Generally, Nokian summer tyres are slightly better rated (62%) than Kumho (56%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 has a better rating of 73% compared to 68% of the Nokian WetProof. The first tyre test of Nokian WetProof was done in 2019, compared to 2022 when was the Kumho Ecsta HS52 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autoklub ČR 2023 205/55 R16 test, where both the WetProof and the Ecsta HS52 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Nokian WetProof dimensions has A wet grip rating. Most (77%) of the Kumho Ecsta HS52 also have A wet ratings. We also know where WetProof is made - Finland.
