How the Ecowing ES31 evaluated
Customer reviews are not part of PTI – PTI is based on measurements from independent tests; for tyres with few tests it also partly considers the brand's class.
Technical information
Focus: Eco-standard
The middle ground between economy and an ordinary tyre — Kumho ECOWING ES31 sits exactly here. The manufacturer aims to keep fuel consumption low without paying for it with the weaker wet behaviour typical of purely economical models. In practice it is a tyre for drivers who cover a lot of kilometres and do not want to give up much safety along the way.

What owners say
<p>Overall, these tires performed amazingly over the 4 seasons I've driven on them.</p><p>Dry performance: Handling and feedback are solid — nothing spectacular, but perfectly adequate. They're impressively quiet, and I noticed a clear difference in fuel consumption compared to my winter set.</p><p>Wet performance: This is where it's more nuanced. When new, I had zero complaints in the wet — braking and handling were confidence-inspiring. It was only after roughly the halfway point of their tread life that I started noticing wet braking and handling begin to deteriorate. So while the wet-weather grip degrades over time, it wasn't a problem from day one.</p><p>Treadwear: Excellent longevity. With ~55,000 km on them, I'm only now scratching the minimum wear indicator — very long-lasting for the mileage.</p>
<p>Great all round tyre for the price.</p>
<p>Using them on a 1.3 Toyota Yaris , in mixed conditions on highway and mountain roads.
The grip is good in dry and wet, even heavy rain. In confidence with them.
Comfort is good too , and noise level is normal.
They are at end of life after 4 years and 45.000 miles. Never experienced any puncture.
Even worn, they still had very good grip on dry road, but lighly slippery on wet roads. They offer solid performance for the price, so I'm replacing them by the same.</p>
Currently fitted to my mazda 6 in Qld Australia. Driven so far in Summer weather and the occasional heavy rain. Tyres have never given me any issues in regards to grip in the wet or dry when driven normally or pushed hard. For the price they do the job adequately and the treadwear rating is 400 is high which means if you cover a lot of kms they will definetly last a long time.
Negatives: the sidewall in the tyre is quite soft so when changing lanes / swerving side to side you can feel the tyres moving. Despite being called an eco tyre the rolling resistance is quite high when compared to my previous tyres Ecopia Ep300. I've found in highway driving they use 0.4L/100km more on average and about 0.6L/100km more in suburban driving.
Great grip in the dry, decent grip in the wet, poor grip when cold & wet.
Could be a great tyre but I've never got my money out of them since they have extreme uneven wear.
I've had 2 sets and both were subject to extreme wear on the outer edges of the front tyres. This is despite multiple alignment checks from different companies that showed alignment to be spot on.
Other than that they perform well, but I won't be buying them again.
