In this comparison, we will review and provide the test results of two summer tyres - the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Uniroyal RainSport 3. These tyres are manufactured by Kumho and Uniroyal, respectively. We will discuss their strengths and weaknesses, mutual test positions, and overall performance in tests.
Kumho Ecsta PS71
The Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a summer tyre with a customer rating of 79%. This tyre has not been replaced by a newer model and there are no previous models to consider. The PS71 is mainly known for its good dry performance and comfortable ride. However, it also presents some weaknesses, such as a relatively lower wet grip.
In the Autobild test, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 ranked 18th out of 53 tyres tested. This position suggests that it is a decent choice for summer driving and could be a good option for drivers looking to balance key features for dry and wet conditions.
Uniroyal RainSport 3
On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 3 is also a summer tyre with a slightly lower customer rating of 78%. The RainSport 3 has not been replaced by a new model either, and there are no previous models to consider as well. The Uniroyal tyre is famous for its excellent wet grip and aquaplaning properties. However, it may not be the best choice when it comes to dry performance and wear.
In the Autobild test, the Uniroyal RainSport 3 had a slightly lower ranking compared to the Kumho Ecsta PS71, coming in at 21st out of 53 tested tyres. This shows that the RainSport 3 is a good option for drivers who prioritize wet performance and are willing to compromise on dry conditions and wear characteristics.
Verdict
Both the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Uniroyal RainSport 3 have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. If you are looking for a tyre with good dry performance and a comfortable ride, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 is the better choice. However, if you prioritize excellent wet grip and aquaplaning properties, the Uniroyal RainSport 3 might be the right option for you.
In terms of their performance in mutual tests, both tyres fall into the middle of the ranking in the Autobild test, with the Kumho Ecsta PS71 being a slightly better choice overall. Ultimately, the decision between these two tyres depends on your specific driving preferences and the conditions you typically encounter during the summer months.
