From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Avon 3D Ultra Supersport is highly regarded by motorcycle riders for its exceptional grip and versatility across both road and track environments. Users express high satisfaction with its performance, indicating a strong intent to repurchase the product.
Pros
- Exceptional grip levels
- Suitable for both road and track use
- High rider satisfaction and brand loyalty
Cons
- Lack of data regarding wet weather performance
Observations
- Reported as a strong performance choice for middleweight naked motorcycles like the Suzuki SV650.
The Kumho Ecsta XS KU36 is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, performance-oriented tire that excels in dry grip and track-day environments. While users appreciate its aggressive handling and value proposition, the consensus highlights significant drawbacks regarding road noise and steering feedback, making it better suited for dedicated weekend or track vehicles rather than daily commuters.
Pros
- Exceptional dry surface grip and cornering confidence
- Strong, rigid sidewall construction
- High value-to-performance ratio
- Surprisingly capable performance in wet conditions for a semi-slick design
Cons
- High levels of road noise that tend to worsen over time
- Lack of steering precision and on-center feel
- Rapid tread wear consistent with aggressive performance compounds
- Limited stability in heavy rain or at high speeds on wet surfaces
Observations
- Users running staggered setups (e.g., 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear) report positive experiences with dry grip and cornering.
- Drivers with already loud or modified vehicles tend to be less bothered by the tire's significant road noise compared to those in stock, quieter vehicles.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
