Kumho's KH11 beats rivals again
Once again, Kumho’s ECSTA KH11 has beaten many of its top-brand rivals in a recent major UK tyre test.

Over the summer, respected motoring journal, Auto Express held what it described as 'the most comprehensive tyre test ever conducted by a magazine'. No fewer than 16 brands were put through their paces in the popular size 195/65R15 in a series of 10 tough tests at Uvalde in Texas.

The asymmetrically treaded KH11 finished in the top six brands overall, underlining its remarkable consistency of performance in magazine tests over the past two years. As on previous occasions its strongest performance was in the wet disciplines which Auto Express itself regards as '... when rubber faces its toughest test – a tyre could make the difference between avoiding a crash or becoming a statistic.'

respected motoring journal AutoExpressAfter a series of strong performances, particularly in the areas of wet braking, handling and cornering, the KH11 finished with an overall percentage of 98.04 per cent. In their summary, the testers commented that the Kumho 'represented superb value, outperforming many more expensive rivals'.

Kumho's executive director Steve Tidmarsh commented: "We are delighted that the KH11 has performed so well again and it bears testimony to the significant investment that KUMHO has made in developing products of the highest quality."
