Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Reviews - Page 2

Given 59% while driving a Subaru g3x Justy (165/70 R14) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
A cheap name brand product was all I was seeking and these were the cheapest! They're not bad at anything but not great either, and so far have proved reliable. They do look good, a vast improvement on the Maxxis tyres they replaced in all aspects, especially visually, not that that's important. Honestly if I could afford better, I would have bought a better product but I'm safely mobile and legal and that aim was achieved with these tyres, something I wouldn't have got with some of the scary, nasty cheap stuff out there.

Fantastic tires. Running these on my Mazda 3. Very impressed with the traction. Ride quality is better than I expected based on tread design. I'm currently at approx 40,000km on the tires and they are still sitting at 80% tread remaining based on the measurements at my last tire rotation. Would buy again - recommend as a more affordable all-weather option to anyone that asks.

Given 54% while driving a Opel Astra K 1.4T 150 (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 30,000 miles
I bought these tyres in October 2021, fitted them on an Astra J, and did around 45,000 km (roughly 30,000 miles).
Driven in all road conditions (dry, wet, slush, snow, ice). Overall they are not bad, but they seem to struggle in snow, with limited grip.
Cornering on wet roads at reasonable speed has been problematic since new, with multiple occasions when ESP was prompted rather agressively.
Dry braking is also not as good as expected, again the ABS kicking in most of the times.
One big problem with Kumho Solus HA 32 is that thay began to chip smaller or bigger chunks with no apparent cause.
Wear is average. I expect them to last 5,000 miles, but no more.
All things considered, Kumhos are not bad tyres, but they do not impress either. Definitely not buying them again.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 49% while driving a Toyota (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 50,000 average miles
I had these tires installed October 2021 for mostly highway driving daily (115kms). The tires perform pretty good in the various condition encountered in Quebec, but the noise and vibration they produce is our issue. Very dissatisfied with the tire type which was purchased because it is an all weather. I had the Goodyear all weather before these and will be buying them again.

really good tyres, fitted them on my Kia ceed, used to run Bridgestone T005 and they where really bad in the rain, the Kumho is much better all season tyre

Not a high performance tyre, but very solid and fair. On an icy road it might be a bit weak but acceptable, as long as you have traction control on board.

These tires do best in wet conditions followed by snow/ice and dry. Slippage in dry conditions.

Given 78% while driving a Mazda 6 Series (225/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 1,500 easy going miles
The first impression of these tires is actually surprisingly good. They are much quieter than my summer set with Bridgestone Turanza T005 tyres. Grip and road feel are good. I have filled in the scores somewhat conservatively because I have driven relatively few kilometers with it. To be continued.

Just done a test drive with them after fitting. I am quite impressed by the dry grip. A bit bumpy compared to the old tyres but the new ones are a higher load rating which probably explains that. Will do another review on them mid winter when I’ve had them longer.

Given 79% while driving a Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
These tyres are exactly what I expected. Dry braking and grip are better than I anticipated for all-season tyres. The road noise is much lower compared to my former summer tyres (Michelin Primacy) or to my winter tyres (Hankook Winter I-cept RS2). Wet grip and braking are really good too. I am waiting to test Kumho on snow and slush, but I am positive they won't disappoint me. So far, so good. I will be coming back for an updated once I put in more miles.
