How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Kumho Ecsta AST KU25 receives polarized reviews, functioning well as an affordable everyday daily driver tire and gaining a dedicated following among Can-Am Spyder trike owners for its exceptional longevity and value. However, traditional automotive users note significant drawbacks in wet weather predictability, aggressive driving limits, and notably high road noise.
Pros
- Attractive, budget-friendly price point
- Impressive treadwear and longevity, particularly noted on alternative fitments like trikes
- Good dry grip and handling once warmed up
- Aggressive and appealing tread pattern
Cons
- Unpredictable and poor wet-weather traction
- Excessive road noise
- Abrupt loss of grip at the absolute limit rather than a gradual slip
- Unsuitable for spirited or high-performance driving
Worth knowing
- Users installing this tire on the rear of Can-Am Spyder trikes report phenomenal results, achieving significantly higher mileage compared to stock options and reliable handling across diverse conditions.
