About this deal
Good price for good rated tyres
Suitable for city and compact cars, the Kumho Ecowing ES31 delivers better performance in terms of wear, safety and fuel consumption than its predecessor.
Suitable for city and compact cars, the Kumho Ecowing ES31 delivers better performance in terms of wear, safety and fuel consumption than its predecessor.
Strengths:
The Ecowing ES 31 is a more economical tyre than its predecessor. Its tread compound uses high dispersible micro-silica to drive more miles.
Fuel consumption is lower thanks to the E-SBR tread compound and more aerodynamic shoulders, factors that reduce the rolling resistance.
In terms of safety, braking distances are shorter than with the previous version. Four longitudinal grooves quickly clear water to increase grip and prevent skidding.
The asymmetric tread has reinforced shoulder blocks to provide stable handling in dry conditions.

sorted byIn my case I've had excellent results with Chinese brands in recent years.
Jinyu were excellent tyres, a pal had a set on his Honda CRV that managed over 40,000 miles before replacement. I've used them as well with similar results.
I've also had good outcomes with the ATS house brand Hilo Genesys tyres, managed over 35,000 miles and absolutely no problems in the wet.
My son's mother, has also fitted Hilo to her Honda jazz and no complaints.
The chap at the local ATS, also mentioned they were very good tyres, despite being possibly the cheapest that they supply.
I'd had Hilo tyres on my car, since 2017, so that merely confirmed my experience with them.
They were only £32 each, fitted and balanced with TCB. Now they are like £55 each... (edited)

Glad people have good experience of these tyres on here.

YMMV of course (edited)
Had 2 fitted on my Octavia 2 years ago. Correct rated tyre pressures and wheel alignment yet worn on both edges which would signify low tyre pressure but they were correct for the vehicle. I had to adjust to 40psi to prevent further wear so traction wasn't best. Managed to get almost 16k miles and 2 years out of them but theyr are ready for changing now.
I would def recommend trying extra load if fitting to heavier car
