchase. The pricing was great and I couldn't be more pleased with the tires. I got them to replace the OEM tires I had on my 2018 BMW X3. The originals were run flat tires which typically, in my experience, provide a harsher ride and significantly more road noise than normal tires. I am happy that these Kumhos have so far proved me right as they are quiet and comfortable tires at all speeds (I have taken them pass 100 mph). I finally feel like I am riding in a luxury vehicle.

Surprised at how quiet the ride is and the control.

These tires are a fantastic value and they perform wonderfully. Tread wear is pretty amazing too. I had 70k on these and replaced them before they were down to the wear bars! Wet weather in the Northwest demands tread depth….otherwise I would likely have gotten another 10k out of them. This is my second set on the same car.

Previous tires were Bridgestone Pole Position so these were a welcome change from the stuff sidewalls of the Bridgestones. I drive my sport wagon daily and wanted a tire that would have good road manners but also sporty feel if I felt so I inclined. Overall, very happy with my purchase. Sidewalls were softer so they gave the car a much more “touring” feel, which is nice for daily driving. Low road noise, no complaints driving in the rain (take that with a grain of sale since it’s a Subaru but still felt very good). Also did well in the snow for a high performance AS tire (didn’t get into too deep of snow but in the winter they did perform well). For the price it’s hard to beat. There is some grip that is given up, but in the future I plan on having a set of dedicated summer tires for performance. Also very happy with tire longevity. I had to replace two after an incident where a chunk of road was missing but I’d estimate I’ve gotten about 45k out of these tires. They are balding due to needing an alignment but I feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth out of them. An excellent tire, highly recommend!
