Balancing issues, egg-shaped tires.
Comments
Purchased the Kumho Ecsta PS71 for Vauxhall Insignia CDTI SRI 160 and its been a frustrating experience. The tires are affordable and the initial grip seemed promising. 

However I encountered constant balancing issues and even ended up with egg-shaped tires. Despite multiple rebalancing attempts, the problem persisted. These tires were very soft and felt squishy, almost like running on low pressure. Ive had similar issues with previous Kumho models, and I think its time to move on to a different brand. 

Not recommended if you want a hasslefree experience.

Replaced my Conti premium tires with these  PS71s.  They not quite up to the standard of more premium brands but for the price, they ar a reasonable choice. However if youre looking for consistent grip, especially in wet conditions, you might want to consider other options.

Compared to the previous dunlop sport maxx rt tires, these have slightly less grip in high-speed corners but are still fantastic overall. For the price, they offer great value and I would definitely buy them again. Theyve transformed the driving experience making the car feel much more connected to the road.
